yes yes most iimportant to ride slowly for few minutes to let the engine oil lubricate the parts first.

 

Failure to warm up engine will actually shorten the lifespan of timing chain and others. This is also heard from someone. Not too sure also. Timing chain is use to clock the timing with valve and piston, If happen that this chain snap then you have to see whether your piston and valve got damage. Last time my brother car timing belt set wrongly the valve snap and need to replace. Yet the motorcar shop refuse to admit their fault.

how cum my bike got this ticking sound coming from the left side even when stationary??

[HondaSuperFourHSF]

actually this question is ask many many times. That because of the clutch plate.. This is what alot of people say. In order to have the sound disappear faster usually i will make the bike upright for warm up

[HondaSuperFourHSF]

oic oic this is the symptom of need to change engine oil.

Best is to change now as is not expensive.

changed castrol r4 at ASP toh guan as its more convenient.

the oil change did help.

 

loosening the clutch cable did help too. later adjust abit more until comfy.
