SBF Silverwings Cafe 2008 - JDM/Euro 400/600

So you mean average about 24km/l?I could only get 20-22km/l on my spec 2.

And $260 is just by changing the belt only?And is mileage before there is a need to change the belt?

 

Ans no one ride a SW600?

 

i think you try to read the post b4.

because everyone is asking the same question over and over again.

there is no longer 600cc available for brand new.

 

24000 before the belt is due for replacement.

 

fuel consumption is 22-25 km/l

any SWingers using Osram Nightbreaker? heard it is very bright, concern that the headlight assembly will be melted.

have used it for 3 days now.. in daytime as per any headlight its not bright but at night the distance it shines is further and the highbeam is stronger for sure...

 

I returned a high beam on a taxi who did that to me on lane 1 expressway and he also ended up siamming me.

isn't it nice that someone's also interested in our ride

 

firstly, no more new SW600, BS brings in only SW FJS400 Euro model

 

S4 generally has higher FC than SW, mainly because they run on 4 cylinders/carbs and SW on 2 cylinders & FI, even worse when VTEC kicks in.

 

lots of queries by new comers to SW & to be owners have been answered in earlier pages. yes, its a pain but maybe you can start from midway or 3Q (ignore the TCSS), then read the earlier parts if got time to kill. this would help you know SW better and know its limitations as well (no bike is perfect). know what you're getting into before buying

 

do check out the tech section as well... only 2 pages: Silverwing 400cc / 600cc Tech Corner (http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/images/misc/multipage.gif 1 2)

this... we should NOT advocate... in fact should strongly discourage

 

you should count yourself lucky that taxi siam and not slam into you... driver being visually impaired temporarily by the bright light into his eyes

 

the road is already a dangerous place, why may it even more so... riders usually suffer more than drivers

You buy low, you sell low. :cheeky:

[kenshi1777]

Although i thinking of highbeam back when car approached with highbeam. Really blind my eye, very irritating. But highbeam back the driver might **** up and drive into your lane .. Not worth doing so. Too risky

[thatone1]

yup i agree and i dont do that very often and maybe that was my 2nd time .. i was pissed cos i was going 115km/h and he was still chasing me behind so tightly that i couldn't merge out to the middle lane..

[SW9000]

FC 20-21km/litre on mineral engine oil

 

wow, ur consumption is good.

Mine is only around 19km/l, on fully syn oil.

but most of the time 100km/h-130km/h..

what's ur normal riding speed to attain 20-21km/h?

Normally I ride between 90-110Km/hr...... at times 130Km/Hr....

Maybe my car is also CVT so I am more used to handling this kind of transmission... I never exceed 3500rpm for initial pickup.....

It seem to me the FC is not that bad when compare to a SW400,but one thing for sure the running cost will be higher than my superfour cos I only change my chain and spocket after 90,000km.Is hard to believe but is true with the help of scottoiler.

Hmmm about the same travelling speed,

maybe because for pickup i tend to twist more.

Yar, for car i never exceed 3k rpm... let it slowly go up..

hmmm, running cost for engine oil, spark plugs? hehe... plus minus about the same lar.

[paithorn]

so the difference is how we initiate the pick-up, I will try the fully synthetic oil soon and see how the FC is like....

it is how you drive/ride your machine.....

 

for my car, many people says CVT lousy etc etc.... till now after 65000km, my transmission is still perfect, brakes pads still on original set..... and no, I dun drive like a "pu__y"
