Can teach... No prob. Less than 5 mins can remove tank liao...

[heskeydal]

but for ebay stuff.... sometimes it is not original... now even there is fake contact lense... so dangerous..

[World Misanthropy]

That is why i always see their feedback score they have before purchasing an item. An eBay seller with "Power Seller" icon is what you wanna look out for.

 

I would say most of my aftermarket accessories are bought from eBay.

if i remeber correctly,i did remove the foam last time,if not the filter will not be able to sit into the slot hole firmly.

Anyone knows how to fix LED lights? I bought S4 from my friend recently then go to HKL for servicing. Only after servicing my friend told me he got fix LED lights under the tank and rear mudguard.

 

I remember the mechanic ask me if I got LED lights I said I wasn't sure then he mentioned maybe the LED light not working so he didn't connect it back. The wires now slotted to the left side of the tank.

 

Got two wires. There is also a switch. If anyone can guide me, I don't mind DIY

I see.. I just got my first s4 so not sure which air filter it's using. Which areas will air filter affect bike performance? FC, throttle response?

 

Anyway how much K&N filter costs?

 

yes aftermarket filter offer better air flow, but I read an article before. Additional air flow can create unnecessary turbulence in the system. It might enhance performance in top end but hinder ur low n mid range performance.

Evening guys. Any one know where I can get bulbs for my signal light? My bike came with the Barracuda Viper Signal Lights. One of my bulbs have blown out. I went to a bike shop and he changed it to a normal bulb. The light works but the wattage is different so it blinks faster. I just want to know where to find bulbs for bikes. I can remove the original working one and get the same wattage one. Thanks
