Damper is for really bad headshakes. for highspeed stability, really depends on your suspension set up, may i check whats your laden sag for the front and rear?

hmmm.... for the rear tink is the max liao which my mech claims, for the front hav no idea leh. hw u check? I push forward my bike got no rebound at all.

wat il4 mean for headshake is when u go highspeed, yr handlebar tend to turn left and rite...

damper is there for u to control those rite and left disturbance...

if u feel yr bike unstable, u need to check yr shock...

the power cut in cbr is there to tell u that the bike handling power is the lowest at that speed, anymore than that power cut speed mean quite dangerous le...

oh no no my handle bar don shake la, i juz wan to double secure. riding posture is important as well wen u travelling at high speed. I juz wan double secure for me & my bike tats all. If u guys find tat it not the least neccessary den tink i giv it a miss lor. juz tot tat damper is an important secure for the bike wen travelling high speed juz like having gd brake hose.

nw is below 60kg

Don't waste money on a damper, its not necessary and not the answer to the problem you are having. Being a little unstable in cross winds has more to do with the fact that it is a very small light bike and with a small light rider is even more noticable.

 

I used to ride a CBR250 for a while in Australia and would literally be leaning sideways just to go straight from the cross wind in some sections, nothing a damper would ever do anything about though.

go get your laden sag set properly. 60kg dun require you to have the rear preload crank to the max.

if your front and rear is working properly, you can start from 35mm front and 30mm rear rider sag. This is the starting point.

Most ppl just buy the brake disc without measuring the thickness left.

For R model min thickness is 3.5MM. ans check for surface flatness using a dial gauge.

Guys,

 

I did major n minor checks for my Thai ride soon.

Voltage check - 12.8v ok

Rectifier check- 12.8v, ohm , continuity etc-

Fuel pump- fine

Fuel filter- replaced

Fuel hose- ok

Coolant flush

Brake bleeding

Starter motor check- ok

Tires

brakes

suspension, forks

stering cone, wheel cones

chain n sprockets - new

 

 

 

and found that

 

- exhaust got minor leakage, replace with new gasket .

- mirror slanted- replace with new miror stay

 

 

anymore to add in?

 

Hope my second ride to Thai with this babe and my babe would be smooth..

 

This would be my last ride with a CBR400 RRR virgin .

 

PS: can recomend me a mechanic who know depth abt electrical stuff , my regular mech dont even know how to check fuelpump, starter rotor etc, need to check myself ....

[henRRy]

How about the rider? Any checks done?

 

 

Bro,

 

Dun forget to bring you logcard, road tax and insurance along. You may like to bring along one set of tire repair kit, air pump as well. Also, ensure that the dual zips along your bags are secured to one side (not middle). Bring along a small bottle of chain lube if possible. Spare bulbs as well... Some standard sizes tools for CBR might help a great deal for any breakdowns.

 

Cheers and have a safe journey!
