welcome to the cbr club..... its just the beginning... enjoy ur ride

 

but i'll say this: once u iron out the probs, u'll love the bike. only prob is how long it takes to settle all the c***-ups!!!

 

[rhema83]

I agree. You gotta be able to part with some $$$ first before you can enjoy the NC29 to the fullest.

[razorblade41]

thx guys. beginning to love the ride. wanna do up the bike till its nice.

 

head lights are gone. other lights are working fine. the first switches on the signals in front so the light is always constant rite?(only the left is working...i dunnoe y) and the next level switches on the front lights(they are gone as well)

 

as for temp wise, how hot will the bike go on the meter?? becoz today when i rode it....it went until 3.4 of the temp meter....

well... i would suggest you to go to your bikeshop for "full body checkup"

 

my bike temperature will only reach 1/4 the most because the fan will on when hit 1/4. i just changed thermostat or fan switch(ah beng say 1).

 

maybe you can try to flush the coolant first and see if the temperature will go up anot. if still continue go up den i think will be your thermostat "lag" thus delaying the fan to on when the temperature is hot.

[Tronicans]

e nc- 29 is hell of a great bike to ride... e stock performance is alr a fulfiling experience... good stability n handling. when speed is concern i would say e blade is e best!!... touring on blade is also fun tailing e big machine at 160km/h to 180 km/hr not a prob.....

 

get e probs done up esp wiring... i did full wiring tt solved a lot of my wiring probs.

Agreed. While it may sound expensive, the total amount of $$$ you need to spend on existing problems will be about the same. It's better to have them fixed once and for all so that the mech won't have to take things apart multiple times. I suggest you go to a good and reliable mech (like Ah Beng of BikeWorkz or Clifford of K&T) to get all the problems solved.

 

I spent $1600 and two full days (literally, from shop open 9am to shop close at 9pm) to get my CBR400RR healthy. I am really loving the ride.

Actually if you just buy your bike, i think you can go back to the bike shop where u bought the bike.

They should sort of warrenty the bike for like the min 1 month.

If u buy from private seller, the best thing i think u can do is to do the bike slowly lor.

Try to do those things which are more important.

It depends bro..

 

If the shop never tell you they are giving you warranty or so, even if were to go back to the shop, they will charge you for repairs or anything. And this is the lesson i learnt from the first bike i get. Curse that shop. Haha.. Actually went to C.A.S.E. to report that shop, but its useless.

Good to see another CBR rider!

 

Sounds like the previous owner has neglected some repairs as they were planning to sell the bike anyway but the problems you are reporting are likely quite minor.

 

Radiator fan - this should not come on until the temp gauge is just about hitting red, if it comes on straight away when you turn the key it has been rewired incorrectly.

 

Headlights - the most common cause of problems is actually the wiring in the switch block on the left handle bar burning out. This happens once the bike gets a bit older and is made a common problem as everyone uses replacement bulbs that use more power than the standard ones so it burns the wires out inside the switch more quickly. If possible try plugging a friends switch block in and see if it fixes the problem, I bet it will

 

Probably also a good idea to flush out the radiator/cooling system and fill with fresh coolant to make sure it is working well, with a hot climate like ours this is very important.

 

To do all these items including replacing the switch block I would not expect to pay more than around $100.

can rev til redline?? all gears? 6th gear? if yes wats ur speedo showing? i know of blades touching 14k rpm but speedo is on til nippon seiko onli.. tts not high end... though it revs til 14k e speed is e same like many other blades who finish e nippon seiko but onli at 12.5k rpm... jus tt ur bike reaches e 14k rpm faster than e 12.5k rpm bike... tt wil probabbly result in a bit higher BHP!...

Doesn't really matter what the speedo is showing, over 100km/h the speedo gets less and less accurate. Different gearing will make bikes rev to different levels for the same speed though.

 

I haven't run my bike over here all the way out in top gear as there are no roads long enough or safe enough to do that kind of speed (without risking huge fines at least!!). I do run gears 1-2-3 out to redline and easily hit 130-140 on the speedo. How accurate it is I have no idea.

 

My CBR400 back home in Australia revs cleanly all the way to red line in every gear including 6th. As it is a race bike there is no speedo on the bike so I cannot say where the needle on the speedo would be.

 

What stops your bike from hitting redline in 6th gear is the standard gearing. If you lower your gearing you will have greater acceleration off the mark, more power down low where you need it riding around and will be able to hit the redline in top easily if that is what you want to do. Try a 14t front sprocket to replace your standard 15t one and you will appreciate the difference immediately.
