Last problem, is my starter, the bike cannot be start everytime i press the starter button for the first time, its as if the wiring got problem. and everytime i press the button to start, the lights will dim, as if fuse has blown. but once i press for 5 or 6 times, the bike will roar to life v beautifully.

this one confirm carbon brush, happen to me not awhile ago..service and change carbon brush bout !00 bucks, no more problem, or wat u can do is use a mallet or screwdriver knock on ur stater motor it helps. wat mr william said bout the reverse thingy was true tried it b4..

I see. Mine cranked. but just did not start the engine. I keep pressing until scared battery run out. Or worse dunno will damage the starter or not.

 

Ah Pek: keep pressing the start button will damage the starter?

No..it will flatten ur battery. There is either no fuel getting into ur chamber..too much or spark plugs no good. Try using choke..if can't, take off ur air filter and try cranking again.

 

Its a case of either too much fuel drowning ur spark plug or no fuel due to insufficient air due to bad air filter.

its on the right side near the sprocket cover, where the water pump is located too.. not too often but if u are wearing nice clothes and out with ur girlfren and have to push start ur bike then it will be problem , so its best to do it.. it can be quite frustrating too.. n if u start knocking the starter carbon ppl will giv u the wtf look..hahaha

Ah Pek: Then like that, is it still carbon brush issue? Now I'm confused.

What "pump kit"?..are u talking about the brake pump kit or what? If it is..use for pumping lah..u squeeze the lever..it pump the fluid lor.

No..unlikely base on discussion with reference to poster problem desription.

Vibration will loosen and displace the carbon powder and give u better contact.

yup i referrin to the brake pump kit okok. ahpek, one more question, super 4 front brake fluid box advised us to use only DOT4 fluid, but i went to several mechanic, they all told me aiya, DOT3 also can la and i ask them to remove my remaining fluid from the box before i change my brake fluid, they insist dont need and told me DOT 3 and DOT 4 can be mixed one. their boilin point are different though, but any idea will that affect the brakin effect?

Both DOT standard can lah but I prefer DOT 3 but don't mix. If u wanna change..remove all..bleed the bottom and for faster service work..use a siringe to suck up all the old residue contaminats from the top hydraulic fluid reservoir (not a box).

I'm currently searching for a bike or paintwork shop for mt Super Four Version S. And I heard some has a paintwork package for version S, which includes changing the tail to Spec 3's tail.

 

Anyone know of any shops that provide such customisation service and/or paintwork, do reply me.

 

Do quote the prices too.

I used to ride a CBR 400 many years ago. The end can has a big dent after Kenna knock by taxi. Send for "wrapping" with a layer of aluminum around it through the bike shop that sold me the bike. Came back like chrome (original was matt silver if i remembered correctly). I paid less than $100 for it. That was in 1998 though.
