May I know what is cdi and rectifier?

FL plate is roughly how old the bike? must be quite old because I am riding a 2 year phantom with FW plate

put it this way cdi is the device that control the spark plug electrical ignition so that engine can start running and rectifer is some crappy metal that convert dc to ac current or vice versa from the charging electricity from magnetic coil to your battery.

 

as for FL, it is supposed to be a 1994 plate.

just to add in... CDI = capacitor discharge ignition ( i think so) function is to sequence the firing order of the 4 spark plugs. As for the rectifier its function is to convert ac to dc current...becos the magneto in our bikes produce only ac current thus all bikes require a recitifer to convert ac to dc for the electrical components.

FL plater 1994 should be gsxrrp or rn model huh?

do you guys think the difference between 53 and 59 hp is significant?

if its late 1994, shud be RP model...

 

i suppose the difference of 53bhp and 59bhp can be felt...

 

However if referring to the difference to the pre-1993/1993's 59 and post-1993's 53 of gsxr400, my guess is that it might not show up as longer engine wear and tear of the pre-1993/1993's 59 unrestricted model might jus offset its greater torque

 

haha jus my thoughts

 

 

[IceZ]

ferrous right

 

RN model is FK/FL plate...

 

yah..i use to ride RN model...n i've also tried RP...

i feel tat RN gt no low range..but mid range n high end is powerful.

[Ah_KiAt]

oooohhh.....my ex bike...i miss it so much.....sighZ...a regret in letting it off....haiixxx.......

by the way bros...going army le...tekong...hope to see all my gixxer bro here once againzz......

take care , enjoy yourself , have fun!

LASTLY ride safe!

[yctradingsg]

so means that the rp model aint that effective at mid range torque and high end huh?

damned......was thinking of buying over one rp model...hmmm

made me change my mind......or should i get a rvf? very torn between these 2

[yctradingsg]

coz actually i want to get a 400 for track....no $ to tahan 600 liao

but damned scared of gixxer already. used to ride one.....threw it away after 2 months coz it kept giving me problems.......

then like that is it better to have a mech check a prospective g4 before buying?

-_-" /ignore

 

just stating my opinion.. to make u happy...

 

MAIN POINT:- best to put some aside cash for the common wear n tear parts which might hav to be changed if there is a problem. If there is no problem, then thats gd.. jus like my babe. =)

 

hope i hav painted a clearer picture so others might not think otherwise.

rvf, its so much expensive than g4 and from what i know, rvf also start to rust liao. Problem with rvf are rising.

ani 1 went to decarbon the header b4?

 

tat day i took out the end can and use a screw driver and scrub abit of the collector there. there quite an amount of solid carbon flyin out when i swtart my engine.

 

so i guess tat the high rev = clear carbon theory not true...its not doin any help leh.

 

 

btw seng kwang gt help build new header?

[yctradingsg]

ya....that's what i'm afraid of. even if i get a FS rvf, problems of wear and tear should be coming liao. hmm.... i'm so swayed towards a gixxer. I just love the raw power sound....

[TnT]

see you guys tonite at Kallang KFC at 7.30pm.....

 

long time din log in liao...Quite buzy with my new job.

[mickccm]

hey.. can't mit u guys tonite at the KFC Liao.. coz i have to wrk.. unless u guys are staying out till after 4 hahahaa.. coz i finish wrk at 4...

Is it leaking like it is peeing? Most likely your float is dirty or spoilt liao tt's why the spring is unable to bounce back and trap the petrol from flowing out. Each float set is cost ard $35/= for ya info.

maybe dun need to change a new float. there r others here who has the same prob, but the mech juz help them wash off the dirt trapped in the float spring and it's fine again.

Mine is late FK plate, RP model too. Vey fast pick up, top end never tried, only did a short blast once at 180km/h with you guys last time.

 

In fact this 400 cc accelerates faster than my 750cc maybe the power to weight ratio. My old 750 weighs over 220kg with 90hp (dyno at the rear wheel).

 

Power to weight ratio

750WP 90/220 = 0.49

400RP 53/169 = 0.31

Mine is FW plate 125 typhoon, 3.5 years on the road only, manufacture in 1995 though but kept in the shop (no buyers then) until 2002 dec then register and put on the road.

veri likely to be spoil leh.. cos juz did servicing of carb 3 mths ago .

 

btw if float spoil muz change in a set of 4 ? cannot juz change 1 float?

 

dam if change in a set it cost alot sia... $200 for the repair...

 

 

wads will happen if i dun repair ? no side effect except leaking petrol ?
