[Discussion] Technical - D.I.Y On Your Super Four!

[verna142]

Hi All, does anyone know what kind of bulb is being used for the signal light indicator on the meter dash broad?

[MattX1R]

Changing your own meter light saves you a lot of money! My is a CB400 Spec 1. I think the bulbs locations are the same for all Super 4 with VTEC. Maybe someone with a non vtec can "tear" apart his/her meter too. ;D

 

I only spend USD$ 3.40 for the pair of T10 from dealextreme. Time spent is about 30min as I took my time to figure out how to remove the meter.

 

Step 1: Remove the bolts that is holding your headlight and the headlight bracket.

Step 2 & 3: Remove the bolts from both sides (Circled in Red) that are holding the headlight bracket and the meter. Then remove 3 screws for the covers behind the meter. Circled in purple.

Step 4: Put out the sockets and you will see the meter light sockets

Step 5: Replace it with your new T10 and switch on your ignition. If the new T10 doesnt like up, the polarity might be wrong. Pull out, flip it over

and insert it again. If it still doesnt light up, you have a faulty bulb(unless your light socket wiring is already faulty for some reason).

 

WALLA!

I changed it to orange(same as stock) because I like the colour. However, I wanted to save some electricity so I used LED instead of filament bulbs. It is bright enough to illuminate the whole meter

 

Have fun!

Bro, have you check your coolant level?

Hey guys, is there anyway to check whether my handlebar is off-center? It felt like it's slightly to the right when moving but i let ah chong from planet to have a look he said it's not slanted. But I just really feel like it is! Any of you guys have the same problem and if it's really slanted, what are the ways to rectify it? Uh, I tried testing it by going free-hand, the bike indeed starts moving to the right gradually.

Any help please?

hello, i am in no way an expert...but from personal experience. if you had a fall or an accident, it could be one of three things...or a combination of them

 

1) handle bar is bent -> most likely gotta replace. i think this prob is the easiest to remedy..

2) fork is bent -> make sure got no oil leaking anywhere! thats real dangerous...in which case must take out the two forks (probably the right one in your case) and knock it back...well not knock. workshops have a machine to press them back into shape.

3) steering cone. im not sure how to check for this, im sorry...but its the kind of thing that you have to replace i think...

 

sometimes mechanics cant see cos if its very minor, hard to tell when bike is stationary, but super easy to tell when moving. also the more minor the prob, thathe harder to trouble shoot i think. in my experience, i think you can tell if the fork is bent by looking at forks when bike is stationary. sit on the bike, and look below the handle bar at the forks. they shd be parallel and in line with the tank exactly...if they are bent..this will not be the case.

 

i am really q noob la. but i see no one has replied for like some five months..so i thought id try ans you... hope i have been of some help.

As far as I know, Spec 1 and 2 original signal bulb is a 1156 BA15s type.

 

 

5W should be enough.

For me I only spray chain lube on the sprockets and chain every 1 or 2 weeks.

 

Am i doing it right?

clean it with kerosene is the best

 

you are only lubing the chain, not cleaning it

[pak_tam]

Anyone have done sprockets replacement before? I would like to know how its done.

Hi ducktale, to me it blinking like ok2 leh. The problem starts when i readjust my rear plate bracket. Then suddenly no signal blinking. I higly suspect its the wiring but i heard the 'tick tick'sound at the flicker. My question is, had any of you changed it before? How much does it cost?
