Have to be more specific as to what you meant be "Changing"..which part of the assembly of the front fork?

 

As for Odometer replacement..most ppl find second hand parts...may be you should do that as prices varies from seller. Doubt anyone can give you an answer. For new module, can check with advertiser here like FJT, Chong Aik...etc..for prices.

That's the fork seal dust cover if its rusted. It can scratch and nick your stanchion tube (upper section of fork - slider) if not taken care off. Go for a full servcing..and have both seal and cover kit replace, washed and refilled with new oil...$90 at Ah Fook.

That's a master pump kit. Hope you gotten the ride one for your type version S4. Never done it before muself but make sure the sequence is correct. Have lots of water with a cloth around as you a messing with hydrualicfuild...oso need hydraulic fluid.

 

Should not be too hard to do. Bike shop does it at $45 including spare parts.

ahpek, have u heard about the hard-break-in vs the soft(normal)-break-in of new bikes?

wat do u think of it?

 

ppl said the hard method saves time, added 1-3hp.. but the bike will have problem for long-term.

the soft mehod takes time, n wun spoil easily in long term compared to the hard-break-in.

 

read everywhere still duno which is better for new bikes.

wats ur opinion?

Huh!?...who are this ppl..all Bike Breaker" expert arh? There is no such think as hard or soft lah. I have been riding so many new bikes all my life and dunno got soft or hard. Ok..talk kock no use..let me get to the point.

 

Most new bikes on the market are to some extent already broke in..what we call mildly seasoned. A good break in is what we call a "slow hone"..or honing the bike with recommended speed or rpk as instructed by the manufacturer.

 

If you really want it be done fast and over with and yet with a slow honing...take a trip or trips that covers the breaking in distance withinn the breaking in speed or rpm range. This non stop riding in continous engine honing on long distance is the best yet you can enjoy the trip.

 

The idea is to keep the engine running (no stop if possible and off engine situation) while the piston rings hones the cyclinder wall good and proper with gentle approach..that's what honeing is all about. Need not worry about the eo change even if you exceeded the mileage recommended change..the oil from the manufacturer is VERY SPECIAL...and there are grace allowance should you exceed the eo change in mileage or interval as recommended. Yes..the eo has special protection properties..its not your everyday M_300v or M_Formula 1 top grade oil..its better than that..maybe X-1R inside...LOL!

If that is the case with the nut like what the mech says..a new bolt drain nut won't help. Come and I see what I can do..properly will do a threading rubber seal tape for the bolt threads. This problem is common when the drain nut is non standard especially those magnetic one...after a numberous oil change..somehow..it damage the oil sump threding as its course and thread spacing is different.

Hey..

 

no lah.. its actually a good sign.. the temp light shoulde'nt be on when you start your engine, it will light up only when it reaches boiling point maybe around 105 degrees and your engine tend to overheat i think.. why worry.. u can ask AhPek for clarification..

[Tanaka]

Ah pek I'm sorry its CNY eve and I've rob your time 3hours OMG! Ah pek I think I'm the old one keep forgetting the days.

 

Ah pek :thumb:up for your grounding! Superb bro!

Kwang, Kwang, Kwang.......Haiz..... I've kena chop by a famous bike shop. Even Ah pek shake his head when he saw the grounding works on my bike done by the mechanic of the well know bike shop in Singapore. The BIG u know who.

 

A question was thrown at me by Ah pek, it goes like this "you got feel any different after the mechanic fix the grounding?" And I gave Ah pek a 50-50 answer.... "ermmmm..... maybe?" I thought there's a different cos my brain tells me I've got grounding done by professional and Ah pek goes..... laughing to my answer and tell me after this no maybe, you will feel the different.

 

Then the magic word & most exciting moment came " Go for a spin & feel the different"

The moment I sit on my version S, the bike feel smooth during idling. I took my baby for a test ride, push her to her red rev lines, Phiewwww.....! so shiok! fast respond, less engine brake.

 

I'll be back for phase 2 EPS.....
