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

[hanrxk]

morning bros, how much is the fairing that covers the side of the curberttor? the one use on scramblers. thanks!

[MUSHA]

I did not say changing to K&N does any harm..you don't sound to happy and very defensive. If there is "harm"..there is actually, this poor guy is spending $70 just to find out you are concluding his problem without having his fault being analysed first.

 

Making the decision to change to a K&N filter means to say you are already faulting it at the air filter right..and you are already committing in spending $70 right?.

 

In your post above, yourself say..I quote again.."there could be many reasons.." That I agreed but why commit straight to spending money on a K&N filter while you can either try without an air filter or have the original air filter clean first..why have to spend $s?

 

"w/o air filter, the bike is risking taking particles that will smash the 4-stroke engine"..that I agreed but hardly it will unless he's damn unfortunate. I have been riding without air filter for months before..not even a clog. Of course if he's commuting in an environment that has site construction going on.

 

"so what do u think is the cause in the high fuel consumption, given the fact that he has already clean & tune his carbs?"...LOL! Yes, I will solve his problem and he's gonna tell you and you come back here and tell me what you think, ok?

 

Oh... dont be offended. Forum is a place without faces, so u dont see how i look when i type. Always take it as neutral, ah pek.

 

of coz, spending $$$ is the least everyone of us want to do. It is just a suggestion for K&N. Read my post again, it is a ? at the end of my sentence.

 

It is courageous for you to ride without filter. Like u say unless he's damn unfortunate. So the unfortunate is when it happens, the rider got only himself to bear to cost of overhaul.

 

I would love to hear solutions posted on the forum.

[MUSHA]

Yup, very important now especially when petrol is expensive.

[loyjwe]

ya lor. super exp.

 

ah pek wats CLS?

 

haha

[Ah Pek]

CLS stands for "Crystal Lattice Structure". I skip the technical part of it but what it does is, its a replenishing near diamond hard surface on metal parts providing a super slick surface which result in reduced friction and wear and oso rebuild the engine walls, gears..etc.with its micro layers protection. Its a one time treatment that last 30,000 km. Use with X-1R..that layer stays longer as X-1R is always between metal contact.

[Ah Pek]

Yes. CLS is a one time thingy that last for 30K. With X-1R, it's even longer.

Hi friends. I'm new to the forums and I'm riding a super4 spec 2.

 

Hope someone will give me advise on this:

 

Yesterday after parking at pavement and going down the curb, the curb was too high and when my front wheels went down, the headers knocked rather HARD onto the curb. There was a "tong" sound when it happened.

 

For an instance, my bike was stuck, one wheel down the curb already on the road, and the rear wheel was still on the pavement before the curb. So I revved the engine harder and it came down.

 

After that I went to check, I realised there was 2 dents at the bottom of the header!

 

Anyone knows if that will affect my bike? Is there anyways to fix it or do I have to live with it? Thanks.
