Hi RVFians.. I juz bought my new RVF.. love the V4.. But have a problem..

 

Every morning start bike OR park halfday liao start bike.. Will start.. But engine will

 

sound "uneven" & weak and then die off... Need to maintain throttle for RPM at 1.5 or 2k for a while

 

den it wont die..

 

 

Anyone know how to rectify this problem?

 

 

 

Btw, rectifier , jet kits , everything juz changed.. Its the same before and after I made those changes..

 

Anyone know how to solve this issues ? Cos I got another RVF fren he start bike no problem de.. Even park 1 nite nxt day morning start also no problem..

 

 

PS: I tried set the idling.. also same..

Tackle the simple components first. For instance:

 

1 - Airbox. Is it dirty, or restricting air?

2 - Dirty carburetor?

 

Then on to the not-so-obvious but theoretically possible ones:

 

3 - All 4 carburetor ports out of sync? (carb balancing needed)

4 - Weak battery? (a simple voltmeter can tell)

5 - Incorrect tuning (now that you've got jet kits, make sure the mech has tuned your carb airflow; usually a screw on each carb that you can turn. Same mech job as #3 above)

6 - Idle jet dirty or clogged

 

That's all I can think of right now, apart from the fact that it has been cold at nights lately. Brrr....

Airbox is okay.. Juz serviced..

Carburettor just washed not long ago..

 

The jet kit juz installed less than a month.. Mech took out the carb to install the jet also never say its dirty..

If it was fine after the rejet, then probably the pilot screws was not set properly. Turn it in all the way clockwise (finger tight), then turn it out anti-clockwise to 1 & 5/8 turns. if it does not fix the problem, replace plugs with new one. if still problem persist, then carbs need to be syncho.

hey there, my bike just started to have this leaking problem, i've done thorough check, its engine oil and the source of the leak is somewhere underneath my seat, near the fuel **** place. then i saw a fellow rvf rider yesterday and ask him, he say my cam housing or cam something needs to be changed.. what is that exactly bro's? and if i park the park the bike overnight, there will be a pool of black oil near my sidestand area..

Hi fellow RVF rider. Im new to this forus and I manage to learn bit by bit regards to this bike from all the pro in here. Currently just get one for myself and sad to say after I brought the bike, and after my mechanic do a good check and to find that the bike kana langga b4 badly. Now have to spend extra 2K++ to make it to good shape again. Lucky for me the engine is still silent and in good working condition.

 

But need to change lots of parts. The folk, press the body coz bend etc etc...Is there any meet up or any outing for the group. So that I can get more knowledge from you guys:)

Try Wing Yap Mtr, look for the doctor (Ah Lee). He'll fix the problem for you. The doctor will cure the pain

From front to the tail change to Tyga fairing kit.

Two grand for repairs?

 

Wow, hope your mechanic have justifiable reasons to be charging you that amount.

 

The last time I've changed my stanchion tubes (lower shiny part of the fork) was for around $800 a pair.

 

If taken care of periodically, the RVF can be a great day-in-day-out bike, especially for enthusiastic "rounding" sessions too. It's an outstanding trackbike too. As for the bike itself, it's a V-four, where the 'V' = pickup power.

 

Well, hope you'll enjoy your ride better with the RVF as compared to anything else.

rvf are usually hotter than other 2a bikes.. =)

juz touch the main frame n u can feel the power. haahaa...

its recommended not to top up water or pour too much into the reservoir/rad as it maybe hard for hot air to expand when the coolant is running.. thus resulting in overheated rads/ spoilt waterpumps... =)

get ur mech for a check on the rad/coolant....

 

i experienced hotter rvfs than mine.. so its ok.... =)

n i have experienced rvfs which is hard to go hot.. haahaa...

[RVF Stoner]

Wah bro really lot of stuff to replace man. Cost me ard 4K, but I got no choice buy the RVF aldy. I dun know untill my mech strip it. No choice lor now have to ride till COE K.O

Got my FS plate last yr Sept. COE ending Nov 2010. So far everything is gd. Changed some wear and tear stuffs like ;

 

1. cam gasket

2. clutch plates

3. chain / sprocket

4. coolent rubber thingy

5. chain slider

6. extra switch for the headlight / radiator fan

7. "on/off/reserve" petrol switch

8. stock air filter (selling off the K&N one)

9. 3 set brake pads

10. Dunlop a10 1 set tires

11. Right side engine cover + gasket

12. POP racing footrest back to stock ones etc etc

 

Accessories nt so much;

 

1. Micron st legal endcan

2. R1 OEM brembo master pump

3. Change bk to stock paintwork

 

from sept till date i have spent ard 2.5k , this is what I have spent on my bike , everything include all e servicing.

 

Conclusion , internal parts wear and tear you cant check , a bit of luck and the seller's honesty is important.
