[okl]

hello peeps,

 

just bought a gsxr400 and overall speaking i think its a good purchase. pleased to join you guys as well (hope im in the right thread though).

 

however, there are a few basic things i wanna ask for basic maintenance stuff and i know they're not properly phrased, but just help wherever u can =D

 

1. i noticed there is no fuel gauge on the gsxr400, im fine with that but i just need to know how far it can go on a full tank.

 

2. still on the fuel gauge thing- no way one can be installed on the gsxr400?

 

3. my bike before this is an sp and the idling screw is easily located- where is the idling screw for the gsxr400?

 

4. issit just me or does the gsxr perform poorly at low speeds? my 3/4/5 gear seems to be travelling at the nearly the same range of speed, but when it hits 6th gear, it seems like i can throttle it forever without really hitting 'resistance'.

 

5. had alot of feedback from friends saying that gsxr400 is a problematic bike, particularly in terms of wiring. i hope you guys can give me some examples of what they are.

 

thanks alot guys.

halo okl,

welcome to the fantasy of G4.

 

let me help up of ur question...

 

1.the average fc for g4 is ard230-270km(17liter)* n reserve can go up to 30km.actualli for g4 its eazi to check...u can juz open the tank cap.if drain tat mean its time to pump*

 

2.yes..its possible...but its not worth it as u noe ur bike FC.

 

3.the idling in juz below/under the oiltank..u juz place ur hand inside between carb n oiltank...try to feel.u gt wat i mean?

 

4.as tis bike is more den 10yr old...of coz gt prob..but depend how u ride.honestly it quite hard to find a gd condition G4.

most common prob is-rectifier,starter,wiring,cdi(if u suay*)

 

as long as u change ur EO on time n wear n tear stuff..shouldnt b a prob...do ask if u still need any help.Enjoy ur ride... burn the rubber nt ur soul

$65 inclusive of everything, gasket and coolant as well, I think its cheaper than own self DIY. Basically the shims hardly worn out, its reusable, so Guan Hoe just swap the correct shim size from his workshop with your bike to get the correct spec.

 

The shim if you buy on your own cost $8 per shim, imagine a total of 16 shims on the G4. The valve cover gasket already cost $38 and coolant change somemore leh. $65 is very worth spending.

 

I'll be doing mine next month, as I'll going U.S for a week then.

 

 

Izzit becos you know the lao ban that y so cheap if not i also wanna go and do leh......Anyone can tell me where and their number cos all i know you guys always mention is somewher in paya lebar industrial but eactly wher is not much mention...

rev to 8k rpm throw clutch, when front wheel lifts off, try to maintain ur throttle control.

 

this is when it is stationary. when it is on the move.. hmm.. not quite possible

hi,i'm a newbie.....heard alot about G4.kind of interested in it and wanting to get newer ones rather than those older one..also ppl say that S4 can easily let G4 smell smoke,issit true?.projectgsxr,u seem very knowledgeable bout bikes,r u a mech?just asking cos curious...just my 2 cents

G4 itself is an old bike i must admit. but with TLC and luck, u can get one that is worth its while..

 

I'm not a mech and I'm not very knowledgeable.. There are many out there who are much more knowledgeable than me. I'll help where i can.. I'm still a learner... I'm still learning every min..

 

abt ur G4 and S4, both has got their limits. Both are designed to work differently.. Smoke out here and there, There will still be other bikes that come along and overtake u.

 

I presume u havent heard a Honda wave track time faster than R1? not that any bike sucks butt its the rider's skill. There are many factors to consider...

 

hope this ans ur qn? peace!

Go to Dunlop St. there is a back alley once u enter dunlop St. There is a motor shop called Mah Motor. there will be a fat uncle (mech) ask him abt it. he will sell u. I got mine at $1, think u can bargain if u buy 3, fuel gauge can change also.

 

Ah boy selling on for $0.50 but always fuse one.
