[Group] Super Four Bol'dor Riders

[tt6389]

any S4 or boldors changed their coolant recently? I did & was told after few days , the reservoir level will drop & must top up. Mechanic says its normal. So I am inspecting reservoir level every 2 days.

 

Any one experienced this?

[Ones_Co]

I had check my coolant level yesterday.

 

It is about the same level as per last sat

 

when i charge the coolant to maxima

 

and the temp of my bike went up after that ...

 

both cruising and stopping at traffic light

 

and it is the same till today

 

which is 4 days from the change

Mine also 5 degree hotter than normal during cruising. I know coz I have temp gauge unlike most S4 bikers. But what bothers me most is my S4 coolant capacity is 2.2liter (according to manual) , but I only top up 1.89liter of maxima coolaide pre-mixed - and my reservoir is still almost full ; even after 1 day of riding.

Port Dickson & Malacca Day Trip On 3rd March 2007

 

 

Meet GP Esso at 8am & depart 8.30am

 

Travel Plan

We'll be going to Port Dickson exiting NS Highway via Seremban exit. The exact distance is 289 km between GP Esso & PD. I believe we should reach Port Dickson Town within 2.5+ hrs with average speed of 140 - 160km/hr .

 

After reaching the town, we'll ride slowly along the beaches & coastal roads towards malacca town which is 86km southward. We'll also stop by at any 5 star beach resorts for see see & coffee & pic taking etc. When reaching Malacca town , we'll roam the town for sightseeing & also try the Chicken rice there & other famous food. There'll be lots of pic taking in Port Dickson & Malacca attractions too. We have 5-6 hours to do all these between Port Dickson & Malacca.

 

By 6pm, we would have eaten our dinner & depart from Malacca Town towards GP Esso. The distance is 217 km as shown on my GPS. Time taken should be 1.5 hr to return.

 

Total distance covered will be 592 km to & fro. Make sure you have enuff sleep the previous nite before going.

 

Those interested can put their names here below. Entries will be closed on friday 9pm. At 10pm, there'll be a posting reminder here of the usual touring stuff & do's & don'ts probably.

u got join any R1 threads in SBF & ask them about this?

 

no i did not ask them there.....

 

they will only say R1 is hot...

 

but i don think so.... cause i try it myself

 

travel at 50km/h my temp is about 93 - 98 deg C.

 

and it is about the same as ur super 4... (refer to tim super 4 temp meter)

 

so u think R1 is hotter than super 4 ??

 

wat i think is because of the frame for R1 that conduct the heat to our leg

 

unlike super 4 which do not have the big frame near our leg

 

which is the reason why i feel the R1 is hotter than my old super 4

 

but infact it is about the same temp....

 

and luckly thing is that u have the temp meter to show me ur bike temp....

 

 

 

 

i ask dealer....

 

he say it is normal so i also don know wat to say...

 

he say for performance coolant heat up faster....

[ANR Impex]

Hi Lawrence, I replied you in detail in the PM. To summarise, you are just not getting enough speed riding in SGP. The coolant conducts heat, but you still need the wind through the radiator at sufficient speed to cool it down.

 

An example is 2 cups filled with hot water (represent engine heat), one is styrofoam (represent normal coolant) and the other is metal (represent Cool Aide). The metal cup heats up very quicky and give the impression that everything is very hot. But with time, you will see that the contents in the metal cup cools much faster, especially with wind blowing across the cups. While the styrofoam cup feels cool at first, it will gradually heat up and the worse is that it will retain heat in the water. Now to the human, the metal cup will feel so hot that it cannot be held in hand while the foam cup feels OK. But you know deceptive that really is as the foam cup water is much hotter in comparison as time pass despite how cool the cup feels!

 

I see you guys are going on a malaysia ride this sat. Why don't you take the bike up to 130kmh on the NSHW and maintain for 5 min, then you come and tell me is the temp cooler than ever before. 130kmh and above and the cooling capacity of the wind starts to exceed the heat output of the engine. You will start to see temperature dropping.

After reaching the town, we'll ride slowly along the beaches & coastal roads towards malacca town which is 86km southward. We'll also stop by at any 5 star beach resorts for see see & coffee & pic taking etc. When reaching Malacca town , we'll roam the town for sightseeing & also try the Chicken rice there & other famous food. There'll be lots of pic taking in Port Dickson & Malacca attractions too. We have 5-6 hours to do all these between Port Dickson & Malacca.

Total distance covered will be 592 km to & fro.

what shld my tire pressure be at before embarking on the malacca trip?

 

I think i never pump my tire for quite some time already... recent being a few months ago... so it shld be just nice rite? i mean the tire will expand due to prolonged riding... hehehe...

better check yr tire pressure every week or 2. Coz the pressure will lose naturally - then there will be uneven wear on the tire. It happened to my first pair b4. I think the sticker on yr swing arm say 225kpa for front & 250kpa for rear tire - without pillion.

 

Also, too little pressure can result in tire tearing during heavy e-braking.
