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

[gamerzdude]

Glad you solved your problem bro.

 

Btw, I am interested in changing my suspensions too. May I know the model and price of your Ohlins suspension?

 

Do you think the money is worth the performance difference for someone tight in cash?

 

im using giv hr4m rack, currently change it to a sengkwang customised stainless steel rack. Before that went to unique to resolve the problem but didnt solved it at all, to save the trouble i jus go and customise a rack. Did have some "issues" over at unique, dont wish to elaborate. They should know it themselves

 

anyway unique did put spacers at the screw area of the ohlins to the frame, but making it worst as i have a new scar onto the part. Therefore did not solved it and rather making a new mark on it

hey guys, totally new to s4 and am considering getting one. (spec 3 or revo)

 

wanna ask about the difference between spec 3 and revo. more on their market prices.

 

it seems that spec 3 resale value are way higher than revo. any reason for this? is it due to the powercut in revo? or ppl prefer carb than efi?

 

thanks in advance!

If tight in cash, I rather u keep the cash for rainy days

[gamerzdude]

Alamak bro. Tight means cannot anyhow spend money for trial and error. Tight means still got food to eat and fuel to pump. Tight means, priority upgrades take precedence.

Original ones are more expensive from FJT or Chong Aik (advertiser here) but LAB oso have..should be less than $20. As for the hole leaking coolant..most mototiam would suggest having the block replace..2nd unit without warranty cost up to $1k with complete works and all. The other alternative is to do a sealant patch which cost so very much less..a temporary solution but if done right..can be a permernant solution.

[hengneken]

u mean sealant up the eng hole?

[Ah Pek]

u mean sealant up the eng hole?

 

No..it's a coolant itself.

[hengneken]

u mean drain the coolant then replaced with the coolant u suggested?what brand how much?

[hengneken]

@gamerzdude, @ki113r is right. There is nothing wrong with the OEM Showa shocks. If your bike has high mileage and/or you feel the need to adjust the suspension(tuning) to cater to your handling needs, send them for servicing and tuning. PM me if you need a workshop recommendation.

 

Edit: On the other hand if you have spare cash and want to blow the cash on some bling, your options are Ohlins or Bitubo.

I understand when we turn ignition to "On", the meter will go 1 round. But why sometimes after I push start, the meter will go another round?

Nothing to do wif ur petrol but I suggest u use Ron 95 (I skip the detail for now).

 

There are two possibilities that caused ur engine to be that hot..1) bad cooling system and this means can be from insufficient coolant, jammed thermostat, coolant pump not working etc. 2) Eo not good enough for ur kind of riding style and usage or eo level below specification (plse note that there is a eo brand that can drop in level when use).
