Here are some stuff I managed to dig up about V4 engines :

 

"Being a V4 the engine is very strong throughout the rev range"

"It runs out of steam a bit at the higher revs but makes up for it at the bottom and mid ranges"

"Being a V4 it costs double the price to tune and then some more to get more power from the unit"

"Honda’s legendary and unique V4 engine which seems to capture the torque of a V-twin with the power and smoothness of an inline 4"

"only down side is the price for both servicing and purchase which is a little high"

sometimes it has to do with e riders kekekee

[BuZZBeaM]

Had one of e issue of PERFORMANCE BIKES which feature e stickiest rubber for RVF.. 6 tyre were being tested 1.Dunlop GPR70 SP 2.Avon Azaro Pro Series(dun think its avaiblable in sG) 3.BT 090 4.Metzeler Rennsport 5 Michelin Pilot Race H2 6.Pirelli Diablo

 

All tyres r supplied in standard sizes for RVF 120/60 ZR17 front 150/60 ZR17 rear and run at maunfactureres recommended track pressures. they were tested in UK n e venue is Croft Circuit (no idea where it is)

 

Results :

Winner best on road : Avon azaro Pro series

Winner best on track : Pirelli Diablo

 

since usmonkey wan to noe more abt track tyres.. i will jus quote wat e tester feel about e winning tyre on track..

" There jus work off from e off. Some tyres need 4 or 5 laps before u really start digging it, but these talk to u straight away, u can feel what's happening. They're stable, change direction easily and feedback from them is total - if i can ran over an insect i could tek wat sex it was. Grip isnt an issue either - e bke gets buried on e footrests with these. But its e way u can stick e front down hard on e way into turns that makes these stand out. They corner tat well it feels like they're cutting their trasd pattern into e tarmac. They jus dig in and turn header than any of the others. They feel like a proper race tyre in that respect. I could sit here raving all day abt e rate of turn. They work so well on this bike. "

 

Pressure used on e track : 31psi front 27psi rear

 

Due to e little 400's lack of power, e aim of a 400 is to carry lots of corner speed, maximising e chassis to make up for what's lost on e straights. And making e most of e chassis, suspension n brakes means making most of e tyres too, so deficiencies in e rubber should b highlighted.

 

If u guys wan other reviews on other tyres.. PM me.. i will add it..

I oso have this magazine. Oso wanna get Pirelli Diablo but Singapore does not carry 150/60, only 160/60. No choice lor change to GPR70. Oso Diablo is a Z-rated tire put on our bike oso cannot maximize its potential. IMO.

[joshy]

wat is z rated tire ....got so many kind of rating?

 

[usmonkey]

Our RVfs will not hit the Z rated speed rating...duh..
