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

[Ah Pek]

Hi all. Im new to cb400.

Im riding a spec1.

Question. How does this KYB absorbers fair? Mine badly needs a change

 

2) i intend to change my meter to KosoRX2N. Anybody does that before? And is it legal when comes to inspection wise. Ur help would b greatly appreciated

 

Kayaba is ok..should cost around $500-$600. Just be sure the mounting holes and length of the suspension is with specification. If ur old absorber is a SHOWA...can have it rebuild for about $240-$300..it be as good as a brand new one or better.

sim lim tower got sell koso meter? really?

[world of sin]

Can just tap from the battery terminals with a multivolter and look for reading yhat varies from at least 13.5 to 14.2v dc from 2k - 5k rpm (increase slowly) provided ur magneto coil is ok.

apek,I already change the batt n rectifier..now cn get 13.2v to 13.7v only..tats means my magneto coil going to spoil?

A new magneto coil and a good rectifier would gives u 13.8v dc to 14.2v dc. For ur reading..it's ok but ur coil is considered "half live".

U don't check by crusing because the range is from 2-5k rpm which at one pint it gives the best reading. Use a multivolt meter (not those install on bikes)..tap ur battery terminal and slowly turn throttle from 2-5k rpm range and see what's ur maxs reading...if still 13.2v dc...life span about gone or coil about to be damage by using poor quality eo. Afraid u have to have them replaced if they gone bad..ur bike would start and battery won't charge..$300+ for a coil and $75-$85 for rectifier..depend on which spoiled.

Hello all,

 

My Son has just bought a 2008 CB SF Revo and as usual the first thing he wants to do is to make it louder. No problem as I am a fabricator and have already fabricated his Slip-on pipe but need to get it running right.

Could anyone of you advise on the part # for a PC3 and would anyone have a PC map that will get me started.

We have searched high and low for a part number but have not been successful.

 

The reason for the PC3 instead of PC5 is because I have the hand held programer for my other bikes so I do not want to out and buy another gadget.

 

Your help would be much appreciated.

 

Ride Safe..

i think he meant to bring the bike with the system installed for inspection to get the inspection cert.

from what i know all new system does not come with cert. you have to get it inspected seprarately. however i also do not recommend as it does not really improve anything except maybe cosmetically while you pay $600.

Er. Sorry. I think u misread his qns. The full system exhaust is 2nd hand and thus should have the cert for the full system from local authorised dealer. Regards to inspection cert. He haf to do it no matter first hand or 2nd hand. Btw heard that LTA dun approved anymore new full system exhaust. Any bro can confirm this??

Hello guys, I recently got a Spec II and I'd like to know where is the best place (i.e. the cheapest and most reliable place) to install Givi Top Box and Side Box. Also, I want to install a Belly Pan and the full head fairing (i.e. the Spec III one) but I don't know where to go. Does anyone know where is a good place to go?

 

Thanks,

Heard that Motoworld does a spec 3 conversion which is quite good. I remember reading that its about $200?

[ki113r]

Intending to get a Spec 3 in 2 months' time, thus need the advice from the experts here.

 

What are the common issues / problematic areas to look out for?

1. Suspension?

2. Engine sound?

3. Etc...
