sorry a newbie here with a noob qn,

does the two needle turn on the meters when we on the ignition like the vtecs?

if yes mine seems not to be working. juz got the bike 2 days ago

 

thanx in advance

 

Next time be more specific about what meter for what bike otherwise its hard for members here trying to help answer...but since u posted here..I assumed u are riding a non Vtec and base on your signature. To answer your question..the answer is "no"..it don't sweep like the vtec ones.

Btw, I did my Top Overhaul this year March, changed my gaskets, my coolant hose, coolant pump. I'm using Ah pek's EO and coolant with sealant which I also change in March. But however, recently I feel that my bike is hotter, even 10mins of riding fan can turn on. I regularly top up my coolant with the extra coolant given by William. Could it be there is limited flow of coolant from my reserve to the main coolant tank? I'm not using a thermostat as suggested by Ah Fook. Could it be that issue too? And yesterday, my eo started to leak from the Top gaskets due to overheating. @Ah Pek, help me leehhh.

Yoi bro!..if u can..get a new thermostat and have it installed. There is a reason why the Japanese have a thermostat for S4..if they felt it was unnecessary..they would have save billions..and all bikes don't need it. The thermostat helps to regulate (control) the flow of hot coolant according to high temperature as the bikes operates..so that hot cookant would not get any hotter due to the gushing of hot coolant passed down the radiator cooling water channel. Simply put...ur hot coolant is rushing down too fast the radiator cooling area before it gets cool by the flowing head on wind while you ride. Removable of thermostat is only good when you do track as u want the temperature to accumulatively heat up fast. All engine run best at 98 degree Celsius..boiling point is 100 and overheating is 112 degree.

 

Hope ur radiator fan switch is standard Honda's. Some ppl fit lower temperature units one like those from Suzuki..cuts ur fan on at about 85 degree instead of 102 degree from Honda. Have a good and safe trip bro :0)

Sharing of experience: If you feel that your bike is extremely hot, check your engine oil level first. Followed by your coolant. Yesterday, I found out that my engine oil level is very low (cannot even see on the dipstick).

So good ah . Version s comes with a dip stick with the oil filler cap. Wonder if I can buy one and use for my own bike

 

Doesn't work that way bro...check with ur inspecting gearbox glass window.

Have to be rplaced for sure. Cost about $125 the very most. I think all Vtec unit are similar except for non Vtec. Can try go Ah Fook at Blk 5032 #295 AMK Ave 3 AMK Industrial Park 2. Let him know I recommended u..bargain a bit less if you can. Check other mototiam for pricing oso before commiting.

Hi guys, i hv a 98 ver s. it accelerates smoothly until around 6.5 - 7k rpm where there's a noticeable flat spot. Is this normal? Tks.

 

Can u elaborate more?...after 6.5-7k rpm...what happen and how long is the delay as with this "flat spot"?

It will still pull beyond 7k rpm, but it feels like changing up one gear, or the bike feels "heavier." the torque before 7k and after 7k doesn't feel seamless, like there's a dip in the torque curve!! btw, only got the bike bout 6 mths ago. Just wondering if this is normal characteristic of the engine, or some wear and tear in carb due to age. Tks. R

hi bro, i notice that when i go reach 90 to 100 speed , my bike product some sound. wanted ask is it normal? it sound like a E sound. (eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

honda sp>honda phantom> honda cb400>yamaha R15 > i want a honda CBR!!!

when i ride big bike, i feel like riding a small bike, when i ride small bike, i feel like riding a big bike OMG how...

Take off your air filter and ride for a day or two without it..see if it still have the 'flat spot' problem...then let me know.

What about 100-140 km/hr?
