Hi guys, which of these handlebars is better?

Hello there,

I'm looking at Super 4 for my next bike.

Is Spec 1 alright for normal transportation ?

A friend said not to get it..saying it's too old and ask to get spec 3 instead.

he also said that, spec 1 is not really fuel efficient and I can face too many unavoidable wear and tear issues.

I hope some lads here can give their recommendations.

 

thanks

depend on your budget bro,you prefer old skol or newversiontype?

[syafiqgodzilla]

i rather keep it old as too much new it wont stand out.

[foxin]

but across the board. So you're saying from pb1 to spec III its the same engine, chassis and all and different price tag? (ok, except spec I to II have V-tec in it)

Hi....i got a question...Standard rear sprocket size for spec 1 is 45 right??

my question is= watz ur opinion if i put on size 38?? it is coz 85% of my riding style is Spore-KL-Spore almost every weekends...

I want to save fuel...NSE speed 130-160kmh...

 

Another Question is= Is it correct that big bike's tyres wears out slower than small bike's tyre??i asked a S4 rider outside LAB & he said that he had used his front&rear Shinko tyres for almost 36,000km &the tyre still got 10%(rear) ,35% (front) thread..his riding style is spore riding+ 2 weekends riding KL or Melaka...

The answer to your question bro ...

 

Description:

 

Power Abuser Ignite A.K.A "Current Stimulator"aids in all Cars & Motorcycles electrical circuity means power maximized with multiple sparks and capacitive discharge ignition technology with groundbreaking auto ignition research and product development. It increases engine power by generating powerful & optimized sparks duration for a more complete burning without consuming additional fuel.

 

•smoother starts and idles

•more efficient combustion

•intense throttle precision

 

Hope it helps ...

Hey Arlwynn, thanks so much for this. Actually i found this too. But other than these points, is this power abuser the 'thing' that allows you to drag your rpm? Meaning doesnt limit your speed at each gear.

 

Hopefully im making sense. hahaha

My answer is no it has "Nothing" to do with yr gear changing at all except for creating better supply of current and grounding ...

The other option for yr question is that if you would like more power or better performance is that you would need to install PC5 to yr bike and get yr bike Dynotune for better performance cos only PC can do tuning for each gear setting and better RPM setting for each gear changing ...

Hi guys, great forum.

I have just bought a CB400 1993 model. Its great.

The bike was fitted with a small acewell gauge by the previous owner. I have since bought a set of gauges from Ebay to suit this bike but I have a problem. The plugs have been cut off the loom to hardwire the Acewell gauge. The new gauges have the Honda plugs fitted. I need to try find out which wire goes to which pin looking from the gauge side.

can anyone help me please?

 

this is what I have bought. See the plugs? I need to find out what wire in the loom goes to what position in the plug.

thanks in advance I appreciate your help.

Hi guys. Newbie here. Planning to get s4. Which version is the best in terms of fc, low maintenance, higher top end? My budget will be around not more then 6k. Which version to get?

Every dollar is worth it's asset....u might want to get the most out of ur budget to buy as new as possible.. Based on ur budget... I think u only can get a spec 1 to 2(if lucky) with good condition.

Been a noob. May I know what's the biggest different between version s, v1 and v2?

Been a noob. May I know what's the biggest different between version s, v1 and v2?

 

in short , spec 1 and 2 looks the same except the meter needle colour.. spec 1 vtec open at 6750rpm spec2 at 6300rpm, cant rem the number but all u need to know is spec 2 traveling at 100km/h, vtec will open but not spec 1...

 

version s hear say has the best fc among all cb400... non vtec bike is running on 16 valve at all time... but vtec bike is running on 8 valve before vtec open.. vtec open means running on 16valve..

Hi guys, just asking does anyone knows can a spec 3 farings fits revo?

[kyoka]

Hi all~

 

Q:

 

Have this problem recently, when starting bike due long hours never start (overnight, 4hrs+ etc) will have problem starting, the RPM is very low at around 1 and sometimes below it and keep jumping up and down. But when I ride for 10-15mins the RPM will rise up to 1.2-1.3ish, and if I ride longer or weather is hot, it might rise to 2 RPM. Which i have to use the knob near the engine there to adjust the ideling RPM.

 

Anyone of you experience this before. I'm riding SPEC 3, Yoshi full system, could it be due to the tuning run liao, i never done anything bout that for 5 years already.

 

Thanks guys!
