SBF Burgmans Cafe 2008 - K1 to K7

[paithorn]

Denso....received delivery of yr bike?

[DEnSo]

i collected my bike , running in is a *****

[william_liu]

Congrats! So is it a K7 or K8???

 

Anyway running in can be fun actually.... unless you're doing it by the book

[william_liu]

Yo arcfire, about the intermittent idling/bike dying thing, today I just dumped half a bottle of STP Complete Fuel Cleaner (i know it may not be the best thing for the engine.... but I was desperate... ) and it seemed to help a bit.

[DEnSo]

thanks william , still haven confrim with GH with my fin number yet ,1 week ago call and checked and they said they had 1 last k8 out there not registered yet , so i guess most likely its mine, will double confirm again. , its colour is kinda , i duno how to describe it , looks like gunmetal , looks like blue , something like bmws kind of blue .

 

well runnin via the book's method is simply unrealistic ,as the burgman requires rpm of 3k plus to engage the clutch , running it under 4krpm is like u know wat speed . hence i limit my self to 5.5k rpm at the moment and trying my best to vary the road speed and engine speed .

 

any recommend periods for oil change ? 500--->1000--->1500

 

oh ya , the storage is god like ! and the engine cuts off if side stand is down as a safety feature, so warm ups in the morning die die have to be on main stand , trying to figure out how to bypass the switch. and the windblast is kinda bad , direct to my face and the orginal windscreen is flimsy , hope a higher and sturdier ermax will finetune it

 

looking forward to learn more abt the burgman with you guys, this is my 1st suzuki , couple of things to be done to get running to my peference , so hope you guys can bear with then question coming as i discover my ride.

 

regards

looks like you're on the right track, IMHO!

 

Anyway if you want to be kiasu can always shorten the intervals:

 

200 -> 500 -> 1000 -> 1500

 

As for the safety switch, I've defeated it by getting the mechanic to fashion a metal bracket so that the switch is always engaged.

 

Anyway I always warm up the bike on the centerstand, only use the sidestand in case i need to get something from the box but don't want to switch off the engine.

 

As for the windscreen, you must be rather tall as I find the standard on my K just nice (me 1.7m)!

hi guys..i was wondering...is my bike temp running ok anot..cz..aft warming up the bike..the temp needle is juz on the midle of the temp gauge..izzit ok?good or bad..?cz if i nt wrong..my bike temp use to b less then now it use to b..

[soulz]

Sorri for the blunder(Arcfire), anyway here is the review of the LV SBK exhaust to be shared with the majority of K3(tuning might b required) to K6 burger owners. Personally the LV SBK have yet to or doesn't offer any mileage savings nor does it drink any higher then before. Exhaust note is good(can be better i think) with the optional silencer and a harley eater without them (Seriously and all the jokers present that day including myself can vouch on it). As for performance wise, it really does give a pretty dramatic increase in the pick up and mid range performance. However, dun expect much for the top end (I think still lose to silverwing-F*6*0*). Its actuali quite the same as the stock exhaust. As to where to get n how much it cost me, hahahahha go bug brembo hehehehhe. For the K7 and K8 owners, u can try and bug brembo too to check on when the exhaust might be available hehehehehhe.

[soulz]

Sounds normal to me

yup , u are rite , im abt 10cm taller,so i guess a +10 cm windshield will do the trick.

 

thanks a lot for the inputs

Hi Denso,

 

Nice meeting you and welcome to the burger community....and no problem arcfire....so if anyone out there thinking of getting the LV SBK for your K3 to K6, i think in a sense quite a value for money as compared to other 400cc scoots.

[marvel]

tks..i tot mine faulty liao..heng..nv haven go flush my radiator..hehe..exhast plan..hmm..c arcfire how lor..

[Arcfire]

I now boh lui leh....... mabbe see how when my bonus come.. hehe

[Arcfire]

Wah.... recently seems like my FC is dropping. From previously about 25-26km/l dropped to about 23-24. My rpm seems the same as before at various speeds so i doubt its my belt/rollers. Anyone has any idea what might cause that? riding style oso no change. Somemore i've been pillioning much less during this time......
