GSX400RR Riders

[glass_jelly]

**;5460271']hope more ppl can come out gather haha ... like no gathering since i join this forum =(

 

hmm.. ok... mayb can post a meet out here...

 

 

Not necessary. Depends on the rider actually how they maintained the bike. What I mean is wear and tear..etc.etc. For me Gsx4 is easy to maintain then class 2B. Used to ride kr. Very troublesome with installments, 2t, very regular servicing, go up and down jb shop to repair and so on. After I took over gsx4, it lightens my burden. Can spent more on other stuff rather than the bike. Rule of thumb, as long as bike has no prob and is up and running, no need to change here and there.

 

hmm.. tat wat e mech at guan hoe say to mi... mine so far so gd.. hmm.. thinking of getting a new paintwerk....

 

 

btw, smallBIKER looking for cls2a bike ah? gd luck. hope to see you as a one of us here soon. Gsx4 is cheap and easily maintenance rather than other sports bike. The price is right and the power is there.

You can get from Vector one at mah motor parts next to sim lim tower, look for Benard.

but top end i love my gsxr 180km/h and its like only at 9k rpm... redline is 16 .... gsxr top end is damn good dats 4 sure though

[taaouicha]

If u guys doing a meet up do tell lah i wanna crash it lol ... looking for ways to solve my gsxr electrical problem for good and plan to spend a bit on my 2a wife by upgrading parts in her

hmm...y not send down to guan hoe for rewiring...should cost around $300...u also can replace ur rectifier there...and 9k rpm 180km/hr...thats pretty low rpm..do u suffer on ur pickup? coz i believe u are using a smaller rear sprocket right..how many teeth?

[taaouicha]

will check how mant teeth, but yea at traffic light stop the pick up seems average onli the bike picks up a lot better at say 30km/h ++ -> 100++ compared to moving off from rest .

yea i likethe bike a lot but after reading from online forums etc the bike seems to have many reasons to give problem =/

im getting my rectifier replaced today and hopefully that would be the end of the problems lol but i think soon i'll send it for rewiring as some of the wires seem to have copper rust on it ( ugly green rust) >.

[josh87]

u tong urs?...super loud right? anyway how u do it?

 

i think super loud doesn't fit lol. if rev at carpark and u stand beside the bike, you ear also pain.

 

basically, cut open the exhaust, remove all the crap inside. roll up chicken coop wire, or a perforated steel sheet into a cylinder 2" wide, 30-40 odd " long ( cant remember already). slot it in and stuff the sides with steel wool or some inflammable fibers. reassemble and weld back.

 

will try to take a video of it in action

Hi bros, juz 3 days back i got an gsx 400 the sports model. BTW it is a FK plate. Iam facing a major problem on it. Engine tends to loose power and goes off on its own. If start again then it get started but again dies off in few seconds. Symptoms noticed before engine dies off is like jerks as if there is a block some where. Iam worried because juz did a full service at the bikes shop at the point of transfering ownership.

Please advice if u noe wats really wrong wif it? and btw wer do u all service ur gsx....

 

Another stuf i notice is Bike tends to heated up very soon, even after enough warm up before i start. Can feel it on the tank oso.....

 

Plz advice if u guys are aware of tis........thx in advance

[josh87]

wah..then how u DIY when u need to weld back?

 

because my office has a welder? and i did it myself.

 

haha anway, you can juz finish the end can 1st, then send a shop that does welding or go msia and weld. or i could do it for you if you trust my welding

if it dies when its on the move like no power even though ure opening throttle (stalling on the move) its likely due to battery not being charged properly(possibly rectifier)... and since its difficult to start or wont start after its cause yr battery cant supply enough power to yer starter motor to start the bike..

did u try to off yr headlight when trying to restart the bike ?

i had this problem on my gsxr... sucks at hell trying to find the root cause of the problem...

[taaouicha]

hi bros.. just obtained my cl2a recently.. havent decide which cl2a sportsbike to get.. but have thought of gsx 400.. bros what are the the most important things to look out for when choosing the bike? is there any specific type/model that is the best? or is there only one type of gsx? what is the machine price for a gsx 400?so that i wont kena chop..i must admit im NOT into racing but just curious whats the top speed for a stock gsx? bros thanks in advance..

 

electricals, check rectifier, startermotor, engine sound(timing chain) the carburator.

gsxr is an old bike mine is an fk plate so abt 18 yrs + on the road already but the bike sounds damn nice ( like a screaming b1t**) lol , in terms of top end if yr gixxer has no powercut then yea u could hit 230++.

Its a damn nice bike to ride its HEAVY and BIG im like 1.81m 75 kg so im having a blast on it compared to my krr which is like a toy bike to me.

To be honest theres no more 2a fairing sports bike in production and street bikes dont interest me at all lolXxX. The gsxr is also not a very common sight on the road so yea its nice owning one, just a piece of advice is that do have some cash in hand after buying one as if u get problems repair cost aint dat cheap(n parts are quite hard 2 get)

[josh87]
