Anyone interested in a yosh pipe for B4, there is one currently for auction in ebay. Very rare item.

Dun think it's from VV cos it's pipe doesn't look like super4 at all....

mine also less than 19000km, becoz already 'go one round' n resetted!

 

Test ride the bike if u can.

Alot of answer can be found by observing.

1) engine performance/response

2) tires

3) suspensions/shocks

4) rust/corossion

5) wear n tear parts like chain, sprocket, gasket, fuel tank etc...

6) electrical

7) gear shifting/clutch

 

That's all I can think of for now.

If the condition is very good, then $1500 is a acceptable price i guess...

If there's many things to repair then..... time to bargain...

got my FK plate for 1.2 machine price...

 

anyway ah..just now went jb wash bike...dunno y wash liaoz..gear 1 lose power...then the engine oso sound abit different..but top end speed n pickup not affected ...suspect 2 things

 

minor: carb flood...ok so must run engine until no petrol rite...the petrol tap is either main or reserve hor? so which tube to pull out to cut petrol from carb..

 

major: engine hot..then the bangla spray water directly onto it...then kana

[chee_teck]

I kena tht when i wash my bike there too. Probably its the waater from their jet enter spark plug area...

Can u feel like when ur bike reach a certain RPM value then there is a power surge n pull ur bike forward??

 

If u use a little bit tissue dap the plug area n its wet, go to bike shop use air gun blow out the collected water. Or use fish tank tube to suck water out (something i keep under my seat when i go long distance-come in handy when heavy downpour or out of petrol). And use the tissue to test water after u take out the plug cap la of course hehehe

 

 

xiaop:good luck wif ur bike hunting too. 1500 is quite average i would say. Depending on the whole package u get la. I got mine one year ago for 1350 n its running smoothly n economically too. Other than the normal wear n tear parts mention above by RG, watch out for the rubber plug cap.See if it had harden or broken or not ya...

[chee_teck]

spraying with an air jet will only solve the prob for the moment bro.

I hav the same prob and moreover my 3rd spark plug cap is slightly loose so u can imagine how screwed it is.

the other day, i took out the plug cap and realised itz diff hence the looseness. Sigh! Anyways managed to wipe out the water but guess i need a replacement cap soon. Prob go down to guan hoe on wed or thurs for a service

skybono is the man to ask.

[S750WP]

Yoshimura made a frame slider for the bandit 400, can I find something similar locally.

[rocketman2]

go to motovation, they had somethig made for us bandits recently.

 

Guys, wondering if anyone is interested in getting hel brakelines? the price for a set for the bandit 400s is $160 n the vs is $200. Jenny, yrs shld be $200. Anyone interested to do a mass order? I dunt think Mr HAn or hassan wld mind fixing it up for us for a small fee, say ard $10~$20
