[xjrredbull]

Deh, where is everybody?

 

all been bz i guess....

[xjrredbull]

fyi;

i've had this prob w my engine for awhile now n i noe its common for our XJR to have tt. but wuts uncommon, are gd mechanics tt has knowledge of our bikes. i've been to afew bike shops n most of em told me is has smthg to do w e clutch casing. even after telling em, tt its not due to e casing, they still insist tt it is. to cut things short, i was recommended by my cuz to go this mech at kallang ave (he gets his bike done there most of e time). when e mech listened to my bike, he immidiately told me tt its not e clutch casing. change new one also no use. e moment i heard tt, i was so happy! haha. finally, a mech noes our XJR. he said tt, in our engine there r 2 chains unlike cbr400. but i didn't do anything to my bike coz he said it'll cost abt over $1xxx. might as well get a new bike. but he reassured me tt e chains in there won't snap. maybe some of u guys noes abt e shop alr, but i'll just put up e add later tonight. i dun have e name card wit me now.

 

i'm sure there r other mech out there tt noes much abt our XJR but then, not all can be trusted.

 

ps: bull, this was wut i wanted to talk to u abt e other day. but no time.

 

i told u so (that its not the clutch housing!).

I wanna ask ah, the XJR, the handlebar can actually touch the tank right and there are no stoppers?

[happy125]

I am riding XJR1300 dont have this experience.

I dont think any brand of bikes will allow this in their design, must be an after market products.

 

Just my opinion lah....

You can ask any of the XJRers here.

None would tell u that their handlebars can touch the tank.

Some of us are even using scrambler handlebars. eg. renthal, tag metals etc.

 

Just change to a new one and I'm pretty sure the problem would be solved.

Cheers.

[crazydj]

I see, i see. Weird sia. I clearly remember the XJR at CDC handlebar can touch the tank because everytime i move it out from the lot and turn it all the way, my hand would hit the tank. Hmm...

 

Thanks guys!

[BOWIE]

The only time my handle bars actually touched the tank was when it crashed.

Ha ha , true, true.

 

So CDC bikes you picked must have crashed.

How can they allowed such a bike in the circuit, dangerous.

[btarroja]

 

well, mattel, lets put it this way.

i ride my XJR400R since SEPT 04 until today.

the bike is really durable & a good looker too.

had my fair share of problems BUT overally, the bike gives more pleasure than heartache to me.

Though, i may experienced some part glitches all this years, i feel it is worth every penny of it.

Parts like head gaskets, oil filters, knn air filter can be serviced at most shops, ohlins shocks is serviceable at HKL & Teck Thye, tensioners may need ordering, so will oil cooler hoses but then, after years of riding, gg to trips & torture, it only started a small leaking recently. I already ordered through a shop & its on its way from Japan.

Looking back, its parts may be scarce, but if you take good cafe of its needs, you will do just fine.

And nothing beats a unique, scarce bike but XJR...

 

 

 

Hi xjrredbull,

 

Can you share with me how to know that the tensioner is spoilt?

 

Thanks,

Bogs

cool! Thanks!

 

 

one more question. is it normal for xjr400 to have a "tok" sound near the transmission/sprocket area when moving from stop? I hear this "tok-tok" sound when moving from stop. But it is gone when i'm moving.

 

Thanks,

Bogs

good day, Bogs

 

i think that 'tok' sound could come from

1. the spocket(wearing off of the lock nut).

 

go & have a look in by a mech Bogs! or if u have a spanner box size 8, you can remove the drive spocket cover & foot pegs to see it for yourself!

The 'tok tok' sound when you go very slow or pushing your bike, Bull is correct, caused by the sprocket/chain worn out.

 

I had this before, very malu when you pushed your bike at 2nd Link and this 'tok tok' sound came out from your bike.

 

Changed sprockets and chain, sound gone.
