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

[justforme]

my advise is no.

 

wth do u need to buy cert separately? doesnt make sense to me?

 

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

 

Hi riders,I would like to ask a few questions.

Q. A shop bike offered to sell me a second hand Yoshimura full system exhaust for Revo.Offered price is $800.Condition is 9/10 claimed by shop owner.I have not seen e exhaust physically but according to owner e exhaust does not come with a cert which I have to purchase.Currently Im using Leovince SBK exhaust if trade in shop take in for $200.Its a good offer but Im 50/50 to take up e offer.To those who might experience on this,plz advise.

 

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??

[Q] Where is the best place to buy Givi Boxes, Head Fairing and Belly Pan?

 

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,

Rasmus

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...

It has nothing to do with ur clutch plates in the first place. As for eo..doesn't matter when you change if u kenna new but recycle eo...u never know. I can't think of much unless u wanna try my eo and grounding..grounding when done correctly, it replaces ur body as a negative earth return path to battery -ve terminal..thus enhance close to fully current load for various components of the bike..esp ignition coil. Final result is better stronger sparking giving u improve combustion thus equates to final 'product'.."horsepower".

[Maja]

hi guys. i'm riding a revo. i'm still running in my bike. just wanna ask usually at what rpm do you guys change gear? and also when moving off in gear 1 the pick up of my bike seems slow. if i open more throttle, the bike gets more noisy. anyways to improve the pick up?

[desmondband]

Help! I came back from overseas and tried to start my bike just now. Totally flat. 0.00 voltage. What should I do??

[desmondband]

I tried pushing down slope with gear 2 but didn't help. At least 6 times.

[tiku]

Can share wat eo u using and wat grounding service u provide?

 

ah pek using self made eo.. special eo mix wif x1r or even nano (optional)... gnding is 13pt unlike 5pt outside... =p

[desmondband]

Anyone?

[justforme]

Anyone?

 

most recommended is bring your battery to shop to charge. or if you go overseas frequently you can a charger for the battery so u can revive your dead battery everytime you come back
