What u all do for full servicing for Revo? Efi is very new to me sorry im dumb..... Thanks for replies.

Hi shetland, yeah i am thinking to get a S4 new one. Which shops have u checked already? I saw someone posting his Revo for sale in the used section at 11k+ dunno what is the shop going to offer me for a new one. Can check out together no prob we can exchange nos. and go around during the weekends. If i don get it this month i still can wait until next month. I have some time to slowly research and wait for deals since i still have a bike now.

is it the sound of the injectors?

if it is, its normal

 

i also encounter the same problem. I have the sound ta ta ta under the tank there. Ytd gt 1 mechanic told me that my injector might have problem. Is it true?

[catzilla]

btw is the Revo better than Spec3? Can any expert highlight the pros and cons between revo and Spec3? im still abit blur between this 2 models.

 

- How much convenience does the EFI helps in terms of servicing or is it much more tedious and expensive to maintain and service?

 

- Is Revo more expensive to replace parts compared to those previous spec models?

 

- Does the standard mods like K&N filter, voltmeter, exhaust applies to Revo? Or Revo don have those mods?

 

- I notice some old machines that ppl are selling they mentioned that they rebuilt front fork, wheel bearing, brake pumps and etc etc etc at what milage or how often do i need to replace these parts? I only know about simple things like the E.O, plugs, brake pads and sprocks/chain. Are they advised by mechanics or how do u find out they are faulty?

 

I need to know some crucial issues about Revo to decide my purchase and appreciate any help and advice. Thanks bros~

[hyssnemesis]

for air filter is still the same.. after market exhaust difference from all the previous S4, but revo have it's own list of FS/end can.

yoshi FS, yoshi end can, GPR end can and SP tai dao FS

 

for E.O and oil filter i change every 5000km and plugs hmmm my previous plugs last me about 1yr haha go take a look at sparkerS1 signature, he have really good details for revo and DRZ haha

[sadyboy]

hi guys..the auto choke is....

rpm stay at 2 or 3 for warming up..around 1 to 2 min?

then it will drop back to default setting at 1.4..

if your bike nv go up when u start your bike mean something wrong for a stock bike

u can get those non-ABS models.

yeap, injectors might need to be changed if faulty, need PC to tune but if stock exhaust, no need to worry about those.

servicing pls view my signature:cheers:

if its the same sound as mine last time, it shouldn't be a problem.

EFI, better combustion, no need tune and service.

 

replace parts its the same except for the injectors and ECU.

 

accessories wise almost the same, u can check out the different stuffs available

thanks thanks, wat about details of rxz and KR150:cheeky:

[catzilla]

Hi sparkerS1, can help me with more questions? Does the ECU and injector spoil easily? How often to replace them and how much the cost for these 2 items? I still cannot decide to get spec3 or the revo becoz 2 diff technology. Which one is technically more reliable and hassle free? Please help.....

[sad_how]

get the revo. nuff said. =))

[SparkerS1]

  catzilla said:

why they change to EFI if these stuffs will spoil easily?

i cannot explain further liao cos scared u will be too confused.

EFI have been in the market for a long time already.

if u wan a new and reliable bike, get a revo

a drz is another alternative:angel:

depends on how u pick up also..

for me.. slow pick up and normally ride 90-110kmph with stock still can hit +/- 300km for full tank if open Vtec too much maybe 280km

Actually the full tank u mean for 300km is how many litre ah? got include reserve? Im assuming if include reserve for 300km like very funny how come makan fuel like Cl.2 but i don think so bah... I think im wrong erm about how many km/litre? The usual 20-22km/Litre? I think ur riding pattern same as me coz i usually hit the small road for 5mins (50-60kmh) then hit SLE>TPE where i will maintain 100-120kmh from Yishun till i reach Loyang. Urs might be a pretty good estimate mileage im looking at.

Yep same here, best mileage is 320km on full tank (stock)

full tank = 15L not including reserve.. i can hit the most.. 300km++ only

but if say now.. with FS and PCv tuned can always hit 330km+

my journey, from boon lay ave to changi airport lolz..

..

 

sweet:cheers:

the best combination ever

[catzilla]

What is FS and PCv arh? How much do you pay to install and what does this 2 things do?

 

Btw i check SparkerS1 sig, run in 500km stated. Is that means if i buy a new Revo i run in 500km later i can ride like normal already or how long does the run in take in total like 1000km? Usually when u all run in the bike whats the thing to take note? And is it recommended to modify the bike with the above items after 500km? I remember about changing E.O at 500 then 1000 something like that only.....

FS=full system

pcV=power commander 5

these 2 are a combination for performance for bikes.

not necessary to fix or mod anything, it is not a must.

 

i think u are very confused, am i correct?

Correct me if im wrong full system is the full exhaust system from header all the way to endcan right? Power Commander 5 i dunno what is it. But Performance mods can still improve fuel efficiency is damn power. Im now trying to source for Revo but it seems like i have to go shop to shop to enquire about trading in my current ride and pushing out a new Revo. Damn sickening process somemore about more than 4 shops i enquired the deals they give are like apple to orange comparison make me lagi boring.

 

Anyone reading this please advise if it is really necessary to buy a S4 Revo with Boon Siew warranty? Or parellel import should do the job? Apparently a shop kinda offered 2 diff prices for 08 manufactured and 09 manufactured Revo makes sense anot here? I mean to me its the same technology and nothing was improved right but i may be wrong coz im bike purchase noob. The thing i like about this forum is that things are very transparent here and facts can be straightened out easily. Thanks

UP for you, i also want to learn more
