Yeah. Learn it the hard way.

We meet once at pureice's place to wash phantom(my previous bike)

[Rider Saje]

You have to be more specific than that..EXACLTY leaking from where? If have to change radiator..its less than half of what the shop qouted u.

 

Hey, Thanks William for solving my coolant leak problem! In case u have forgotten, I'm the one riding the red Ver S =)

This is what I learnt from Ah Fook Motors at AMK industrial.. Once you start ur bike, adjust ur idling to 3K RPM and let it run.. The engine will heat up very fast.. When it is very hot, if the fan is working it will automatically switch on.. You can try this method if you want.. But I guess there are other methods though.. Wait for William aka Ah Pek, the GURU, to reply.. hehe

Yah Saje right..there is another method which is straight forward and no need to waste petrol. What u need to do is ground the radiator fan switch (the one sticking out on your left side of the radiator with a wire). To ground it..just take a long wire and connect it together with the wire connector on the radiator fan switch by pulling out the wire connector and joining the long wire to it. Now..just turn "on" your bike (no need to start engine) and touch the other end of the long wire to any part of the bike that is ground like the fork etc..voila!..your fan should run.

Ah pek,

Just now when i wanna start my bike, no cranking sound.

Only tiack tiack sound of the relay.

What's wrong arh?

Yes..could be starter carbon brush problem or battery. Yes..that's the way to check battery.

[Tycoon]

What is the starter carbon brush for?

How much will it cost if i wanna to replace it?

Now still raining cant check my bike...

[dumbnut]

Gd evening gentlemen, been an active lurker in here

 

 

Anyway, anyone can estimate the cost to repair my now stricken bike?

Details are as follows (might wanna take out some popcorn for this :

I was happily cruising along at 120 km/h when out of nowhere, the bike lost power, then it went "pssh". Rear wheel locked up, did an impromptu "gelek" for i'd say 200m and came to a relatively smokey stop (quite dramatic eh?)

 

Anyway, upon closer inspection, Lo and behold, Hole in the lower engine casing!

Can see the conrod dangling there eh? Pardon the blurry image.

 

So anyway, managed to flag down a passing low loader and up the bike goes...

He's a very nice gentleman, Mr Kalai. Should you want his contact details, do give me a PM

 

Cost me rm570 + RM30 for tol to tow the bike from km 174.5 to my place here in Ampang, KL.

 

Anyway, upon arrival, peeled of that dangling conrod for a closer visual inspection...

Yeap, definitely broken. As for how this incident happened in the first place, it befuddles me too! Ah well, what's done is done.

 

 

So anyway, I wonder if anyone has a rough idea on how much the impending cost will be. Most probably i'll get a local shop here in KL to do the overhaul. Need a rough gauge so to speak as well honestly, if the overhaul will cost half the value of the bike when i bought it 3 years ago, kind of not cost effective eh?

 

Thanks for reading. Do hope for replies soon!

Hello Bros! Anyone one of you know where to get cheap mainstand for my version S? Cheap?

i have looked high and low for this without success...let me know if you find one.

Okay.. I wanted to buy the easy stand from the PMO thread but the TS said ver S cannot be used.. Want to use the stand primarily to lubricate my chains.. Not willing to install the ezyoiler as I feel it doesn't goes well with my design.. Scottoiler to ex.. Manual lubrication still the best for me.

[VOODOO_DOLL]

Ah pek,

 

My bike mileage coming to 90000km. So far i only did normal servicing(like change EO, spark plug, coolant). I saw this "Top Service Packages for:

Honda CB400"

 

this packages includes:

- Replacement of timing chain

- Replacement of tensioner

- Replacement of tensioner chain guide A

- Replacement of tensioner chain guide B

- Replacement of block gasket

- Replacement of head gasket

- Replacement of all 16 valve seals

- Service all 8 inlet valves

- Service all 8 exhaust valves

- Replacement of all 16 shims

- Balancing of all shims

- Lubricate/ adjust drive chain

- Check cam cover oring + 8 x head mountings

and more....

 

question is do i need to invest my bike for this type of servicing?

(current my bike is specII and 8years old with mileage coming to 90000km)

Pls advise. Thanks.

Yes..manual oiling is the best. afterall..it is only to keep the chain oily to protect from oxygen and water so it won't rust for "O" and "X" ring...save $s.

1st question to ask yourself

 

Is your bike having any problem?

 

my spec II same age and mileage as you . Got no problem and running fine, only sound from shim and clutch plate. That 2 thing very common for cb400 .
