Version R : comes wif original rect. headlight n cowling ...

Throw away or paste a masking tape over the fuel gauge, it's almost useless. :|

At least in my case. After a unfortunate accident, the gauge becomes more haywire.

 

If u wanna know wats ur fuel consumption, just top up the tank to full. Ride until half tank or almost empty, then top up to full again.

Divide the mileage you covered by the litres you top up, you will get your fuel consumption.

Ver S full tank is 18L, so just multiply your mileage by 18. Simple as that.

 

Read somewhere if you ride at 60km'hr, 1 litre supposed to be ard 35Km.

But strange, the Spec 3 handbook says Spec 3 is 37 per Litre if u go at 60km/hr.

 

Whatever, I think Ver S is a good bike. Whoever agree, please go and take a look at your carpark. U know it's a damn right choice!

 

 

 

Hi,

 

Can advise where to buy the english CB400 spec 3 service manual? Mine is in japanese.

 

Thanks in advance

[bgoy]

Intending to get a PB1 v soon

but i heard e fuel consumption of PB1 is worse than version S or R

is there any truth in this rumour?

 

i noticed that PB1 has no balancers visible...so isit in built then?

 

an FN plate for around 2.5k isit worth it?

 

btw why do u guys install e 3 pt crash bar?

i tried riding one wif that and i cant seem to grip e tank properly hehe

 

many qns here, hope u guys can help me

juz dun wanna be a carrot like my 2B time

many thanks

i'll pay it forward one day

[blood_red]

balancers is which one ah??

[shahrul_azmil3]

bgoy ... here's my reply

 

my uncle rides a pb1 and i ride a version S ... both rides got my name and his name in it .....

 

pb1 do have balancers ... every s4 have balancers ... pb1 is much more heavy on the handle ... good for touring ... fuel wise it totally the same as a version s n r .... it much more smooth ... belive it .... total smoothness .... i dun no y but version s n r a bit rough ....

 

Y we install a 3 point crash bar ?? more nicer i suppose ... i know feels a bit odd at first but as time goes by ... u get the hang of it ...

 

but if u like comfi ..... juz buy the 2 point crashbar will do ... pls do install one coz bike drop save from scratch the engine parts ....

[bgoy]

hi bro shahrul

 

i tink when u say pb1 is more heavy on the handle means e balancer is built into e handlebar right? cos i dun see any balancers sticking out at the edge of the handlebar like most bikes

 

yeah i tink i'll get a crashbar if i get s4 cos i can see its importance man

 

most s4s i see have a small crashbar juz at the front of the bike, those crash bars came with the bike i suppose

 

one last thing, when i started the PB1 at the shop, the response dosen seem smooth, as in when i throttle a bit, there's like a little bit of lag, is this normal?

but when i throttle a lot, there is no prob

is this normal?

 

thanks once again, hope to get my bike by this week!

[shahrul_azmil3]

maybe it's cold ....

 

---->> BEWARE there's not suppose to be a lag ....

 

maybe the settings not right or throttle cable or something bigger .... i have not face this problem so pls do ask around .....

 

it's been a long time since i look at my uncle's bike but what i know that s4 there's no build in balancers ... juz that the balancers are different from some models .... but all models do have balancers rest assured ..

 

non v tec s4 does not come with any crashbar ... u have to buy it ... if u are lucky u get it from the previous owner ....

 

bro ... don't rush buying a non v tec s4 ... coz non v tec usually old bike already .... do go see around other shops ...

 

anyways ... i dun think it's becoz of the balancers that makes the handle much more heavy ... i think it's made that way for that model ...

2 me stock balancers make to diff other then juz eliminate some vibration ...

 

cost of fq plate should not go higher then $3800 plus minus ..... so go do the maths .... cheap does not means better ... it will all rolls back to u on repairs .... but also expensive old bike does not mean good too ...

u still have to look out for wear n tear ....

 

paintwork wise .... if it's dull u could ask for free paintjob of ur choice ...

asphoon n m1 does give free paintjob for old dull bikes .... no black n white ...

 

most importantly check your

 

showa suspension

fork

3 brake disk

tyres (u can't ask for a new ones but u can opt to change tyre with the other s4 over there)

of coz the engine parts (this bring along more lau jio with u. i also dun know)

 

hopes this helps .......

[shahrul_azmil3]

to blood_red

 

1) the tick2 sould when starting should have ... all bikes have ... it should disapper once it's hot ... if really ur timing chain n valve .. i think 200 ok ok ar ....

 

2) alamak bro ... sori ar ... i thought brake pad ... so this one i dun know

 

3) laying the disk meaning cutting some of it then = thinner disk ... better get new ones rite .....

 

4) Lim Ah Boy ... cheap2 ....

 

5) suspension wise ... hrm .. what i know here got 2 ppl selling thier used showa suspension for $280 below .... 2 me ... 2nd hand original expensive suspension much more better then new cheap suspension ...

 

6) wah ..... straight to the chroming shop meaning u got to strip down ur parts urself .... not a good idea .... if some parts lost ... how .?? $$ come out again .... but when i passing going to LAB .... there's one shop displaying lost of chrome car parts ... maybe they are showing that they do chroming ... ?? who knows ......

 

 

go jb with me ar ??? maybe lar bro juz maybe ......

 

glad to help

[blood_red]

1) yup, the engine tik-tik sound will dissapear once warm up...

 

2) & 3) went to sanfu today to chk out this 2 stuff... the mech there told me no need lah...mine still gd cond...may b the previous shop wanna makan some of my $.... sial.....
