[Group] Super Four Non-VTEC Family: PB1 VerR & VerS

[Winners]

Came across few cases where previous worm patches leak. This is because of the poor quality type worm rubber latex used.

 

Can always 're-worm' but make sure that extra gluey be coated on the wprm latex strip. Ah Fook dome that liao recently for someone.

 

Patching from insdie should work too..bring along your bicycle patch set..can get from Mustafa and go to Ah Fook workshop. Tyre has to come off, sand from inside around the leak area and applied the patch as with bicycle/motobike inner tubing repair work. Guess the process would cost more.

 

Thanks Ah Pek for your fast reply. Will check out with them this coming week.

RE: My Poor FC

 

hey ah pek,tried your method,pump full tank of 15litre and again only managed to hit 240km before reserve.

 

Anyway,went to ah fook and he said many reasons for the FC.

And he suspect its carb than tuning because he said my idling is good.

 

So he told me possible reason could be the rubber inside the carb hardened..this way will have alot of unburnt carbon inside.

So he blew my bike and alot black smoke(carbon) and even huge backfire..

 

In the end,he asked if i want to open my carb and check.

1 rubber will cost me $40+

If all 4 harden..ho seh liao.haha.

 

Any suggestions anyone?

Thank you

Thanks Ah Pek

 

so many scrapyard...anyone want to go see see look look?...might want to get a new mirror cause mine got a few scratches.....

[Ah Pek]

how ah pek

any more of ur liquid to intro

kekeke

wanna maintain the engine lasting

keke

 

Yes..this one is even more promising. Something happened I couldn't believe!...got extra 5km/ltr. I'm testing another fuel tank now.

[Ah Pek]

can any one help me? is it fuse?

 

Yes..likely could be fuse problem..if it's, its the red one in your left side cover side panel..10amps rating. If that particular fuse is ok..likely it could be your H4 socket wiring connector burned out and partially lost connection to the bulb..just a thought. Just give it a check first.

Yes..the coupling rubber between the carbs and inlet to engine block ports can be an issue to this oso as fuel/air mixture to the combustion is wasted to 'vapour' leak..sometime can smell fuel.

 

One piece of rubber so expansive at $40 meh? Why don't you go LAB or other places and buy the rubber and let him charge workmanship?

yeah,quite often can smell petrol..

ah fook say the rubber is original and will cost $40 plus per piece.

 

Alright,thanks for help ah pek

Hi Ah Pek and all,

 

Nowaday i notice my my bike give a tick tick tick sound from the engine area.

 

Once i start it, i can hear it loud and clear and it is getting louder. This started few months back which i choose to ignore.

 

I notice someone actually post the same problem on the S4 general question thread. They mentioned about timing chain or something.

 

Do you know this problem? Is it something common to S4?

 

My engine oil is due for a change, I will sms you soon My bike number is FBA5359 i think i still have half a bottle with u. See u soon.

Ticking sound from the overhead engine area are common and comes once in awhil..however, it should go away after the most two weeks or so and can be sooner. But if its getting louder and continous, its a tell tale sign of your shim wearing out. This is valve clearance related matters and an overhead overhaul may be needed.

 

As for timing chain or cam chain..you get a mild "krackling" sound rather then "ticking". Once this sound gets louder, the tensioner (pair of cam chain slippers) has to be work on..work wise, can be adjusted ( difficult access when working on it) or have it changed.

[Ah Pek]

ah fook say the rubber is original and will cost $40 plus per piece.

 

Alright,thanks for help ah pek

 

Waht you can do for the interim period if say you are tight on budget, check and tighten the the coupling rubber circlips (total four) screw with a long philip screw driver..but don't over tighten it. At the same time, do the same to the circlips (oso 4) behind the carbs to your airbox too. Run another full tank and see if it helps..sometime mech while working on carbs when putting them back, they may have left it 'untighten'.

Morning,

 

Mine is getting louder. this overhead overhaul sound like going to cost me a bomb. It is serious?

[Ah Pek]

Let me check with Ah Fook if he can do it and how much it roughly cost. Normally the cost is high because once the head is up and out, ppl tend to do other stuff.

[limkim]

I have never do valve clearence adjustment before. My mileage is 43000++.

 

Will that help?

[Ah Pek]

Not really..LOL!...but at least its not a virgin engine to start with.

 

Valve clearance problem can surface anytime without warning..as such that they have a life span before it happened or anything like that. The shim may not be the problem..could be weak valve spring, bad sitting of valve assembly components and anything along the vave train..etc.

Thanks ah pek.

just wondering where's the 'coupling rubber circlips' and how i can access to them.

 

But ya,for the time being,quite tight on budget so dont think gg to change the rubber.greatest worry is that change liao fc also as bad then i can faint.lol:angel:

thanks ah pek.. prob solve.. simply just ignition button stuck after start up...

Those clips are metal round ring (like those circlips that holds your coolant hose) with a scew head..right in front of the arbs opening where it meet the rubber joining to the carbs.

oh okok,got it ah pek! Haha,thanks again:cheeky:

You guys know which bike shop can i send my version S for powder coating? intend to powder coat my body frame, engine & both rims and some parts to be chrome. Try to find in the forum but they all send to factory by them self. Now i got no time to dismantle my bike.

Let ur fingers do the "walking"...look up "Yellow Pages"

[lekiboy]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...? You should asked them why the following "FF" brand? You should instead state your budget or rather the $s u willing to fork out. For example..why AFAM if you are just a day to day rider suing your bikes for regular routines...why not stock Honda?

 

thanks ah pek..i just got a daytona rear sprocket- for the front one, my mech told me that it is still in very good condition and i shoudl just reserve my extra front sprocket.

 

may i ask how much is the flair that they place to cover just below the tank- the one that transforms the s4 into a sports bike look alike? how about the tank wrap- how much is it, sir?

 

thanks and more power!

"Flair"?...you mean those dirt bike shroud like from KTM and Honda XR stuff? How much $s I dunno but they look stupid to me. I heard from ppl that uses them found it making the engine kinda hot too while they ride. I personally don't like them and find its a waste of $s as these stuff does not add performance or do good maintenanace to your bike..moreover, it make access to work on your bike difficult. Anyway, it's up to individual but I personally find ppl wasting $$$s on such things on a true naked bike..should go get a "RVF" or baby blade instead.

 

As for the tank wrap..tank bra you mean..I personally dislike that. The beauty of the tank paint work and it deep shine is meant to be shown, why cover it with a piece of waste $$$s PVC or 'leather' over it? I probably do that when my tank have a dent s, rusted paintwork etc..the day when I need to sell my bike. Some riders of today are just not practical but rather wanna be ;fashionable' whatever, but a tank bra is meant to protect the tank when you are using tank bags that seats on the tank.

 

My apology if I sounded blunt about what you asked..but just being honest what I think and those waste of dollars. Save ur $$$s it for good engine oil and parts that need replacement someday that contribute for bike up keeping..and also, "no_no" to hugger and belly pen...heeee...x3!Sorry again, you asked the wrong guy.

[JGoh]

Hi ah pek and guys, whenever i start my bike after a few hours of parking, my bike will start but the engine will cease.. i have to throttle to keep the engine running. Any advice? is it the spark plug? recently i just changed mine.
