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

[Ah Pek]

hi guys,

 

wana clarify smth here. is doing valve clearance requires opening up the top block?was talking to my friend and they all speak of doing valve clearance like some common thing like that... its like as if they going to change tire like that lo... so wanna check out with you guys.

 

It does but why do you need to or want to do valve clearance in the first place. S4 no need to do valve clearance as the term itself describe unless your "shims" gone bad. There is no "clearance" except those set by the shims in the "Cam Follower" of the S4. You have to understand what is before hear say and do what for nothing and waste $$$$s. Google a bit and read about what is "Shims" and "Cam Follower" relating to "Overhead Cam" engine and get a better understanding...can save u $$$$s.

cos my bike has this ticking sound ma..even after the engine is warm up also have. so ah fook say the shim gone. then was talking to my friend about it and he told me he had his valve clearance done which means also replace shim at below 200.

Very Old = subjective ... to me 20 yrs old bike is considered old. Maybe your friend thinks that even 3 yrs old bike is old ... To simply classify a bike model as problematic is incorrect. No bikes are perfect, and will always have their little problems here and there. You don't buy Version S because of your friend, right? If you do, then should have ask your friend 1st before you buy ... no malice intended!

[richard125]

Hey thanks for all the reply I appreciate it thanks you

[cheongsteron]

i'm riding a verS...well...i love my ride...maintenance of a bike is part and parcel of every riders duty if they care for their bike...keeping in good condition is every riders responsibility...

[Huatster888]

still luv my s4........i take care of him , he take care of me........works both way

just go mend a puncture today .....small nail....damn......no wunder the rear tyre always feel soft

[Ah Pek]

so 150 is better?

 

No...140 is the BEST!

B4 a bike rolls off a factory...it has always been tested to its best for sales to the world. after that, how it is used or being abused..we never know till we got either. I short..if a good bike is not well maintain as it should...problem/problems are expected. Ur friend say "problematic" without reference..have to asked him again like what? Even in human if a smart brain...who don't have problem/problems....LOL!

[Ah Pek]

Dun believe wat ur fren says.. Some people buy 2nd hand spec 3 aso have more problems than pple whu buy a pb1

Slept too early...LOL Anyway..don't rush into buying. Go to Autobag at Bukit Batok and choose the design, layout and number of slots u want. Find the smallest that can fit and looks nice. The evry 1st thing you should do is study where you want to install on ur bike before buying. Get the size and space and a convient location on the fairing panel that's most applicable. Don't worry about wire length..can always extend and do need reruns.

 

Installation...don't be a penny wise foolish thingy...cheap does not mean good. After installation, you may regret the way and qaulity that is done. You want I can do for you but qulaity work comes with a price of course.

 

Now..go study the space you have that can be installed and practically applicable. Measure the space..get the dimension roughly go to Autobag. The choice is many..am sure one would be suitable. Then call me if you want or go to rush hours mototiam and hope the job is good ;0)

Power la Ah Pek. I also don't really know where to install the socket. The most practical I seen is to remove the clock which is the right hand side fairing and install the socket. But still I find the clock very useful when riding. Most likely just get the right size like what u mentioned. And after that just head down to the mechanic and ask his opinions.

 

How Ah Pek, you still got stock for the Valve cleaner and green oil?

Cash flow very tight these days lah..cannot afford to buy a lot and keep for u guys..confirmed then tell me and on my way when buying for my personal usage then I get for you all...unless I go CMO and start selling stuff like this. Got ppl write to moderator say I sell...faint!..faint!

 

I'm sure there is space for mounting..why remove original installation stuff like your clock? If I were you I do a proper one with a "on/off swich and let it supply the GPS all the time..after all, you only use GPS when you need. Did on other bikes b4.

Hi all, some questions for everyone. I am riding a verS by the way.

 

1) read in an earlier post that bike has got no power when moving off. I do get that as well, but only when I've been riding for a while and the engine is hot. traffic light always loose out to the malaysian bikes. Is the tuning off or need to wash the cab?

 

2) while travelling, and I need sudden power, open throttle but the power doesn;t get there. feel like i'm drowning my cab with petrol. but when I close throttle a little, can feel the acceleration comes in. same thing, dunno if is becase the cab needs tuning.

 

3) do you guys smell petrol after you turn off the engine? Cos I do.

 

Any advise? Thanks!!! =)

Hi Kano,

Can be anything from bad clutching, carb's air intake or carbs inlet to engine block ucpling rubber or the carbs itself.

 

2) while travelling, and I need sudden power, open throttle but the power doesn;t get there. feel like i'm drowning my cab with petrol. but when I close throttle a little, can feel the acceleration comes in. same thing, dunno if is becase the cab needs tuning.

 

Could be a case of blockedair or jetting in carbs due to carbon build up in the inlet and outlet engine block valves.

 

3) do you guys smell petrol after you turn off the engine? Cos I do.

 

Same answer as in No. 2 question..in addition, also carbs to engine blocks rubber coupling cracked liao unless the rubber coupling is new or recently changed..ciould be loose locking ring clips.
