Would like to know if side boxes can be fitted onto the XJR 400. Givi or H&B also can.

 

Thanks.

Does anyone has a XJR400 saddle to let go?

 

saddle? as in saddle bag?

should be able to, depending on which design/models..

as for eg. givi, wingrack is universal just need the correct mount..

for h&b also need to get proper mount in order to fix their box base plates

Hi,

 

I like the looks of the XJR 400, but am concerned about the availability of parts and reliability, since its a rare bike, compared to Honda S4

 

Any current owners can advice on whether its easy to find parts and workshop to carry out servicing and repairs?

 

Thanks.

to bros who are keen to buy a xjr, have got my xjr400 up for sale.

 

The bike is in mint condition. Proud to say it might be one of the best maintained xjr400 in singapore.

collin to add foam is easy.. can save the oem cover & revert back to stock in future

for me its the other way around.. i want to revert back to orig cover..

what u guys suggest? either that or go all the way with corbin look?

 

[collinsxuwei]

i have my bike serviced at Planet motor by Ah Chong. Workmanship is good and spare parts are easily available as local yamaha agents still keep stock of parts. So far i haven't encountered any problem in sourcing for spare parts.

 

XJR400 uses a simple straightforward inline four engine with no complex structure/mechanism. Repair cost is pretty cheap also.

Thanks, F/X. original cover is very well made, that is why i want to keep it. Adding more foam will make it more suitable for long ride and make the riding posture less aggressive. any good shop to recommend?

Anybody uses a different rear shock than Ohlins?mine comes with a basic yss rear shock damm soft..dunno if get the yss with gas reservoir would be of any difference.getting Ohlins is way over budget..

[fx]

Elliot, why yours doesnt come with ohlins?

 

Collin, i was at eu.saddle the other day & mentioned abt your idea of saving the orig cover..

there are a few around but i keep coming back to him coz he always try his best to solve my strange requests.. hehe

 

here is the add: http://eugenesaddlery.weebly.com/

I bought mine 2nd hand and dat time I thought the yss would suffice,I guess not..

The rear shocks must have been swapped out!

Thanks for the info, F/X.

[Elliot]

Hehe ya lor,abit dumb of me not to consider that point when got the bike..any 2nd Ohlins for sale hehe

[ooitn]

I bought mine 2nd hand and dat time I thought the yss would suffice,I guess not..

 

you sure you know how to adjust? Maybe you should ask the bike shop(unique) to look into it?

Personerly. I think YSS should do the JOB, XJR ohlin is not the top notch...

[Elliot]

Thanks ooitn for the advice,the mech that I always go servicing commented dat the shocks I'm using are for RXZ(without external gas reservoir)..will go to unique and take a look thanks

Hey guys need help. Whenever I start my bike cold, the moment I put the shifter to 1st gear the bike jerks and stalls. Start up the bike again and the problem's gone. Had the clutch cable replaced and my clutch plates are still ok. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Oh ride the 400 btw and mine's the 05 model. Thanks in advance.

[collinsxuwei]

it sounds like your clutch is not fully disengaged when you switch to 1st gear. Maybe you can check if your clutch cable is properly secured and tightened with free play set at 2.0~2.5cm since you have just replaced you cable. your first clutch-in movement probably does not eat up all the slack in the cable.

 

You can warm up the engine for a while and then switch to 1st gear. Observe if the tacho meter RPM drops when this problem occurs. Decline of idle speed means your clutch is in engagement.

hi there, i m considering of getting a xjr4, realised upon viewing one realised it comes only with a side stand. So was wondering if its possible to install a centre stand, eg. like does the frame has a bracket on which u can fix on the centre stand to?

hi all ,

 

Just got my OHLIN suspension and front 1 side brake stolen at Fernvalve MSCP, Already make a police report and heard from recover team that fernvalve area got a few case so for those XJR guys who stay in sengkang are please be careful

[collinsxuwei]

How to do you plan to restore the bike? i saw one scraped carb model Fazer1 that has the same caliper at Planet motor. Maybe you can try searching for substitution parts.

So gum you lost someone selling at the exact same date. http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php/356033-OHLINS-from-XJR400-For-Sale

[collinsxuwei]

I am going to engrave some secret code onto the shocks and calipers for recognition purpose. In case the parts got stolen, whoever find the buyer selling stolen goods please give him a good thorough beating.

Hi guys, this will be first time I'll be posting in this site, I recently got a second hand Yamaha XJR400 it's says on the registration that it's a 1990 model, AFAIK XJR's were released around '93 so the registration isn't accurate ^_^.

 

I'm from the Philippines and I find the bike really good, better than the Honda Super Four PB1, it's kinda noisy though but from what I heard it's normal since it's oil cooled unlike the PB1, I love how it look big and how it looks old school.

 

Here in the Philippines there really isn't a group/club dedicated to XJR's they rather go for the Honda Super four since it's "easier for them to maintain" plus parts are all around (so they say) here, owners usually look for ways to maintain bikes looking for cheaper alternatives as long as it works and as long as it has quality, like the oil filter for example, are you guys aware that we can use oil filters compatible with Honda Civics or Honda Accords? Hope you guys can lend me a hand whenever I have issues with my ride. TIA. more power.

 

btw here's my bike maybe you can tell me what it really is
