GSX400RR Riders

[Yatz86]

hm...its relatively cheap...can say cheapest among all the 2A...4 me this bike is a transition bike between 2b n class 2...anyway maintanence among all the class 2a sportsbike is relatively the same....but u dont feel like a heavy loss when u sell this 2a bike..this bike is fast n has a loud stock pipe...

 

only con is the posture which is 2 extreme but if u are tall den this bike no problem...yeap when cruising at N/S highway also no problem...

[Gr4vity]

hihi..

 

currently i am riding an sp but taking 2A then like all people who change classes i dunno which bike is more suited for mi..

 

i mean all bikes are good its juz wat u r looking for..

 

so i wanna ask u all wat are the pros and cons of gsx400.. coz after all 10 year bike still got people ride sure got its good points rite???

 

anyone can help

 

like what yat said...this bike is one of the cheapest sportsbike u can get for class 2a...its horsepower is also one of the highest among the 2a sportsbike...i do agree that the riding posture is abit xiong for long journey..but if u are a sportsbike lover u won't mind the riding posture...for more pros of this bike..i'm sure alot of pple here can tell u that

 

as for the cons in my personal opinion...i noticed that comparing suzuki and honda...suzuki parts cost more than honda's part...so thats one thing that u might want to think about..if u are someone that likes to zhng ur bike..so far there's not much legal zhng i can think of for this bike..exhaust only stock(but the stock pipe got a damn nice sound)...no K&N air filter for this bike..need to modify from gsxr750...common problem for this bike = CDI quite vunerable...electric wiring also quite problematic...other then that..i think this bike is worth the buy

[Yatz86]

yeap...i cover CDI with orange cloth....took from my storeman...so far nothing serious happen 2 it...the cloth able to absorb rainwater seeping in...the power of the saf orange cloth..lol

[shirin_turbo]

lol shirin got money mind...but its true...sell the good parts 2 us so we could get it...better than it laying around d scrapyard

 

but i say so uh but i still scrap my bike i tink i lazy to wait lol my corn rod gone case piston chg now corn rod if i spelt it correctly lol.. when my bike move sounds like one machine gun man:gun: lol.. sad sad

 

another 1k might as well i scrap i am already getting sick of my ride lol...

[iggi3z]

well from wat i calculate if u sell ya parts individually u can earn like 1k plus bro lol..

 

cause like the valve in the engine cost $100 per umbrella if it has 8 in it will be like $800, then speedometer $80, radiator $80, collant hoses make it $60 for all? cause new ones are $160, piston n block n all maybe $300?, fuel tank $50, rims n tyres front n back $150 if rims only $100 for front n back?, disc n rotors $150, yA fork $80,exhaust $50, carb $100 n well those small thing round off to $200wahhaa see it can be more then $500..

 

well if wat i can say u sell seperatly lor bro, but well the cash that comes to u will be slower cause u need to wait for buyers lor thats the only bad point but the turn over is great dude!

 

 

omg.. im like a total mechanic noob.. i bet the only thing i know how to take out is the exhaust.. lol... bo bian.. dunno how to operate on my bike..

 

unless u wanna buy the bike from me for $500.. then u go invest..

 

otherwise i think i'm heading down this weekend to salvage some of my accessories and personel stuff in my seat.. hopefully my leg recovers well enuff.. im still limping like mas selamat.. !@#!@%!...

so i wanna ask u all wat are the pros and cons of gsx400.. coz after all 10 year bike still got people ride sure got its good points rite???

Lets start with the cons.

1. Its ****ing old. God only knows how many hands the bike has passed through, and if the previous owner is a moron who doesnt know how to maintain his bike. If you got one that is in an immaculate condition, then good for you. But if you got one that looks good but feels like ****, you would be looking at a huge money pit that longs for your money.

2. Standard parts are hard to find, and aftermarket parts are basically non-existant. There are no aftermarket exhausts available for this bike. Not to scare you, but let me mention that the rear suspension CANNOT be rebuilt as it is welded together. And the exhaust would take some work if you wish to reline the internalss since its welded shut, instead of being secured by rivets.

 

Pros:

1. Its fast. Faster than a CB400. It can also cruise happily at 160kph without overheating, thanks to its ****ing huge radiator. There needs to be a showdown with all the available 400 faired bikes, i think, from the CBR400, GSX400R, RVF400 and the ZX4R. The RVF would seem out of place, since it has a V4 engine instead of an Inline4 engine like the others.

2. Its cheap. The g4 averages as a lower price than some 2b bikes even. But kindly take a look at point 1 of cons.

 

If you found one that is to your liking, do ensure that the COE extension period is 10 years, not 5 years. if you got one thats on 5 years, you sir, are seriously ****ed.

 

welcome to the club.

 

or not.

 

[Yatz86]

hehe....ya loh if overheat, just ride faster=)

[k3ndokaz3]

sry to RVF fan here...

but from wat i noe and tested alot of time

RVF is not tat fast if u compare with GSX

GSX might lose in mid range...

but pick up and high speed crusing..

i can tell u is gd...

mostly all the con is like wat spai_duhz post earlier

[LuckyThirteen]

Suzuki engine last long i think most g4 here are registered before 1995 but this bike still have performance and speed although this bike is old but can still give other newer 400cc sportsbikes a run for their money.

[Yatz86]

lol...yeap...can reach melaka without any problems...so its good 4 me=)

hmm..actually i think our G4 pick up sucks..LOL!!...CBR400 and RVF pick up can win us anytime...but i do agree our top range is good

[chawanmushi]

alan quoted me 500 bucks for a blue/white and a little BIT of black including stickers. said that its gd paint... worth it ? the theme will be the K8 1000.

 

ridiing a gsxr400.

Try each of the steps in numerical order untill success.

1. Try unplugging ure fuse, blown fuse sometimes low batt. Cheap only nia 50cents

 

2. Send back to planet & get ure battery recharged. Ride it 4 a few days and observed.

 

3. Battery spoil replace battery. Ride it for a few days and observed.

 

4. Wah Jia lat u reach no.4, most likely eith coil or rectifier spoil, worst both spoil, get ready $500 to change these parts.
