There are no differences ont he 400 and 650 as the 650 is just a big bore version based on 400, every engine and electrical parts is the same, only different is the 39mm of carb and bigger size of pistons...

 

It look almost exactly like the TLR1000S street version without twin exhaust also...

 

A class 2A bike with all the class 2 identification....

Good memory... I am the winner of that particular auction.

 

Surprise to see that there are quite a number of people who know this rare 2A beau. As I am still quite new to this machine, I am afraid I could not share much on it. All I can say is that this machine is definitely fiercer than my previous vtec1. However, the machine do require some maintenance and touch up job due to the previous owner lack of care. Anyone care to intro any good workshops that I can go to for a good tune job as well as respray?

 

What is akraprovic system?

[fooz]

wah... coz i nearly wanted 2bid 4 it oso...

hw much did u win the bid4?

 

i rmbr the last bid was ard 4k...

Hi man,

 

Paiseh paiseh... I didnt notice that you got pm me. Will jio you out for kopi when free. hee hee... I wanna respray cos my bike was dropped by the previous owner/s several times, resulting in scratches and cracks along the bodywork both sides. I am considering of fitting the akraprovic exhaust system since my current exhaust has a dent on it. How much does it cost?

Hose clip all done up...

 

Actually nothing wrong about the clip, just that the hose top slot in wrong hole then cause pressure cant escape, that's why the bottom hose keep coming out....

 

I think I wash bike time anyhow slot in the hose so causing hose slip....

The one on Yahoo is a black bike with 37000km on it, dun know genuine or not, 4th owner, no plate I think is FS plate, early 1999 register bike. Overall condition ok la....Worth for value or not it's up to yr own judgement...

 

Precisely the one i'm looking at.

 

How do i access the engine condition for vtwin? assuming there IS a difference?

How would i know if its value for money? IE what's the market rate for this bike now...depreciation..

First ask yrself that how much r u willing to pay for that bike? What's yr first feeling about that bike u viewed? Good condition or not? Does it mean the low price alone can make u decide to buy or not....some desperate sellers might anyhow reduce the price to push it away.....then might have some hidden problem or back round... no one can give u any answer...

 

U must ask yrself first b4 accessing any bikes of any conditions u might encourter....

 

There is NO common market rate for a rare bike like this, not like those common bike that u can find easily on the market....u pay for what u like...

 

Like my bike, bought $12860 last unit of the brand new, 2002 FU plate and kept low mileage like brand new condition at 5200km only and people r offering $7500 only...

 

it is a rare good bike that u dun come across every single day... if I let it go, I will go for the 2005 SV650 also...

yeah very different.even different v twin have different sound

[Metalfyre]

so if one full tank can go around 300km only...

means there's some problem?

[Ravon11]

seems lik a good bike.. wats the 2nd hand price lik..?

can the sv400 riders pls speak out anything regarding the bike..?

lik the comfort, handling, noise, speed, weight etc comparing to bikes lik s4 or bandit..

let's say

1) u change e needle in e carb to larger hole, of cos fuel consumption will go down

2) aftermarket exhaust, fuel consumption might go down also (not all)

3) some like it rich thus fuel consumption is higher

 

the 3 examples here r some reason y same bikes have different fuel consumption rate... so depend on wat e previous owner did

higher fuel consumption does not always associate with problems (negative side)
