i am not so sure if its a good idea for us to use 160 rear tyres.. i got comments that it affects pickup by quite abit.. and they are more costly..

 

i m using stock sizes on BT090.. very satisfied with the tyres cept i almost skidded once in the multi storey carpark on a rainy day..

 

i m not a trackie thou..

Changing from a 150 to a 160 rear does not and cannot in any way affect pickup of the bike. Whoever told you this has no idea what they are talking about. I have previously been running 165 width Bridgestone slick tyres on the track and they are fantastic. On the road I run 160 size Bridgestone 014 rears. They fit perfectly, give good handling and great contact patch on lean than a 150 ( I have tried both 150 and 160 section rears back to back and prefer the stability in corners of the 160).

 

The price difference between a 150 and a 160 section rear tyre is also only a few dollars at most.

 

Anyway each to their own.

Now seeing that pic I am sure I saw you at the dam the other time...

 

Personally I recommend K&T for servicing, especially for major things.

guys do u all haf problems wif the screw cracking the head fairing?

[batliwala]

Hi guys could not find the updated list for babyblades to add my name.I have been riding this bike CBR400RR for the last 3 days....and love it . Had to push start for the first day after battery died after failing to toggle the engine switch to RUN and kept cranking the engine repeatedly for 5-6 attempts. Idling speed was low and engine used to die at idling and I had to push start at places I failed to maintain throttle higher. Increased idling speed to around 1.5K and battery started to charge up like a charm, and no longer push starts. Is this setting correct.... sorry asking all newbie questions as I don't have any manual to refer to. Previous owner Arsenal83 has taken excellent care of this baby and I would love to take good care of it too.

 

Riding posture is entirely different from that of Phantom 200 the previous I used to ride and I am still using. Enjoying the rides on this bike, but hate the pain in hands/back after short runs. Did you guys have this problem initially, and is it common? Would love to join the babybladers if I am welcome to join the crowd. I am on lookout for CBR400RR manual .. Anyone helpful guy/gal over here to give me pointers to the location to download. Appreciate your help. BTW, I reside in Woodlands and a Spore PR (Indian National), in my mid thirties. Any outings at Yishun Damn and I will come Roarring like a Lion to have fun with you guys. Hey count me in......I love to meet people. More about me, when we all meet kekeke.. take care.

 

 

PS: PM me incase you need my contact.

seriiously i dunno.. mayb dat juz me.. haa

[rhema83]

My idling is 1200rpm when cold, 1400rpm when hot. 100km/h is about 6200rpm. If your sprockets are stock sizes, then check your chain slack.

 

I have the CBR400RR manual in soft copy. But it is really too large for me to send.

Yeah, Clifford is very busy. Even regulars need to call first. But I feel it's well worth the wait.

 

Anyway, the exhaust will sound louder as time goes by. After whacking so many times on track and 2nd Link, my exhaust growls!

if the idling is too low, there will be a negative charging on the battery if the headlight is ON, causing the bike to drain the battery during warming up. Normal idle speed should be 1300rpm +/-100. if you are riding a RRR model, you can install a headlight switch to manually off your headlight when you are warming up the bike, this would help, this really works as i have encountered the same problem before.

hi, anyone got spare set of cbr400 mirrors and signal casing for sale?

Rhema83, thanks for the information. Ok,I will check for the chain slack, but what should be the ideal play for the chain is it 0.8 inches?

 

I usually upload huge files on http://www.yousendit.com and share the link to d/l. If you have a fast connection and time to upload. Please send the link to me by PM or post it here, thanks.

1.5k RPM stationary is too high liao. i would suggest u go try turn the flower nut (rpm screw) anti clockwise to lower the idling to 1300~1400 when bike is hot. maybe u might encounter problem starting your bike/ keep on stalling when the bike is cold. Then your bike need a checkup. 1.5k is way too much, not good for the bike.

 

PS~ only tune the rpm screw when the bike started. The screw is somewhere near the reserve switch. A yellow? colour flower bolt.

anti clockwise is lower the rpm n clockwise is upla....
