SBF Silverwings Cafe 2008 - JDM/Euro 400/600

[scoobydoo]

... can go to 285 km before the gauge blinks. This so far 3 times i recorded for S'pore riding but in mal roads can get nearer 300km.

i'm also clocking around 285+ nowadays coz riding into city more often

 

anyway, does your fuel indicator also tend to fall faster after the first ½? like a footballer, 1st ½ got stamina, 2nd ½ pang-chek and drinks more petrol

my guess is the first ½ isn't actually ½ due to the construction of the tank and/or inaccurate calibrations... can try comparing the kms clocked at ½ time, "full-time" and "extra-time"

hi, can any silverwing riders help here.. theres no power to my bike when i turn on the ignition key. (no headlight, no dashboard light)... i try to jump start it and i manage to crank it. however, it dies off immediately when i remove the jump start cable. i tot my battery is totally flat and it requires a longer time to charge, so i decided to bring back the batt and charge. when i check with a mulitmeter, it shows 12.8v... strange? i check all the fuses and all seems to be working fine. how is this possible? anyone? i use a acid lead battery charger to charge it and it also shows the batt is full...

saw a new black SW euro FBC parked side by side my black JDM SW 400 at my carpark (cck) yesterday!Any member own it? or just visit a friend in CCK?

Can see the difference between JDM and euro model, one in english and Japanese instruction on the bike, of coure the T -mode!

which is better and powerful? just kidding not to race!

[seoulnow]

good idea... any recommendations to where/mechs to fix the horn? or did you just DIY? i'm electrically incompetent so won't be able to fit it myself, open up cowl also dunno where to connect wires

anyone free to help or also wanna fit together?

 

I have installed twice before at Motoworld, around 50 buckaroos (I buy there also lah, easier), about 1 hour job. I normally use the Stebel 2 piece type.

 

I press my horn even myself get scared . . beri loud

which CCK carpark u at? my blue wing is at ave 5 mscp

 

apart from the lingual difference in instructions, the most prominent difference is at the ignition control (different design) and some JDMs have an "acceleration" switch situated near to left side signal controls. wouldn't it be nice if its a cruise control switch instead

 

heard from other wingers that JDMs perform better at lower end but looses out at top. i prefer top for smoother cruising and better FC... matter of personal preference. but that could be easily change by changing the rollers to a heavier weight

did tot of changing to the heavy weight rollers... .Damn. .i should have done that previously..... Sianz... gotta waste $$ again....

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING DR PULLEY!!!

Many have use it, and YES, it improves the pick up of your bike. But dun use for more than abt 3000 km. Otherwise you can say bye bye to your variator. I've also seen cases of Dr Pulley installed for less than 2000 km, and that bike's variator's wall is already eaten.

then wat rollers do your recommend?

[scoobydoo]

how long/far does a set of rollers usually last? i mean our stock ones

[bigcow]

then wat rollers do your recommend?

 

Stock is the best. Long lasting = save money.

Dun think u ever wan to spend extra money opening your transmission before your belt is due right?

And dun think there is any after market rollers able to last till the belt is due.

[bigcow]

Same as the Burgman AN400. abt 30 000km to 40 000km

[HelmetBOX1605198525]

I've already said. Go try to believe. Yes! It does make your bike faster.

But who knows, i might be wrong.

And, who on earth will ever replace a $100+++ variator for u even if its their fault?

So whether it's worth the risk or not, NEVER TRY NEVER KNOW.

[HelmetBOX1605198525]

i'm wondering how much does SW variator cost?

[scoobydoo]

hmmm... i learn something new today again:

stock rollers can last for between 24k to 40k kms... probably dun need to worry till next year with my pattern of usage

i dun chiong for pick up, so no need dr pulley

anyway, bike still under warranty... better to use stock stuffs
