Have a query regarding brake lines. Read the Hel brake lines threads and concluded it offers more "feel" and "bite" to the braking, etc, more responsive etc. My query is whether Hel brake lines does offer more stopping power as compared to stock brake lines. If two riders, one without and one with Hel brake lines or other steel braided brake line, both brake at the same time, will the one with stock brake lines stop less effectively then the one with modded brake lines? Assuming they both using the same brake pads, brake disc condition and road surface and reaction time.

 

Lastly, my vtech 1 is 7 years old, is it necessary to change the lines? I'm pretty satisfied with them and dun feel in need of more stopping power. Surely, there are version S around which are more than 10 years old and have never changed brake lines right? Or is 7 years old bike about time for a change of brake lines?

 

Riders who tried both brake lines care to comment?

brake hose (line) is not necessary to replace as if you can not find any damage. You can check below step:

1/ Check the leakage of all adapters

2/ Check the quality of material of hose. No cracks, no hard, flexible

If it is good condition, still keep it for using. Genuine part is always better than other

Changing gears at 4krpm is ok and it is the norm for majority of S4 riders. You are able to get slightly better mileage as compare to changing gears at 5-6krpm.

Light clicking sound is normal when engine is cold but it must disappear when hot...Its just that your valve clearence is tiny weeny bit off..

 

When the sound become more obvious even after riding for more than 10 mins then its time to do clearance.The effect is your intake valve will open up late and exhaust valve will close too early. Worst case the clearance is sooo off that it causes your piston to hit one of the valve causing the valve stem to bend(Very2 chialat).

 

How the mech. adjust the clearance(S4 engines),i'm not sure if he use spacers or just adjusting the tappet using slot screwdriver and locknut. If anyone here have pics of their cylinder head cover removed,dunt mind posting the pic here?..
