Q: anyone knows how to replace the throttle cables?

[captain_des]

take out seat & tank, pretty straightforward from there. remember to lube the cables before installation! (lube equals many more miles)

Meaning no need to take out the carb? Anyway I cant seem to take out the cable from the handle end.

You can try your luck, but nowadays they are quite strict.

Hi, dear CB400 kaki. I just bought a used CB400 spec 3. Need your advise on what things must change, need to change and good to change (Other than EO and coolent)? I need to travel from west to east everyday, bike break down is a nightmare. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone.

This is my first post here, so I'm sorry if I ask a stupid question .

I just bought a 2008 CB400 Revo from my friend last month. I want to ask that can my bike have an upper fairing like the CB400 Super Bol D'or ?

http://www.indomotorcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Honda-CB400-Super-Bol-dOr-SE-02.jpg

Please give me some advice. I really love that fairing but I can't afford the price of a brand new CB400 Super Bol D'or and in my country there's no one sell used bikes (we dont enjoy the "super bol d'or" bikes here).

Thanks for your help!

It's been a couple of days, maybe "Hellever" have had it sorted out. But anyway, in reply to your question:

 

I am using "Monorack by Givi HA4". it fits perfectly, and far away from the shocks. It's higher up position makes it a good anchor for lashing my seat luggage too whenever i go touring. Apparently, Hellever's picstures also show HA4, yet it looks markedly different from mine.

 

Bro. What rack model you using that runs above the side fairing? Care to share?

[hElleVer]

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

[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?

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?
