Hi, i just got a spec 3 s4 recently. wanna ask a few qns, hopeful for help.

 

1) i ride as usual, then when i go home to park, i realise my engine got this loud 'ching ching' sound. its louder on the left side. why? is it normal? if i stand in a distance, i will hear that sound, louder than my standard pipe.

 

2) when i turn off my engine, but leave the key on, got this fan sound at my engine for a few secs. whats that?

 

3) when im riding my bike, about 100km/h, my bike got vibration, can feel at footrest, but once about 110 then the vibration stop. Also can hear ching ching sound abit at times. hmm

 

i hope u guys can help. heard s4 users in this forum so helpful. thx~

(1) It must be ur chain..Super 4 usually hae this chain sound coming from ur chain n sprockets...just frequent lube ur chain can already.

 

(2) This vibrating thingy is normal...

 

(3) Thats the fan working...cooling down ur engine.. it means its doing its job well..

 

Hope this will help.

the fork, brake calipers and disc of Version S cannot fit on Vtec1 unless you change the rims too..

[Starfizz1401]

well thx firdaus..

[allen_kia]

so if i change the fork rim brake callipers and disc of a version s to vtec 1 it will be possible??...confirm plus chop?

[biting_point]

[A1] your timing chain maybe worn off.. best to go to bikeshop and seek advice..

 

[A2] it's normal for the vibration. RPM should be at 6K if i'm not wrong..

 

[A3] it's normal, your coolent temp had reached over 110 degrees.. fan will off if you turn off, else will automatically of after a while..

Hi botakid,

You hv to make ur own calculation, unless ur current bike instalment is low or nil, it will be tough to manage with the NS allowance.
