great...how much is the repair anyway?

 

Unfortunate it was not disclosed to me.

I fell out with my bike shop cos of some other f*cking issue...

 

Thus now want to find out also problematic.

NTUC won't disclose the amount to me.

 

I can only tell you that I had to pay an excess amount of $525 (inlcuding GST)

[DAni3L]

Anyone encountered any problems with your odometer??

mine have a big problem... now cannot switch between different trip

meters and time at all... stuck with one onli...

Apparently its my buttons cuzing it.... Anyone facing this problem??

[Shinigami]

when u press can u feel the small tick sound on ur button

if there is then probably ur chip has spoilt

if there's no sound maybe there's no contact wif the chip button

[furbykong]

so does anyone noes how or where can we solve the prob?

 

its not an essential function but it is irritating to haf sumtink u cant used

hey guys,

 

I'm beginning to find that my fork is getting a little too soft (done about 10,000 km on it so far).

 

Also the rebound is a little fast, causing the fork to feel rather springy.

 

Will changing the springs to heavier ones help ? (what are the weights of the stock springs ?)

 

Will changing the fork oil to a thicker oil slow the rebound rate ? (again, what is the viscosity of the stock oil ?)

 

Is there any downside to the above actions ?

 

Any alternative actions to suggest ?

 

Thanks all

Check with BikeLab....forgotten his nick, but he seems quite good in fork and suspension area.

Hi guys. I'm thinking of getting a 97 XJR400R, and I know some of the guys here ride this older version. Basically, I am interested to know whether the spare are hard to get or not? I am also worried about the fuel consumption, cause someone once told me a full tank can go up to 280km - full tank, 18 litre for 280 km? That's even less than 20km per litre...

 

By the way, where is AutoMachinery exactly? Also, has anyone install frame slider on the XJR before?

[kaiq]

... how come everyone like suddenly disappeared? Anyone riding old xjr400r to talk about it? Me got questions leh...

[shamain]

ani of u guys try 2 put a new rxz fairing on the xjr:cheer:

[furbykong]

u mean rxz sai tao? mine is having one, from a certain angle looks a bit funny.

dun tink a stock rxz got fairing?

[shamain]

funny? me saw 1 one a S4 damn garang la

XJR put not nice izit. u got pic 2 share of ur bike:smile:

[furbykong]

initially i find it a bit funny, but after sum time it actually proportionates the outlook of the bike. anyway its beauty in the eyes of beholder, up to individual likes. i got no pic no digital camera, but if u dun mind can cum to my blk carpark on a sun morn to take a look, i will be slping

[Skywlker]

Where haff all the pple riding XJR400 gone to??????

[furbykong]

not many ard, fewer are active in sbf. mayb ard 8 to 12 haf surfaced b4.

 

mayb its too few pple riding it or those riding it cant b bothered, tats why the presence of this fella has fell into oblivion

[Mr.Alex]

s Xjr parts expensive? Maintaince cheaper than super four or expensiver?

 

Cos thinking to buy a xjr400.... can any 1 riding it give some comment??

[furbykong]

actually if u search the past posts a lot has been compared btw the 2.

 

not tokng abt issues addressed by the other thread by pierrot, main diff i feel is the oil cooled engine of xjr, meaning no coolant like s4. gd or not its up to u to decide. price wise u dun change coolant every week

 

the rest from tyres, headlight, odo / speedometer, spark plugs, chain, sprockets, oil filter are nearly the same as s4. engine oil change is 2L or a bit more per change, less than s4. in fact some aftermarket parts used by s4 can be used on xjr.

 

tyres: front 110/70 rear 150/70, tink s4 stoock rear 140, 150, 160 depending on version or spec 1,2,3, stock front shld be 120. so given the same make of tyres used, not much price diff in tyre usage

 

spark plug: same unless u are so particular abt tweeny differences

 

chain: xjr stock 520 s4 stock 525, price no diff

 

sprocket: not much diff for aftermarkets, even oem oso not much diff in price, anyway u dun change them every week

 

oil filter: see spark plug

 

one thing cant deny is u dun find xjr parts as readily as s4, more than half the time u haf to go to hong leong or another 1 or 2 places holding xjr parts

 

heard a lot of ranges for fuel consumption for s4, but xjr so far heard is ard 20-22km/l region, at the end of the day, see how throttle happy u r

 

2002 xjr is diff from its old brother, earliest shld be a FV plater for 02 model

[Skywlker]

wat u mean by different? care to elaborate in wat sense??

[furbykong]

appearance wise the pipe is a giveaway. the new 02 model has a flushed pipe, while the old has a tapered pipe.

 

rear shocks same, striking yellow Ohlins shocks.

 

took a peep at the old model, they do not haf a digital tripmeter liek the 02 model. whereas the 02 has an digital tripmeter juz below the odometer

 

no idea abt the tank capacity, but there is a slight diff in shape and cutting, 02 looks more aerodynamic and sleek (personal opinion)

 

stock 02 model rear tyre is 17 inch 150/70 , but 2 of the old xjrs i seen seems to haf 17 inch 140 for rear. this one is my own speculation based on visual observation, so boh bah kay pt made by me

[Skywlker]

haha hey dude u are really a guru of the Yamaha XJR400.. so when will be the day ur XJR becomes an FJR?? Any idea about the market price of a XJR currently?
