do u mean after running the engine for sometime or during warm up?

yo, i don't understand, whats the difference between this revo cb400 and spec 3 super 4 cb400?

Spec 3 uses carbs, revo is fuel injected

Spec 3 is older, revo is newer

I think the bike itself got some changes but I'm not sure how many and what they are.

[Pluvius]

I read from reviews that FI may not necessarily be better than carb in terms of fuel efficiency.Take for example Pulsar DTS 220 FI and DTS 220 i. The Indians are very happy with the carb version of DTS 220 because of its fuel efficiency.

 

I wonder if this applies to revo and super 4 too.

I heard they incorporate "revo" technology but don't have the slightest idea of what is it about.

Hmmm would you like to take a look at its idling or throttle cable? I'm not a Revo owner, but very curious that pple claim its "problematic".

[bntyl]

maybe you have to warm it up first?

i've heard revo got this warm-up technology. not really too sure what it does also.

sorry cant help much.

Em this happen to my yamaha X1R, for mine is tt the chain wear out already... so for urs u might wan to look into this also? jus my 5cents thought:)

[epul1986]

GUYS!!! help me!! aiiiyyyyooo....ive found out the cause of having a jerking moving off like when your doing a low speed throttle control the bike is jerking like hell due to the throttle sensor on your left hand below the tank..ive tried sealing it with silicone so water cant slip through but its not werking..hmmm feel like giving up on revo sia..hmmm any comment guys??

 

or feel free to msg or call me aite

@97471642 may b we could mit up n discuss

[psychokid_88]

how to tell whether its first batch revo ? mine is FBC plate.. niways for me sometimes i get that jerking. but thats because engine haven warm up properly. usually after warming up properly the bike would not jerk at low speed throttle.

[SparkerS1]

slow moving is about throttle control, go easy wif the throttle, mine last time also first batch de, no jerking problem

[mild_slevin]

I came across a forum, they discuss about low speed jerking... you can try checking your chain slack, adjust if require and monitor the situation.

errrmmm...ive tried ahh tat, infact i tink revo is so allergic to water hahahaks sori revoians, ive to comment bad on tiz one..mine was the first model...should b the fbc plate...u see the pgmfi cover tat is to cover the fi throttle sensor have the opening facing towards the direction on riding...so lets say if its a rainy weather water can slip through if your unlucky enuff...my suggestion is to cover all electrical conector wif wire tape..coz any one of it got short curcuit all will go haywire...tat is all i can suggest but on the brighter side revo is so good in pickups v-tec engage so smoothly..fyi u guys can add STP fuel injector cleaner for better performance and FC..im staying jurong n werking in airport n i could easily get 400clicks before reserve maintaining spedd at 90-100km/h due to left with 2 merit point hahahaks..my bad, well hope u revoians having a good time with yours bike w/o any prob..

my bike (non CB400SF) its TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) was expose too. But luckily there's a plastic shield, else u can try rubber sleeve. STP injector cleaner, my colleague used on his old vehicle he see a significant improvement in FC. But you need to top it during each pump. Still CB400SF has a nice "melody".

[mild_slevin]

I would say that CB400SF is a successful model, good transport in small sillypore. Yet doesn't hurt your pocket much.

[epul1986]

sillypore ?? hahahaks good one i like tat...hopefully no gantry at changi motorsport hub huh..hahahaks

[psychokid_88]

successful ur right man. so many different versions already and still continuing !!

[shykaru]

wandering how much is the new revo now cost.. and the 2nd hand value of it.. since the japanese are lowering their price for their local models.
