william ar??is there any thread on super 4 batteries??i think cannot find....

[Ah Pek]

Hey guys.. Theres a tick tick tick sound from my block after i ride my bike for sum time, was told by a friend its the shims that needs to be adjusted and that sound will go away. how true is it just to double check? and will there be any side effect if i never get it done a.s.a.p?

 

This question been asked at least a hundred time thru out SBF. Ur friend is right as to where the sound is coming from but no adjustment needed. Treat it as a normal thing..no side effect..will go away after sometime like a week or so.

Not that I know off but what do you need to know about them. Not for S4 only..batteries are all the same for all bike type.

ok 1 question....that time i got the batt from u pour in batt water can use liao , but i change from shop they got charge then use.

i cant really quite remember what you told me the other time.wats the diff from the shop n the time we change 1

I'm trying to answer as much as I try to understand your question.

 

1) When you have a new battery and the 'water' (to you) that I put in from the packed cartridges..that is not water..its "electrolyte". Here is a snipped of an explaination of what electrolyte is..

 

"When electrodes are placed in an electrolyte and a voltage is applied, the electrolyte will conduct electricity. Lone electrons normally cannot pass through the electrolyte; instead, a chemical reaction occurs at the cathode consuming electrons from the anode, and another reaction occurs at the anode producing electrons to be taken up by the cathode. As a result, a negative charge cloud develops in the electrolyte around the cathode, and a positive charge develops around the anode. The ions in the electrolyte move to neutralize these charges so that the reactions can continue and the electrons can keep flowing."

 

2) What the shop puts in is just battery distilled water. It does not contain what electrolye is a solutions of acids and a substance containing free ions that make the substance electrically conductive. So for his..the battery has to be be "electrically charge". Also if the charging rate set is no done properly..your battery can be screwed due to too high current rating. 9AH means 9 amperes (unit measurement for current) in one hour. If your battery CCA is 90 amps..you need 10 hrs for a complete charge. Those $75 battery most shop carry is 90 AMPs only.

 

Also..sometime mototiam just pour water..battery still can charge but it won't hold..in short, they just have their finger crossed hoping your battery last as long.

woot .....understood! thanks bro!!!

prepeare to buang my old 1 away....no wunder my voltmeter is reading wierd.below 12 liaowhile idling.just hope my magneto coil is good lor...if not double whammy liao (slap forehead) really damn tight 4 lui man

hey guys,

 

this morning when i started my bike, there is some loose metal sound coming from the right side of the engine area. when i rev, the sound got softer. so i just rode after after the bike is warm up abit. the sound is gone when i rode. now a little worry as to why is there loose metal sound coming from the engine area?

but my lose metal sound never go away leh?? meaning got problem uh?? blur siaxx

[ayie125z]

recently just discovered this part of my block is leaking got oil coming out frm the circled area. the mechanic said need to change the o-ring which would cost around 100 plus.. any one encountered similar problem b4?

[metzler150]

William remember that time i told u i need to replace my brake pump?

U told me the price but i forget la.

How much is it if done at ur friend workshop? Ah Fook right?

These days hardly do that lah..so many thinks to do and so little time..LOL! If there is..week days morning part should be okay..around 9am to 11 am. Saturday morning after 9.30am should be alright.

As u had not describe the sound like "ticking"..it has to be something else then. The one Smoothie mentioned is normal.

You have to call Ah Fook to find out. The price I mentioned was for the pump kit..about $30+ I think..exclude..installation.

sorry for the noob qsn, but i wanna ask ar. for the front fork, is rebuilding the fork and adding oil or smth as good as getting a new front fork altogether? kinda confused between rebuilding the fork and getting a new one.

Errr..what do you meant by "rebuilding"?...servicing got lah..but never heard of rebuilding. What is wrong wif ur fork set?

anyone hav?

Yes...nothing that uncommon. Since you know the problem...why not go around a few more shop and see if u can get a cheaper deal.

yeah pek but b4 this its not leaking but eversince that time i had a top overhaul at this particular shop then my block starts leaking... guess they didn do a proper job....

If this overhaul job was done not too long ago..try going back to them to have it rectified at no charge of course. U right that its a 'bad' job and likely the rubber seal ring is not sitting properly at certain juncture when the top cover is seated back. $100 is a lot of Hor_Funn and Char_Kway_Teow mannn..and many cups of Ko_pee_Orh!
