[Q&A] SBF CB400 Official Q&A Thread 2009 (PLS ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!)

[Ah Pek]

should last quite long . as long your bike electrical working fine should not be a problem . got a few type of rating . cb400 using 10 and 15 or 10 and 20 . Red and blue color

 

 

By right...only 10 amps fuse are used throughout and they are standarded colour coded RED. The main fuse sitting inside a red connector housing has another GREEN fuse and its's 30 Amperes and this is the "Main" fuse. Any other colours else beside this two colours are all 'mod' by mechanics when devices like alarm, disco leds..HID lightings etc..etc..are installed...which can be damaging.

[Ah Pek]

When clutching in to change gear the clutch lever seems to spring back hard. Anyway to solve the problem?

 

Yes..have it solved quickly otherwise you may have extreme clutch plates burning as the clutch cable may not be fully released..much like "half clutching".

 

At your clutch lever cable location..turn the round dial locking disc anticlockwise a few turns. Then follow by turning the clutch cable guide seating screw clockwise. Check for preferred "biting point" after this..if its to slack or still to tight..proceed what I say again at the begining of this para.

So its not a case of clutch plate being worn out right?

I noticed there's some empty slots in the fuse box.

That's ok right?

Anyone tried installing a temperature monitor/gauge/meter for their SuperFour before? Is it possible?

 

I know that we have a temperature warning light for our SuperFours. But I am interested to see if there is any way we can monitor the engine's running temperature, especially during very hot weather, jam at customs, or high-speed touring, etc?

Yup it can be done.even on/off switch for the fan also can.adding 2 more small fan on the raditor also can.

Bro u know where to install 2 more small fans? Does it affect anyting on the bike like battery or sumting?

[at0m87]

interesting topic on the temp monitoring of engine. anyone has done that before?

[Team_Commander]

guys anyone know where i can make a duplicate key? (without the sensor) & how much?

 

i need an additional key for my petrol tank and the seat lock.

 

i don't want to use the main key as i have already broke the key while opening my fuel tank;(

[Team_Commander]

Also heard from a friend whom recently did a key duplicate with sensor as he misplaced his key, that super 4 can only able to reprogramme the key to the bike sensor for 3 times. after that must change cdi??

 

not sure how true but any one can verify??

 

Thanks

Anybody to the above ans? Me interested to know too

[nGuOrEn]

hi, i would like to know whether is it good to cover the bike immediately after riding? there was once after 1hr, i went back to get my bike, the 2 levers were quite hot n it was v difficult to start my bike.. dunno if this will affect the bike in any way?

 

Team_Commander: from wat i heard from my mech, our bikes can only program 2 keys, if u happen to lose both keys, u gotta buy a new CDI.. i think that's wat i got from him roughly.. (Planet-Ah Peng)

Anyone tried recoiling the coil?

no la bro , u need the code to program the key, e.g the code is "abcd" , u can program as many keys with coding "abcd" as u wan, when u slot the key in ,ur cdi won't know this is the 2nd of 5th key u programmed de la

[exige]

Yes...possible.
