[Discussion] Super Four General Enquiry Thread

[azman ibrahim]

i dun understand y ppl will go and buy those jacked-up prices S4 of previous spec, etc spec 2 and 3......

 

paying so much might as well spend a bit more for Revo, new technology, EFI, better material and quality, also must take into considerations like engine wear/tear, COE expiring date etc for used bikes.

 

Imagine how much u guys have spent n wasted..........

 

im not good at bikes prices. but i have a friend who bought a 2nd hand super 4 spec 3 a few yrs ago at 9 k. and he sold it last months and he get the same amount. maybe our bike prices never drop? anyway. i bought mine at 11.8 which was revo.i think its a good deal.

[SparkerS1]

its when S4 revo price increased around $3k and ppl jacked up prices of other specs.

 

my friends bought their 06 spec 3 at $11k OTR wifout insurance from shop. cannot imagine tat

1) I got honda to send it to me as a pdf, will upload it on the net and post it here for all to utilise in the coming days

2) To adjust time hold down both the buttons on the dash, after a few seconds it should start flashing, left button is hours right is minutes

To reset trip mileage press left button to toggle thru trip a or b then hold your finger on left button until it resets to 0

3) Make sure to pull the clutch all the way back before shifting up or down

 

What about the service manual for the different versions of CB400? You can get it as well?

COE high? only high since feb 2011, S4 price hike started in early 2009 when the jap yen increased. but ppl forget tat new revo has better material n better quality and newer technology.

[Rider Saje]

I wonder if the COE will go down after the elections..

I bought my FBB spec3 at one motorshop at Sims Drive. About 1 month ago. Spec3 are quite high in demand lately.

[MSDS]

I wonder if the COE will go down after the elections..

 

Quite unlikely leh... but still hope so...LOL

[engeto]

i dun understand y ppl will go and buy those jacked-up prices S4 of previous spec, etc spec 2 and 3......

 

paying so much might as well spend a bit more for Revo, new technology, EFI, better material and quality, also must take into considerations like engine wear/tear, COE expiring date etc for

In the first place, nobody want to waste money, thats for sure. But what can we do? We dont have any control in the motorbike prices unless our father own some motorshop or he is the big boss of LTA! Surely we wont go all over the island and every single motorshop here so as just not to 'waste our money' like u deemed so. Secondly its our choice that we still prefer the tried and proven carburettor powered Specs 1,2 and 3. And how many 2nd hand Revo u can find on the market compared to spec 1,2 and 3?? U wanna talk about us 'wasting our money' on our spec 1,2 and 3, how about the fuel consumption on ur beloved Revo??? So do not say as if we are wasting money and please do consider those who cant afford your new technology of Revo. Its about choice. We prefer carburettor powered bikes and u on new technology.

 

So i hope u understand now.

 

Cheers....

Pros and cons for both carbs and EFI. I still prefer carbs though...

Guys, need some help here..

 

When i just start my bike when it is cool, the voltage reading will go to 13.. but the moment i move.. it will drop down to an average of 11.7. Is that okay? What's the correct reading that i should be having? Whats the problem?

 

And i feel like no power when moving off.. Its like dying when i biting point and throttle as per normal.. i have to clutch in again.. throttle and gain some power den can move..

[Izammo]

hi guys, want to ask whether you all lube your clutch cable? i used to lube with singer oil on my rxz last time, strip down the whole cable and lube it, can i still do the same for the super 4? is it easy to take out the cable? cos my cable seems a bit rough when i pull.

 

another question is, when i am in neutral and not depressing the clutch lever, there will be a bassy sound like washing machine but of course it's softer, from the engine, is that normal?

I dun lube cos i dunno how to take out and fix it back. But if u know how to do, it is recomedded and if u dun mind, can teach me?

[SparkerS1]

how about the fuel consumption on ur beloved Revo??? So do not say as if we are wasting money and please do consider those who cant afford your new technology of Revo.

 

Just in case u wanna know about FC of Revo, it's around 20-24km/L depending on riding condition and technique, average i got is 22km/L.

 

u seems to be frustrated, are u being one of those who bought carb models S4 at jacked-up prices? Just asking, no hard feelings.
