Tot I'll post this, as many ppl asking for the Model etc...

 

NC23 is hurricane (J and K)

NC29 is Fireblade (L, N and R)

 

As for the difference, there are a number of difference but I'm too lazy to list them...

So i guess mine is L model LOL.. Its the one without power cut right.

Cant wait to collect mine from excelcycle tml. Hope it doesnt giveme problems.

has anyone tried installing a fuel sensor or gear sensor for cbr400?

[crowbar84]

hey guys,im selling my cbr.anybody wants?

 

I may hav a friend who is interested. Do pm wif a pic n contact no. Thanks

[crowbar84]

get L model lo, no power cut one. R model got power cut. N model i think power cut on meter. I'm using Motul, might change to others depending on review. Regarding Liqui Moly, how to say smooth ?

 

after changing e-oil..u can feel it...smooth gear change..engine doesnt sound rough. It has additives which reduces wear n tear of the engine parts

[a d v o C a t e s]

is it ? maybe i'll try that the next servicing, normally you all how many K service 1 time ?

it depends...5k or 4mths...cbr is a hot bike..so frequent e-oil change is gd

Yeah can feel the difference after changing oil... If eo is old you can feel it's harder to kick up and down the gears...

Those headers from Wemoto seems to be 4-1-1 type...

 

yea... but its pretti cheap for an aftermarket header... its like $400 SGD after currency conversion...

 

i do not have a link for the header. as for what i know, i dont think they check the header during inspection if the think of the process during your inspection for your bike.

 

i have seen fellow bladers changing at the bikeshop. i think it's ard 400++. for more info you can check out with ah beng from bikeworkz.

[blacstarz]

anyway can i ask.... after washing carb today... my idling at is unstable.... current idling speed is at 1.5 rpm.... can any one guide me on tis??

[kaznad]

is it ? maybe i'll try that the next servicing, normally you all how many K service 1 time ?

 

According to manual, change every 6000km...

 

yea... but its pretti cheap for an aftermarket header... its like $400 SGD after currency conversion...

 

Actually what I meant was 4-1-1 type is more for top end.... If I'm not wrong you will lose the low end... Sg road I think we dun really need so much top end...

You mean it keeps jumping all over the place? Recommended is 1.2 - 1.4k rpm... Also remember to set it when your bike has already warm up... if you set when cold the idle rate will increase when warmed up.... if idle still not steady, then most prob the mechanic did not sync the carbs properly...

[new bladers]

 

so after you fixed a switch and changed the coolant does it solved ur temp problem ?

and how much you paid for the switch and you change to what coolant ?

 

looks like ok . still under observation.

its free for the switch .

[a d v o C a t e s]

Lol sian. I also forget I travel how many k after I change my e oil already. Lol.

[aaronlovesyou]

[blacstarz]

icic... tink i nidda head back to the shop to ask oredi.... cos no matter wat rpm i set to the needle will jump here and there esp during when its not warmed up... after warmed up its a bit beta... but still will jump here and there a bit... slightly... idling jus dun feel right for me....

[blacstarz]

i believe all old bikes will have prob , its just that whether its major prob or wear tear prob . its the passion that we keep us going !!!

too many prob !! hahaha

[aaronlovesyou]

Hahaha die. I hope

mine won't give me problems.. My old sp gve me enough lol

[kaznad]

I think that the yellow stuff is the silicone that they use to seal the CDI, if the temp gets too hot, it will melt and leak one... I may be wrong but I dun think it should affect anything as I had a fren who changed new CDI and still leaked, however since you're having idling rate issues it may be related to the CDI also. Maybe you should get a good mechanic to check it out...

I have a 21yr old cbr400rrl and I dun have any problems...

 

Anyway most common problem for ANY CBR400 would be electrical problems and problems with the Coolant System. The rest is wear and tear issues...

[haoKR]

now there's a aftermarket header for cbr400. i think should be tyga header where it's 4-1 instead of 4-2-1. the whole piece is chrome in colour.

 

legal ah.haha

 

Hi, Thanks for the advise. Tried before, even after squeeze out the air cannot fit it... The Arai raincoat quite big one...

 

Can pass inspection with these aftermarket headers (SS Chrome)?

I haven seen headers for NC29 from Tyga, only know they produce headers for NC35.

Could you post a link for us... Thanks...

Wun it be too hot when it's not raining?

Actually for myself I change at 5000km also, but then I think 6000km should be ok also... It really depends on your riding style, if you are someone who rides aggressively all the time, go thru the revs all the time, change EO every 5000km also not enough...

If I'm not wrong, CDI is the one responsible for the firing order of the spark plugs, for NC29 the order is 1-2-4-3 so if the CDI is faulty the timing may not be correct so that can cause the idling rate to be unstable as well?

 

EDIT: But then It's quite rare that CDI spoil lah, so I would wait and check for everything else before I change the CDI... Bikeshops want to earn your money, sure they will ask you to change this and that without properly checking.... I remember reading a list of things to check for pertaining to idling rate.... I'll post it once I find it...
