Generally, for soft run-in, the sequence is as such:

0-800km --- Mineral Oil

800-2000km --- Mineral Oil

2000- 3000km --- Mineral Oil

3000km onwards --- Fully/Semi Syn, up to individual

* Don't rev above 6000 RPM = Speed of at most 80-90km/h

 

Oh yar, your first oil change, remember to change the oil filter... after that its every alternate oil change.

In case you wanna know too, the stock spark plugs should last about 10,000km.

 

 

*Got this from one of the old postings*

[anric79]

Run in procedure is: go 80-90kmph and u cant go wrong .

0-800km ------ change engine oil (EO) lousy one can liao cos u had to change 3 times , this is what loois mechanic tell me one, they r quite famous for aftersales service pls believe me. ALSO change oil filter about 20 dollar.

 

800-2000km--------change EO( lousy one) cheap one can liao no need change oil filter.

 

2000-3000km------ Last time change EO(so this time change good EO) plus oil filter again..

 

 

then every second time change EO , u also must change oil filter..

[anric79]

Then when to change air filter (how many km then change ) air filter roughly how much for any brand??

6 months change/wash 1 time.

 

Stock Filter ? i don't know.

K&N Filter $80

BMC Filter $160

price around there.

[anric79]

i see u all alway mention STOCK ? stands for what ah?

[tori]

i'm thinking of changing my exhaust... read frm other post and they mention "micron" and "yoshi".... which one is better???

 

in terms of performance, what type of exhaust shld i go for?? Any idea where can get it done (reliable + cheap)....

[HondaSuperFourHSF]

Actually, for yoshi and micro. alot of people put it for cosmetic purpose only. There is actually not much impact for spec 1, 2 , 3 etc as we have the vtec. Changing the exhuast pipe maybe can just quickly allow more exhuast to escape from the chamber. This maybe abit impact only.

[kata_killer]

Y no 1 mention GPR? I think GPR r d cheapest among Yoshi n Mircon, interm of performance, GPR on S4 on Pick up is gd,but on top end, sian......

[Dscheng]

GPR is less popular, i suppose.. Micron Sound more fierce !

[HondaSuperFourHSF]

Ya you see only for the Brand. Cannot just look for brand must be product also. I will got for GPR if i need to change. As its good yet not expensive.

[anric79]

brother ask u 1 more thing,

 

what is end-can that i often see at the thread?

Is it exhaust pipe?

 

what is micron and yoshiurma? is it the different type of brand for exhaust pipe also?

 

after install micron or yoiushiuurma will it travel faster or only the sound better to hear only? we install for the sound only rite?

 

lastly howmuch both of them cost and where to get it?

[Guest quizesilver]

HSF, nice job there!

some things to add

 

cheers

 

20) HID Bulb- This kind of bulb is being approval by LTA do check their website

For HID bulb- best is to get those with 3750k and higher colour one as they are brighter. Also becareful of the voltage and current use- misuse will damage your headlight

 

 

38) VTEC

When does Vtec opens?

Vtec opens varies for different spec.

VTEC 1 = 6700 RPM

VTEC 2 = 6350 RPM

VTEC 3 = 6350 RPM for first 4 gear and 6750 RPM for the last gear.

 

12) Coolant ?

10000km or check bi-yearly(2 years once).

[Kinz]

how about knn air filter?? how long must wash once ah?

Only 1.6 litres and then the rest just top up your reserve for spec 2 and spec 3

In January 2002, HYPER VTEC evolved into Spec II aiming at letting everybody actually feel the power drive over the entire ranges. As one of the aims of Spec II development, it can be pointed out that the CB400 SUPER FOUR, the model on which the system was installed, is the one having a wide user class. There were voices to point out that beginners, in particular, were unable to fully utilize the four-valve stage from above the revolution range of 6,700. The development team then developed HYPER VTEC SPEC II anew to enable many more users to enjoy the four-valve stage of HYPER VTEC.

SPEC II achieved increasing torque in the middle speed range and smoother power by refining the valve timing, inteke and exhaust systems, and the valve switchover timing revolution from two to four valves was changed from 6,750rpm to 6,300rpm. It has resulted in powerful and sporty engines, enabling one to actually feel VTEC in all driving ranges from low to top. In December 2003, SPEC III was introduced. The switchover timing for a 6 speed only was changed from 6,300rpm to 6,750rpm to improve fuel consumption in cruising over high speed roads without spoiling the cheerful drive.
