And i also dun think Knn last a life time..

KNN filters are definitely good but if want to save money use original.

knn lasts forever but you need to buy the solution to waste the filter.

and what makes you think you are going to ride THE bike forever!!

you will not feel the improvement either. save your money and buy a bigger bike lah .

Performance

The NC30 has an 18in rear, so the choice is limited. the best tires are Bridgestone BT96 (track compound) Dunlop GPR70 (race tire) and GPR80 (an all rounder) are excellent. There is a bigger choice for the NC35 with its 17in wheels. Pirelli MTR Dragons offer the best overall grip, while Bridgestone BT96s are very good. Metzeler MEZ1s give less grip that Pirelli, but last longer. (RIDE Magazine)

 

 

A steering dumper will be essential for NC35, since the bike has a race behavior, slappers are common some times. If you are a speed freak try a good quality brand steering dumper for your RVF, That will help.

 

Modifications

 

How to increase the height of RVF 400? You can make a self made plate. First of all the plate should be aluminum made. Unscrew nuts placing rear cushion bracket to cross pipe. To adjust the height, set the plate between the cross pipe and cushion bracket and screw tighten. Every 1mm plate thickness will make about 3mm height at the rear end of the bike. If you don't have a stand you will need 2 guys, on each site at the rear end to hold the bike off the ground so that you can install the plate.

 

Anyone who has installed NC30 carbs on there 35 had best rethink it. The NC35 carbs have been proved on a flow bench to breath better than the larger NC30 carbs. If anyone has done this modification at the same time as other improvements then DYNO proof of this mod is false. If anyone out there has changed nothing but the carbs (inc rejeting) and can prove they are more effective I would love to be wrong, else everyone out there can start thinking about putting the old carbs back Any questions Email me.

 

Send from a friend here is a full dimension diagram of single sided swing arm paddock for VFR and RVF. You can give it a try seems easy to me.

 

The most common problems that kill the Rectifier/Regulator is overheat, specially in high temperature countries like Cyprus. For preventing the Rectifier/Regulator form overheating just place a 12V P4 PC CPU cooling fan on top of the Regulator located on top of the exhaust side. you can connect the 12V power from the Rear Lights so that it will work when you switch on the ignition. Note: The P4 CPU Fan fits exactly the size of the regulator.

Electrex makes a replacement of the original regulator for RVF, more solid with cooling fins. Regulator Problems are common with NC's, once and for all solution.

 

Removing the inlet foam in the air box air breath will give significant improvement to air flow. That is actually used for not letting water go into the air filter but in my area we don't have much rain so, I have removed it. (Please note also that this modification affects air flow, so I don't take any responsibilities for messing the air flow of your bike. Do it on your own risk) Not recommended on standard bikes

 

Hope this reply helps most of the brother out there!!!!

How far u travel before hitting reserve?

 

Travelling at 100 plus consider abit high. the ideal range 80 - 100km/h. At 120km/h, ur rpm is at 7,000, 'valve open'. U must check ur bike c if there are any mob eg. jetting, curbs. If there issit, then u got check when ur last service. Best to do a full service cos curbs easily out of tuning. Irregular fuel & air flow might result in this. Check ur tyres pressure frequently. Flat tyres hence will aslo increase ur fuel consumption.
