Plate fy, 600? Wow, that is alot. If my coil and rect is still good? Isit safe to just change the batt?

Depends..

 

How u knw it's still good?

 

Better to change as a set if you can afford. So If anyting is faulty, u can take note the lifespan of the batt/rectifier/coil

This 3 is the main cause of failure on the bike, ther than your cdi n ect

[HaiR1]

Do check for any current leakage from your wire/wiring harness, loose wiring n ect

 

 

Bring to a reputable mechanic when in doubt

Thanks so much bro. Will consider.

[jayz]

Tis is to ensure that the battery doesn't discharge by itself during the 6days of not starting bike

 

 

Else, ask some1 to warm up the bike daily

 

Yes i will be asking my dad to warm up my bike everyday for around 5min?

 

Will it be enough?

[Spideyzam]

Need some help from the pros. Currently CB400SF2 using stock filter/exhaust. If change to hi flow filter and full system exhaust, do I need to do jet kit for carb?

[gamerzdude]

you won't "die" if you don't do a rejet. You can still continue to ride happily forever

 

but if you want PERFORMANCE, then yes you definitely need to do a rejet. Your air/fuel mixture is no longer optimum since you changed your air intake and output.

Shouldn't be a problem as the tire sizes are the same.

[s1ncr0w]

Thanks for the response. Much appreciated.

Smoke? You check this while the engine is running?

[Bobbycarino]

but i hear gpr is the bottom list of exhaust?

Actually, when your engine hot, then suddenly rain, then you stop at shelter immediately, then its not smoke. its steam (I'm not good at explaining it - you get what I mean?)

then that normal la...

 

Radiator cannot come out smoke one... no combustion.

 

check you coolant level a.s.a.p. - just in case.

 

 

Just my $0.02

[ahgene89]

hi guys any idea where can I get power ignite ? implication for 2nd hand one ? or new 1 ?

[jop]

Hi guys, any idea how much an OEM battery costs for Revo? Is $190.00 reasonable?

[hElleVer]

hi guys, ytd encounter a weird problem with my bike, when i riding, the speedometer will suddenly 2 sweep and den on and off den all my time all these are resetted.

Voltmeter recently shows a decrease in voltage when throttle, but when i didnt throttle there is no problem, speedometer wont off and on by itself. Bike still working all right.

 

Is it problem with my rectifier or magnetic coil?

[ryehan]

Guys, any1 know hw to adjust ideling? Or must go shop to do it? Im riding spec1.

[bennygoh]

No need to go shop. Look for a 'flower' like knob below your tank. Turn it to adjust your idling according
