[logen1836]

Micron endcan.

 

I see! Tks bro!

[jayz]

why you guys s4 can go so far b4 empty? mine after washing carb and tuning, also cannot go so far. but of cos the FC improved, but still not going 300. now my bike is in reserve and the trip meter is showing 214 only. over the last few times i went to pump, the most i can pump is only 14.7L. bcos i dunno my reserve can go how far, scare half way no petrol i die, so whenever i go in reserve i will go pump full tank liao. somemore now petrol up price. DIE!

Read up a post somewhere in this forum and decided to try liquimoly valve cleaner last week. Just filled up my tank just now. Full tank can go 360km+-. Not bad..

Do u guys know spec3 full tank how many ltr?

[outspoken]

All Cb400 is 18L including reserve..correct me if im wrong...good for u if the valve cleaner gets u more mileage....it doesn't actually helps on my FC but it sure make me wanna drag the gear more....shiok....

Yup. Can feel the bike pulls more lighter than before. So it has 18ltr. Thx for the quick reply bro.

[logen1836]

I just clocked 280km b4 reserve on my Spec 1.

Gonna monitor the next full tank.

[83henry]

Just gotten my '04 spec3 and clocked 258km on my 1st tank of caltex platinum. Pumped 14.7L. Is it normal? My cruising on expressway is 95km/h @ 6000rpm. I feel that sprocket is probably too big to be economical. Any recommendation? On GPR Slip-on, thinking of selling it with swap of original muffler. Do PM with offer if interested.

[thrasher]

wah, ur getting abt 17km per liter only? thats quite bad leh. im getting abt 21-23km liter. some ppl fulltank can reach above 400km leh. it all depends on your riding style, u always on vtec or not, your chain properly maintained and lubed. your tyre pressure. your condition of engine oil.

[83henry]

well, I thinking of changing the chain and sprocket. But now trying to find out what sprocket size stock bike comes with or fellow forumers recommend. target to cruise around 110km/h @ 5000rpm. But now 95km/h is already 6000rpm. So I end up have to live with that speed. I feel that the bike's tuning is quite off. Sometimes my overheat light blink abit. I also sianz. Have to recondition the bike

[thrasher]

get a size 44 sprocket

[vtec88]

BROQUET can help u get MORE TRAVEL MILEAGE.

Super 4 Version S broquet user review

 

 

 

 

i do not know much abt the science of engines etc.... but i do know that the fuel consumption on my version s improves after i put in 2 pairs of it into my fuel tank.... everthing being the same, my fuel consumption improves from abt 20km/l to 24km/l now, after using it for half a year...

 

super 4 ver s broquet user review

 

 

 

not bad. Full tank ver s increased by 25-30km per litre with it.

I've been using it for 1 year and it does improves my fuel consumption for at least 30km more. Btw, I'm Sean and riding a S4 Spec 1.

[rumpshaker_23]

I'm able to hit 380km(full tank) on my spec 3. Sometimes a bit more. Those using up 14-15litres of fuel, you can travel for another around 50km. But those with bad FC, I don't recommend.

[ResmeN]

Here are my fuel economy figures from the last month and a bit of riding. Don't know for sure but by looking at these figures since the sprocket change combined with broquet fuel charger I've been getting better economy. Using regular 91 ron unleaded.

Very detailed.. Does the broquet do womders?

[ResmeN]

I upload all my fuel details on to below website which is where I extracted above table from. I have a full aftermarket moriwaki system, K&N air filter but after putting broquet in found a small change. Don't expect a big change.

[outspoken]

How much mileage more did u get...?....btw ur using 3T or 4T?

[ResmeN]

I'm using 4T. I think if my bike was stock I would have got more but as is I felt I got an extra 25-35km per tank.

Hey man. where did you get the valve cleaner from?

[wrexology]

Hey man. where did you get the valve cleaner from?

 

It can be found at equipment extreme or republic. Republic abit exp tho. Im not sure If other shops carry it. Cheers.

[MSDS]

According to the manual... when the low fuel indicator flashes for the first time it has approximately 4 liters of fuel left in the tank... 4 liters can actually win us another 80km or so bah...
