The babe still going strong as usual. jus wear tear lor.. batt die n cutch cable break last mth.. bery sway..

1more thing, the voltmeter siao siao 1 leh, sometime change light sometime dun..

That's pretty standard but how does your clutch cable snapped? I've have nv change the clutch cable throughout 4 and half yrs LoL u actually snap it. Btw as voltmeters are more for car usage, the meter is not splash proof. The contact with water might make it goes haywire at times.

 

Its actually pretty useful if you use it to monitor your charging. Once it falls too low, its either your battery or rectifier or magnetic coil is going to spoil.

For the blades who're interested.. worksmanship of the rearsets is very neat.. and lightweight too.

hey folks, planning to upgrade to a cbr 400 R model as soon as i enroll for my 2a next week. just wondering, the front ram air ducts do not lead to the airbox but to the chassis right? uuh what is the rationale behind this? oh and what are the things to look out for in buying a bike like this?

please reply with a list of commonly damaged items so i can pay extra attention to them. if it's engine problems, what kind of weird noises (eg. meowing or quacking sounds) do i lookout for when i rev? also, which shop stocks well on this model and what is the expected price? i would love to ask one of u uncles (oops brother i mean) to pop by a shop with me and tell me what's good and what's bad in front of their cunning salesmen and prevent their mechanic from telling me half truths in his attempt to convince me that the bike is the best in singapore and jb

 

any help is very much appreciated and i would reciprocate that act of kindness with a free meal ! hope that i do not need to change my gender icon in order to get many replies here LOL thanks guys! peace out

 

oh btw szetoh, didn't u plan to get a rvf instead?

First of all, u must understand that blades are much older than RVFs.. most of them coming to 10yr old if not even older than that, therefore wear and tear is to be expected.. When start, engine shouldn't have those knocking sound or the clutch shouldn't have the 'tok tok' sound nor the 'clicking' sound of the shims.. Check the shocks as well, u dowan to buy a bike with a spongy or softy suspension and spend a few hundred bucks to recon them. R model has got rebound adjustment on their forks, so if u can, take a philips screwdriver and make sure both of the small adjuster can turn clockwise and anticlockwise and also they are 'clicking' as u turn them. The ram air actually leads to the chassis just outside of the carbs, I believe they're for the carbs, but pretty much redundant in my opinion. a proper suspension when u force them down, they should rebound back and not just sink in and take forver to rebound back up slowly.. check the battery also..and also the frame if there's been any damage or welding which indicates a major accident before. Blades are known for their softy forks which go soft easily..nothing can be done, unless u revalve the forks or u can just service them more often. ASPhoon always seem to have blades going in and out of their shops.. can drop by their place to take a look. Pricewise I'm not sure..haven been to the shops lately. U can always shop arnd first before u commit.

wher is combine motor? hw much they charge? full add pls...

[Zer0]

Try some heavier fork oil with a smaller air gap and the forks will be much stiffer for next to no money. Also you can put a spacer in the top of the fork which will stiffen them up as well for only a couple of bucks.

 

I would budget to have a full service on anything you buy, don't trust the last owner/bike shop unless you know them very well as if they have not had the proper servicing done you could end up paying for it.

 

Budget for:

Valve clearance check and adjustment

Cooling system flush and refill

Spark plugs

Oil and filter

Fuel Filter

Airfilter.

 

If you get these done then the bike should stay reliable and great to ride!

regarding the suspension, u can seek advice from Joshua @ BikeLab, think he can give u the best answer and solution.

[honam24]

regrading rear suspendion, i heard that when we change to cbr 900 suspension , it will be more better than currently wat we r in stock in as the diameter is rather small compare to cbr900 suspension.. is is ture?
