ya. I'm claimin from a non-riding/drivin 3rd party.

Actually I dropped my rvf due to the the fault of some cleaner from a sub-con's company cleanin up the mscp with detergent coverin the floor....

I engaged a lawyer n was told that I'll win the case wid chances over 90%.

But need sometime for my in-house surveyor to neg wid them the damage my bike received.....

But I'll be gettin a free new paintjob from the company!!

But dunno monetary payout to me personally how much. If 3digit at least, next outing's f&b will be on me.

You guys,anybody using mototech frame sliders?Would like some comments.As motoworld havin promotion.$65 inclusive of drilling.

 

Oso,anybody heard of Lucas racing footrests?Good or not?Is the Yoshimura footrests LAB any good oso?

 

Any feedbacks welcome as i'll be fitting these 2 things to my RVF soon.

Hey benson, congrats on your purchase of the Gliera. Nifty little bugger isn't it?

 

I suggest a coolant flush pronto. Dirty coolant tends to screw the internals. A faulty thermostat will be pain in the ass. Had the runner for over 1.5yrs now and it still runs rather well.

tho it can't corner low, but due to the small wheels, it can turn real fast in sharp quick bends.

Loves the pick up but still can't get me to place in time like my rvf.

overall its quite good for road ridin as long as its not in the e'ways

[djugashvili]

Ken: does NTUC still accept quotations for RVF? I'm aware that they don't for CBR400 liao...$400 is with how many years' riding experience?

I should say the price determine more by the age rather than riding experience.

$400+ if u r 24 n above with 2 yrs or more riding experience.

Not sure if NTUC still taking up RVFs.

U can call NTUC Income at 67881122 to find out more.

Hope this helps...

 

Cheers

hi Benson how long have you been riding your RVF? How's the cost of maintaining it?

I've own it for 9 mths+

Basically, maintainence for rvf is the same for most 4strokes bikes.

Onli diff is rvf's plugs more ex by a bit per piece but that wouldn't add upp much to the total sum durin full service.

The onli thing u shld worry is the electrical of rvf, rect's abit prone to failure.

But if u take care of it by usin a headlight switch, shouldn't be much of a problem to own a rvf.

It's a fun bike I shld say

[djugashvili]

ic! I learnt that RVF is lighter compared to many 400cc sports bike and spots a smaller fuel tank thus the lower mileage per full tank. Are there any special care required for this bike, and what actually happens when the rectifier fails?

[leonhardt82]

Anyone here can reccommend me to any motorshops that do reloan w good interest rate for RVF or CBR400? THX THX

when the rect fails, no chargin occur. den ur batt will drain itself up.

when it uses its last power to start the bike, aft ridin, u off ur bike n go do ur stuff, when u return, on n u press the button, u'll hear "e......E....................E...........e......................."

time to call ur towtruck!!

Maybe if u send it to nokia, just before u reach the stage of the last start, u'll hear "beep!beep!"

which means low batt le.

How does the headlight s/w preserve the rect...???

u mean buying rvf from a shop?

or u buy rvf from private owner n loan from a shop?

erm...I didn't state properli....

Rvf's 1st gen rect is very lousy.

Spoils beri fast, den if u change to the bigger metal fins type, it will last longer and the same as other rect.

Onli prob is, rvf's charging rate beri slow.

So by switchin on the headlight everi now n den, the usage of power is more den that is charged....

By installin the s/w, durin the day time, batt can be charge up properli n hav enuff to be use for nite time, hence, prolongin batt's lifespan.

U get my drift?
