wow thailand stuff so ex ... i thought cheap dwn there ... ya .. im a boring sailor ..

Not everything in Thailand is cheap lah

If you ride a Honda Wave (or Honda Dream100) then you can mod cheaply cos everyone else can do it...

if you ride sports, then few ppl doing it and they chg high prices for it

Then what is the recommended front and rear suspension setting for a 60kg rider? And I'm below 1.6m...the bike can be lowered right?

I know that the stock spring might not be the most ideal weight, but for a starter you can try Laden Sag of 35mm front and 30mm rear.

Thanks! Will take note on this...

What are the most wear and tear parts on this bike besides tire and bike chain?

Inlet & Exhaust Cams together with Rocker Arms.

 

Synthetic Oil helps to reduce the rate of wear.

Thanks so much..I don't really understand all...but I'll go search for more info on rocker arms and inlet and exhaust cams! As for the laden sag, I need to feel the bike first before adjusting...haha...

And yah...I'll use fully synthetic oil. I even used it for my Daystar last time..as it improves smoothness and fuel economy while better maintaining the engine.

Thanks again il4

Ok! The rocker arms must be the eight things that rock left and right on top of the engine when it's opened up right?

Haha...not surprising cos the ZXR400 likes to reeve so much...the rocker arms must be moving at super sonic speeds when the rpm meter at 12000...whahahhaaaa...

Bro... the only time u would ever get to see those arms is when u r going through a major overhual... something u won't want happening during the lifetime of your ninja.

 

So besides figuring out those parts, remember a good warm up is also crucial to the amount of material fatigue your engine suffers. Start your engine, do not rev, let it idle for 2 mins b4 moving off. And when u finish your ride, remember NEVER to rev engine and off ignition. I know a lot of people out there r doing it, but it's not healthy to your bike, DON'T do it.

 

Don't ask me why, becos that would involve a whole lecture of Thermodynamics, Applied Mechanics, Enthapy, Enthrophy blah blah blah which I was told I need to do a masters b4 I can fully comprehend WHY?

[k2kiwi]

Oh and as far as i can remember... rocket arms go up and down...

This bike's abt 10 years old..I wouldn't be surprised if I gotta do major overhaul in time to come

ok...I will try not to revve before turning off the engine.. and I won't ask you...cos ask liao also don't understand the theory, Whahahahahah... :faint:

hows ur injury ? haiz ... why the sky keep on rainnin ?? sianz ... recover well bro...

[zasper]

for the bike that cant revv when it is warming up izzit bcoz the material of the engine lyk the cam , crank n those bla blah stuff is still cold so when u revv u u heat up very fast n so u create a thermo stress to the internal of ur engine .. wat i noe is those material in our engine cant stand thermo stress , if its very serious (long term), maybe it will crack ... is it true ? then when u were sayin abt the rev liaos then kill the engine ... wat i heard in my class 2b time is to flood the carb , for easier to start ur bike later ... is tis true ? sry if got spelling mistake ...

...a cold metal if revved is subjected to higher stress fatigue. It takes a while to warm up, for the metal to "stretch" internally, before u should strain it. An abrupt kill to the engine is harder to explain... but just imagine if u are doing a hundred metre sprint and u r stopped dead on the spot, how would your muscle feel? and errr.... instead of flooding the carb with petrol, it's more like flooding the combustion chamber with unburnt fuel, carbon and bad gas, hohoho...

OFFICIAL! Got details of the driver? Can claim or not?

Most importantly, recover well.... bike can fix...body sometimes cannot

Good to know you're ok

Racing fairing and standard fairing not same meh? How many sets of fairing do you have for your bike!?

Your bike have frame sliders right?

[Guest OFFICIAL]

yup frae slider and all.

planning to get a 2 piece race fairing. should be lighter.

[klutch]

another link for the race fairing. AMS motorsport already e-mailed them. now waiting for reply. ram air box seems very interesting.
