Yep thanks for the info...i'll only be lookin for one near the end of the year. So maybe sum newer bikes will be up then on 2nd hand...and am very sunsure about all the FT FQ thingy so dunno about the yers and stuff...am more of a car guy

 

Anyway most pob will be lookin for sth with termi exhausts...they just look so hot on.

 

Also heard 400cc can be upbore or ssth to 600?? Izzit so?? Can pass inspection huh?

yes it can rebored but are u willing to fork out abt 4k for the procedure+various parts. this price was quoted by minerva. dont see how it'll fail the inspection where everything looks/sounds almost standard.

 

i think you're better off getting the 900/1000 when u have cl2 if u are really considering a rebore. no pt wasting so much money for so little gain.

 

the termis look great but are costly. also consider the hoards of other muffler manufacturers or even 2nd hand ones .

Yo bro,

 

I think its not worth to spend so much $ to big bore the M400. Power gain would be minimal and your fuel economy would be much much worse.

 

During inspection, they dont measure your pistons/engine blocks. Therefore, you wouldnt have any problem passing it.

 

Termis sound damn nice, so is the price though. Hehe..

 

To me, the M400 is fantastic bike, sure miss it.

 

To others, its styling and performance is subjective.

hi pal,

 

My 999 is having this problem. EOBD light always light up only in 1st gear when the engine is hot. Is this normal??

Did any duke owner encounted this problem??

 

Thanks.

[obitrok]

yep its normal. the various sensors pick up alot of inputs, even the most minute issue will cause it to come on. too hot/cold will come on. usually it will disppear after bits of riding. only if it remains then u should worry.

 

once i changed my ECU (to accomodate the termis), the EOBD light no longer appeared. think they rectified the issue with later model ECUs

Black exhausts! I thought its tiatanium? And the sound is WOW! Saw a 914 too, on my way home. I think the 999 looks better!

Thanks

for the 1st 1000km servicing, an oil filter and oil change will be done. abt $100.

(no labour charges this time but come to the 5000km change, an extra 20 will be charged.)

 

 

funny thing is that they will change to fully syn oil whereas semi syn/mineral oil should be used during the breaking in period. you might want to request for semi syn/mineral oil to be used tho. cheers!

:cry:

Went to service my 999 last week. And they told me that my instrument panel got problem. They can't reset(turn off) my maintenance icon.

 

The result is that I have to change my panel. Did any you guys have this problem??
