In my opinion.....Its not tat the tank is big....is the design of the tank.....if u were to look at it from top view...its kinda...rectangular in shape....Whereas CBR/RVF....is kinda rounded/oval.....plus the tank area which is near to your upper thigh...is kinda sloping down....therefore it doesnt feel like its obstructing yur movement in the alboe area....when u're doin a turn or cornering....Nevertheless......the length of the handle bar is the same for all bikes...and if u were to make a corner i dnt tink yur arc/angle of turn is tat much....that would be diff for u to turn....(tis is in view of a rider who is abt 1.5-1.6m in height)....those tat is taller i dnt tink they wld haf prbs handling the bike irregardless of the size of the tank.....

hahaa.... thanks for this. But i didn't log on for ages and i didn't change this.. LOL

[Gixxer-Babe]

wah.. now so many new nicks...

 

Ice Ice, when are you free to org outing ar? It's been a LONG LONG time since our last outing leh...

[claurene]

amazing. thank you guys for being so informative.

 

I'm also looking at changing my own plugs.. but.. seriously I'm really hopeless at practical know-how. So hoping to meet up and perhaps learn it someday.

 

Naz.. that is exactly what the mech told me also.. haha.. not to warm up and just ride off. Didn't know why though, so thanks for the explanation. I try to keep it below 3k rev..

 

Er.. care to change plugs together? Really would like to know how to ah. But according to the mech, "It's gonna be really difficult! G4 is one of the most difficult bikes to change the spark plugs! *goes on to give me his shocked expression*"

changing our G4 plug very easy, just take out the middle farring will do, no need to take out the petrol tank but make sure ure engine is cool. before u change ure plug make sure u blow off the sand n dirt around the plug cap.

Hmm.. just to share my experience on my first time riding the G4.

 

Thoughts:

 

1. Freaking scary!

2. Keep getting muscle cramps in my legs!

3. Freaking far handlebars!

4. Cornering feels weird!

 

7 months into riding it...

 

Still getting muscle cramps BUT this bike is easy to manoeuver in heavy traffic, and it's compact enough, wheel base is short enough to squeeze through the narrowest gaps..

 

And the cornering is heavenly. It just feels so natural.. and fun too, of course.

 

Hmm what else? Oh and prepare a wad of cash to replace the wear and tear parts. It being old, don't scrimp and save on things that need to be repaired.. Treat it right and enjoy the ride..

hey hey, changing of plugs no need to take out anything 1.

special thanks to the plug removal tool by shawn.

nothing can be easier heh heh

Hello....another potential Gixxer herer...any tips to recommend in viewing 2nd hand bikes like what and how to check out and so on? Common problems? Input is greatly appreciated.

 

Are parts expensive ?

[Naz]

and don forget u can rest ur elbows comfortably and confidently while riding with one hand..

 

Parts are definitely not as expensive as an RVF V4 monster.

 

Of course, u have to make up for it with the frequency compared to CBR or the RVFs.

 

It will still be cheaper to rebuild (unless if you're talking about a shot cam or crankshaft) than buying either of those two above.

one more thing, good abt g4 is can tabao food and tied the packet to the fairring stay metal bar. :cheeky:

 

G_S_J: buying g4 can be a gamble if u dun do yourhome work well enuff. coz this bike is out on the road for quite sometimes(min 10 yrs) so u can't really expect no problem on the bike.

 

wat u can do is to do a brief check on e chain, tire, engine idling sounds, any misalignment on the wheels, frames, and fork oil leakage, any exposed wirings(are they properly taped/covered), as most of the time bike cannot be started becoz of electrical issues. that's all i can roughly cover.

Frequency as in clocking in what mileage is prefered before servicing? how much do your spent for each full servicing (AIr filter, oil change, brake fluid, brake pad, on and off items ) on the average i meant....

Firstly, what u meant by g4? Are there other models? How to check for the model?

 

being a reasonable person, i understand there bound to be problems for second hand bikes ( not all ) but nevertheless, i try not to compromise my life with a second hand bike, moreover, a sports bike.

 

Thats y i am doing my homework now, with your being my tutor

 

Wiring seems to be very messy and very expose to rain and most of the time, bikes are down due to water sipping / raining. Normal checking should be fine with me as i do up my own bike as well but some things are hard to tell. Had an experience with a second hand bike with clutch cable snapping after 2 weeks.....think its pure bad luck...

Air Filter = $38

Oil Filter = $16

Oil = $9/Bottle Fuchs Comp 4

Brake Fluid = ( u shouldnt ask me this. U've ridden a bike before, u ought to know the freq )

Brake Pad = SBS @ $25/pair. Ferrodo @ $12/pair (LAB)

 

Change oil and filter every 2 months.

 

Do read up on the previous pages especially the first 100.

 

Thats what I did before I set my mind on the G4.

 

G4 is what these riders call the GSXR400s. I am just following the tradition

Food can hang at the mirrors bro. Good enough cos stock has two bolts on one mirror

 

Fairing stay for heavier items like 5 bottles of EO I bought last time. And the flat surfaces hold up well and the bottles stay put during cornering
