Yes maybe it is your plugs - check the gap carefully and make sure you tighten them correctly but not too tight. The trick is to put a little high melting point grease on the threads of the plugs and tighten. Then again if you are using lower octane fuel (92 or 95) might be better for high speed to go to 97 or 98. Also dont mess with the idling speed adjustment - even 1400rpm is ok. Last but not least the standard Air Filter is a bit restrictive - perhaps you try the K&N.

My 2006 SW400 (reg Nov 07) could reach 170 no problem - but no Breadbox behind and rear suspension MUST be set harder. As for the plugs go for Nippon Denso Iridium (model Number IUH 24).

 

The throttle control they are talking about refers to opening TOO full throttle to fast - open gradually and back off slightly when nearing max RPM then open again - never just hold the throttle against the STOP - it actually is a smaller opening than at say 95% open - for full throttle operation You would need to make sure that the cable is adjusted right and butterfly valve exactly horizontal at max opening.

 

Thanks for the very comprehensive reply, bro Kris!

 

Will change to Denso spark plugs soon!

 

Setting suspension to HARD means changing to a higher suspension setting number is it??

 

Does fixing K&N filter means more fuel-consumption during normal days ride? :confused:

but always remember. setting the rear suspension too hard will allow u to go faster. cos when u blast, there is lesser sag. bot not forgetting if set too hard, your frt and rear suspensions are not balance. so during the wet, your front will feel very light and the tire grips won't be as good.

hi 2strokia, you can also check out bike production at serangoon rd. should be the cheapest. but make sure you ask otr price clearly to include all the things (Boon siew or PI bike, the right type of insurance, IU cost, loan agreement cost...etc).

 

i bought from Looi's. Happy to buy from them, though they might not be the cheapest. Old customer of them lah.

 

happy riding. i'm still enjoying my silverwing after 1yr+. :thumb:
