any of you fitted a damper & did any grounding?

heard a few reviews bout the damper but don't think have in singapore

how bout grounding since its an old bike?

any good or just plain waste of $$$$

 

 

[Zon]

damper? wats that? U mean a steering damper?

I only install fork brace, no damper.

 

As for gounding cable, I did it before, below is my remarks posted last year.

 

 

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forum/index....pic=58199&st=30

Riding a suzuki Impulse 400cc.

Which is very similar to Super4.

 

My mech advised me to install grounding cables in bikes over 3 years. Following his advice, My bike's acceleration does feel alot smoother!

 

His reasoning is this, bikes' wires which are over 3years, will be degraded. Unable to conduct elec effectively. Thus, by installing grounding cable, provides better voltage across the bike.

 

I install immed following his advice, cos I had changed my rectifier before due to charging issues.. End up, my rectifier was ok, only the wiring from rectifier to batt was too old. Thus, I do believe my grounding cables were lousy also.

 

Spent $80 includes installation, its grounding cables, not modified speaker cables...

Best part, if u sell ur bike away, can dismantle ur cable and install into new bike. Really feel this is worth while.

 

My 2cents worth.

BTW, bike shop was HKL.

 

Oh ya, jus sent in my bike to bikelab for suspension, will see how it goes.

Think Jonathan ever did his suspension before.

[captain_des]

yup i acutally mean a steering damper have seen some on s4's so i guess suzuki also can?

not very sure as the radiator seems to be blocking the application angle....

anyone?

as for grounding, i guess i'll just go ahead & do it

 

thanks for the advise bro

Hmmm just for all of u out there who still on this muscle bike..Impulse GSX-400 Recon model.. i been using this bike since jun 1997-oct2004(Red/Black) is was a totally damn good bike.. it only thing is the engine is very rough.. my experience was Please check ur engine oil b4 u guys wanna to try to pump for top speed.. i've broke the piston shaft and burn the crank shaft ...but b4 all that happen i had tried on this baby up to 220km/h without using clutch just gear up.. surperb for a musle bike like this .. even wen i test with all super4 not spec2-3 all i gigit(they lost)... The fast pick up and the distance that make it a better bike then S4 bike.. and also at that time the last few years of insurance that i paid was seriously $83 only.... hahaha it was a laughing matter among my fellow friends... But it true... Ok guys.. REMEMBER THIS!! just change the really needed parts,regularly change engine oil , air filter ,oil filter(donot buy at LAB)get it from agent and please stay to original spark plug twin head split fire NGK..... no need for a modification.. this bike is only mean for VINTAGE bike .. NOT speed bike.. for those bike that have not been for service.. please do a top blog service do change the timing chain.. and also the rectifier coz it time to change.. And advice DO GO TO GUAN HOE at Eunos Ind they know what to do.. 7years riding GSX-400 Impulse and now on

GSX-R1000K3 Well done suzuki... Suzuki will Rule the world....

[Guest nE0]

My impulse is running quite rough now, since its only firing 3 cylinders, or maybe 2 only. Sounds quite cool though.....! I'll check the plugs tomorrow morning.

[Zon]

Great to hear good things about the Impulse!

Din know th top speed was 220km... isit stable at tat speed? I only try 190km top, and tat was my max.

 

Jus back from penang.. no worries, jus pump petrol and go. Only thing is, my setting is too rich, maybe I should pay guan hoe a visit.

Ok, just to share with everyone- dirt cheap engine oil including labor $3 each here:

 

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forum/index....howtopic=101788

 

Change 3 days ago and feels ok although Impulse suppose to run on 10/40.

[Guest nE0]

I run my bike with 15/40, sometimes 20/40 engine oil too. I don't think it really matters due to our warm weather, but more importantly is to change the engine oil often.

 

impulse can hit 190? Hmmm. I wouldn't want to try with the current condition of my suspension, but mine can do 190, probably would be better if the exhaust is not damaged and leaky.

Jus did my suspension with bike lab... they did a good job with the rear suspension, but with the front, it was .......

 

If u wan to do ur suspension, suggest going for the rear, and get someone else do the front.

 

No offence to bikelab.

tats crazy...

Most likely, they are importing it overseas.. So they take in cheap. But if selling locally, most bike shops will still sell ard $2.5k to $3k plus...

HI ALL,

 

1. i just changed my plugs a while ago & noticed that the left plug is of an unsual colour than the other 3 plugs. (does it need a top block overhaul)

 

2. at times when i turn the bugger on i can hear something like a small stone or something somewhere near the top block (something must be wrong somewhere)

 

3. once i tried to start NO GO had to bloddy push start the bugger on an inclined carpark on 2nd gear hahahaha, it started and the e-start is still ok till today

 

4. my rear brake seems to feel like there's something "chopping" the disc when you ride it for too long. could it be that the disc is bent? cos i changed the rear brake shoe & found out that the caliper is beyong repair (a 2nd hand caliper/brake disc anyone selling?) or is it my rear wheel bearing?

 

5. tank is leaking already anyone know where to get a second hand and will even consider a new one!

 

6. lastly can some kind soul point out the shop guan hoe @ eunos or something right?

 

 

help me out guys cos i noobie at road bikes man.... :help:

 

 

thanks
