Look like a carbs tuning is needed.

[Guest bomerman81]

try checking ur airfilter n mayb ur cabs need some setting....

[FZ06]

do u guys experience this...whenever u wana start ur s4 after a long ride lets say for 30mins,the engine cannot start with only a press on the starter??must pull the throttle a bit then can start...is it a sign of idling too low...or plug condemn liao or wat....or is it juz normal??

[chrispy]

yup.

[kel81]

i think something to do with the temp of the bike tat cause this.. cos usually when my bike is cold, can start without throttle. only when hot engine must throttle a bit to start.. and i think shd b normal.. riding my 2nd vtec1. both got this "prob". dun think its a prob ba..

[Wayang]

though i dun ride a super4 but i have the same experience.. in the mornin when i cold start my bike.. one push of the starter the engine wil start runnin.. but after a short trip.. rest let say 5 min.. wanna start again.. need to turn abit of throttle..

[Fabian_79]

is normal

[Guest bomerman81]

normal... my bike oso like that...

[barkayoroo]

how do i adjust the idling speed of S4???

 

i can't seem to find any adjust knob for this...

[Guest enHANZed]

look for the yellow knob...quite deep in though ...advise u to do when engine is cooled

[barkayoroo]

the knob is below ur carprator my specII is black colour. I think clockwise is have higher iding, and other ways is less. Ur hand must go right in then can ajust so wait till engine cool then adjust is better. If not morning then doing when starting.

Hi,

 

wat is the problem with my bike?

[kel81]

mayb ur tappet loose. but not a big prob.. as long as u r not too bothered by the sound. ride down to let ur mechanic check for u.

[Turbo08]

i too encounter tis problem... mechanic say maybe timing chain loose already but i try using some additives(similar to stp octane booster) & the sound gone le dunnoe izzit a coincidence now in a dilemma whether to change the timing chain because not confirm the chain's fault.

[Guest bomerman81]

if during ilding itz ok for ur timing chain to tick but when u r moving still got the ticking den have to check it out liaoz....

tuning ur idling speed have to b done when ur engine is warmed up best is after u have ride the bike for some dist liaoz....

 

like that then u can accurately set the idling that u wan.....

[zee]

be prepared to suffer burns. hahaha

[FZ06]

so wic condition better?? adjust when engine cool like after overnight or after ride a short distance when the engine has warmed up?? my idling also like quite low after ride a distance only adle at abt 1k rpm...
