Try Hitachi Credit.. Interest is 4.5% to 5%..

 

Or try some other bike shops.. dont go for those with interest 8% all ah..

 

Do the math... Work out which is a better deal..

normal milleage shld be around 220 to 240 b4 rewserve...unless the bike have been mod..if it is stock and below this limit...clean the air filter and wash the carb...might be dirty..

Use a V-Tec rectifier from Ah-Boy is good enough. Cost about $50-$70 i think. Change rectifier also advisable change with battery

rvf rectifier heat up easily and spoil...get a small pentium 4 fan and tie on it...its work..haha..my retifier use for 1 and a half year le..still in gd condition...

Eh....slight correction. the 2 airducts dont really lead directly to the air filters.

 

They lead to a cavity or "space" beneath the fuel tank where the OEM airbox can draw cooler air from when you are at higher speeds.

 

The ducts existence has been very controversial as they do not lead directly into the airbox to provide real ram air....unlike the ZX400 i think.

 

I posted a picture (from a japanese Honda website) in this thread which clearly illustrate what I'm tryin to explain above. But its almost a year ago...so if any newbies interested...can scroll back many many pages to try to look. hehehe.

 

Cheers! Happpy Holidays Rvfians!

Hi Siao Liao,

 

Cool man..so long liao and u are still with your RVF. Not many "long-term" rvfians now u know...hehehe.

 

Yea, I sold my bike to Mr Sub_Zero and migrated liao. Now holidays here so, quite free to snoob around and post. Also Blame Sub_Zero for giving me the link back here to see him show off his bike. Idiot, make me regret only.

 

Well...i try to share as much as i can remember lor. Its been almost a year since I am bikeless liao....so many things like Fuel capacity that u guys tokin about I also forgot!

 

SL, the CPU fan u talking abt is good mod. I tot of doing it last time but then when my mechanic got me the new rectifier from Honda (for RVF), it lasted also last me 1 and half years without the fan! I forgot the part number but I think Sub_Zero has that old rectifier i gave him for reference...can ask him.

 

Battery and rect lifetime can be extended significantly if you watch the way you "use" your electricals. For e.g....switch off headlights when starting bike, Dont idle too long, drain battery, dont ride bike frequently for short distances....battery cannot charge up enough or often enough and your batter will die prematurely. Also...brands of batteries plays a part too.

 

That is all...gtg liao...family beckons......

Hitachi does do loans for class2A bikes.. That is their bare minimum.. Your other information is correct though..

 

I got my loan thru Hitachi, in my brother's name.. Save you alot of interest money rather than go through shops..
