Hi, I've been reading up on this thread for some time now.Don't have class 2A yet, but would definetly want to get a S4 when I pass my 2A. Got some noob questions,.. do I have to display the P plate when I pass my 2A? Also, is the cb400 at bbdc the same as the ones on sale outside? What I mean is, is it specially "tweaked" for learning purposes? TIA.

[ldslds]

bbdc s4 almost the same, i think theirs was supposed to be the same as mass market's hyper vtec, just that their dun have vtec.

spec 1 can use spec 2 meter ar?

[Jayc]

Can't wait to get a s4.. but after reading thru this thread, I still can't decide which version I'll be getting..

 

Need expert opinion from you guys here: If I'm going to own this bike for good(as long as I can keep it), which is THE version? Considering availability of parts, technologies outdating, hardiness of components, add-ons options?etc.. I'd be keeping the bike close to stock, especially the engine.

Beginning my quest for the hunt of the ONE.. although abit early.. TIA.

If you are intending to keep it for a long long time, go get a new REVO.!

[at0m87]

Anyone knows how much is a street legal yoshi end can or full system for revo? and what is the pro of changing air filter to K&N for instance and is it necessary?

it depends on for good is how long. if your budget allows, get a brand new revo.

adv of changing aftermarket air filter is, you can recharge it and it cost only $10. cheaper than buying a new oem filter all the time.

when you cant start your engine at all then you know your battery is flat already. then you got to push start.

wat do you mean by recharge?
