You r right. Forget about the fuel gauge..just a reference warning. Since a Version S got a fuel kock switch, ride till u hit "reserve"..that's when the bike jerks a bit. Turn the switch to reserve mode after that..go and pump and u should be pumping at least 15+ Litres instead. The tank has 18Ltrs and 3 Ltrs are reserve....

 

thanks!

 

kinda agreed that better performance usually equates to higher fuel consumption. though some ppl tend to forget that.

ah pek, just wondering, how do you know when is it time to overhaul? what "signs" can we look out for? can advise?

[Rider Saje]

It's time for me to do up my carbs! Recommendations please!

What's wrong with ur carbs? Nothing wrong don't touch. No workshop service manual ever recommended to dismantle ur carbs and service unless there are components to be replace.

You only need to do so if the shim/shims (its the valve clearance totally out due to their wear and tear and it make loud takking sound consistantly) need to be replaced. This is consider a engine block head overhaul as at the same time, grinding of valves and some of its assembly may need to be changed. So are the polishing of piston's heads etc. Cost at least $500+ depending on components need to be replaced along the process.

 

The other thing that need an overhaul job is replacement of pistons and its ring, conrods or conrods bearings, timing change and tensioner slippers etc..inluding gearbox stuff. This is major overhaul and needed only when engine blocks has knocking loud sound and bike under perform. Cost at least thousands depending on parts to be replaced.

 

Other than small matter..an S4 never need an overhaul in any manner. Just take care of good mainteanance by using good eo and well maintenance of cooling system.

Umm guys or Ahpek, can help me in this prob?

 

Recently, I noticed my rear brake power getting lesser/weaker. I checked the rear brakes and found that the brake pump area is covered with rusty liquid as shown here.

I wondering if this is the cause. If so, what happened to it? And what must be done eh?

 

Another thing I noticed is that around my gear lever(on the left side) have oil liquid as shown

Why is oil dripping frm the hole?

[World Misanthropy]

I got a problem like yours too. Found out that I lube my chain too often so thats why oil is dripping...

 

As for your rear brake, try spray some WD-40. Or you just replace the metal "screw like" thing. kekeke..

[a5tute]

Ouh no wonder.. yah I oso have the habit of spraying a lot of chain lube.. So that part is solved. Now will try the wd40 method for the other 1. Thx for the input bro!

 

Btw issit oso possible that my rear brake pump faulty? If so any1 noes the price range of changing the pump?

Hi guys, i've bought a Version S a week ago. It's been giving me problems. My bike gets so hot! i've checked my coolant water, it's like boiling water. Fan's working. It feels like i'm riding Class 2 bike! Any help?

Mechanic says must change gasket, is it true?

 

2nd, when i'm cruising at 90km/hr and above, it feels like i'm hitting small rocks, even when i clutch in.

I don't thnk its the gasket..probably ur thermostat jammed or coolant wrong mixing ratio and oso possibly rust in ur cooling hose due to tap water used. It just a week ago..why not go back to them..u should have at least a month warranty coverage aginst such defects.

 

".. feels like i'm hitting small rocks"..suggest u go back to them too. I can't zero in on ur problem wif reference to ur description...best u get them to rectified the problem for free.

check whether the rear brake lever mechanism is snag/caught to anything. you could have press on the level fully but the mechanism moves half way and thus the brake works at half the power

[shahrul_azmil3]

Fuh, i hope its not my previous ver s. Always have the overheating issues. No of top overhaul under my name is three. If im not wrong, the no plate is fp5674. . . Stay away from that bike. Problem. Should also check ur water pump.

 

Actually should make a "stay away list of problem bikes".

 

- fp5674s / top block problem,overheating problem,loose meter casing.

Well the fact is, I bought my bike from I-Motoring. It looks like they're not doing their job. they said they changed the metal thingy to prevent the coolant from leaking out already.

In the end, it feels like same. I put my bike in their shop for 4 days for them to repair. When i collect my bike, it feels like it's the same. i'm not going back there to service, i rather pay to get it done den to go back countless time but the problem persist.

Got along things wrong bro!

1) Idling fluctuates (not constant.. especially early in the morning)

2) Whenever I throttle, response is late.

3) Meter needle returns late to zero after every throttle.

 

Help me.

bikeworkz boss told me ~ unless u have those build-in signal light in the tailboard , if not is ok ~ pros correct me if i'm wrong ^^ll

Could be just throttle cable problem..its very hard to fault a carb. If u have to replaced parts inside..I'm sure its not worth it..rather get a whole new carb set.
