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

No worries.

It does require some hard work to access to the speedo sensor but there's no need to replace other items.

did u go to the place that start with U at Tohguan?

 

yes i did

 

i guess i will go down planet for my issue

Hi guys need some advice here. I'm riding a spec1.

 

Recently I have found the left side of my engine to be leaking, most likely engine oil I think (not too sure if its petrol..?).

The problem is it doesn't leak when it's stationary, it only leaks when the bike is moving, and the e/o will get sprayed all over my left leg.

 

Anyone has any idea as to what's the problem here?

 

 

Hi guys I have attached some pictures to show the leakage. Hoping some brothers will be able to enlighten me.

Regarding this issue I went to a mechanic and he told me gasket leak(?). And he also told me might as well service the engine inside like change piston rings and shims etc. with a quote of 1k+. Just wondering if that's the case?

your rpm is normal.. same as mine. if you suddenly open throttle alot it definitely wun respond enough cauz it is using carb not fuel injection, smooth but quick increase will be more efficient than sudden opening of throttle.

referring to the photo i cant be sure cauz i cant see other parts of your engine but it's the small black tube that is oily only right? that is actually the petrol tube to your carb. it could be that your tube clamp is just loose or that petrol mechanism (i dunno what's that called) is faulty and leaking even when your engine isn't started.

Thank you justforme.. At least i know my RPM is normal. Was riding CBR400 before that. My RPM when is at 6 hit 100km/hr. But now with spec2 6.5 or 6.7 rpm then hit 100km/hr .. So, i am kinda worried.

sucks man

 

Depends on luck. My mudguard was also cut by the previous owner. So I played safe, went LAB & buy a stock mudguard. DIY & pass inspection easily.

[philomath]

Thanks alot bro. yea it's mainly this part that seems to be leaking. the rest seems to be just stained with oil coming from here

[jayz]

Just went for inspection at sta, passed 👍

Hi guys, i just bought my S4 and it's fully stock so i'm wondering which kind of chain lube will be good for s4 as i was using Holts for my 2b bike. Will it be ok for S4 too?

I've seen some S4 have this tube thingy sticking out in between the chain and the metal bar that holds the tire. If i'm not wrong that should be some auto lubricating thing right? if it is, any idea where can i get it done?

 

Thanks!

from what i know all bike chain lube can be used for any bike chain. the auto lubricating you are talking about should be scottoiler, can get from any shop but the distributor for singapore is motoworld.

how long can front brake pad last? my front brake pad only last 3 months, currently using SBS brand, thinking of changing to EBC but costs $70 more at LAB

Ahh.. ok thanks for the info! Btw can i ask how come when i ride over some small bumps like road uneven those kind. my handle bar the big bolt right in the center will have the "tak tak" sound ar? It has been tighten already. Could the problem be the bearing inside already gone case?

 

Also where can i install Main Stand for Spec 3? Roughly how much too?

 

Thanks!
