hi!! i just installed one myself, a brand new one according to market is about $140-$180 range. thaz cheap..iz the brackets that is a killer, can cost near another $100. so total new damper + custom bracket = $280.

 

alternatively u can look for ppl selling second hand damper or brackets.

 

to buy a 2nd hand damper...well..according to my fren tot me, check that the damper is free sliding lor, not beng kork...and if it is adjustable..make sure each click will make the damper sliding more resistant and most impt...check that NO OIL LEAK! if u see oil sipping out from the seals like yr fork oil leak like that, dun buy.

 

if u wan good quality ones, i suggest u dun get daytona. coz i find even with 7th click (highest) it wont be firm enuff for track use..but if u are more for street use...iz ok la.

 

[Shay]

cheh san, u put a wheel lock on ur rear wheel huh?

 

yes! front and back wheels!! i very kiasu hor?

If you have looked ard at RVF sites, you would know that RVF400 comes in 2 different models

RVF400RR

RVF400RT

 

Those '96 and beyond are the T models, which are the models of ours. T model has the red/white/purple combi. R model is the older one, with a red/white combi. Both are V4s.

Mine is a FM RVF, so most prob should be a the RR model ba...

I have not seen an R model in S'pore yet. Unless your paintwork is red/white(no purple), then it is R model. All you gotta do is check you engine number with the list on the web, and you'll know. I am doubtful that yours is R model.

It sucks....No one else provides the thru-engine bolt with modification brackets except for that UK company which sells them at a whopping $300+ for one set. Dunno how man...drill thru fairings really heartache, but if i dun want, then the other option is the ridiculously priced set.

to buy a 2nd hand damper...well..according to my fren tot me, check that the damper is free sliding lor, not beng kork...and if it is adjustable..make sure each click will make the damper sliding more resistant and most impt...check that NO OIL LEAK! if u see oil sipping out from the seals like yr fork oil leak like that, dun buy.

 

if u wan good quality ones, i suggest u dun get daytona. coz i find even with 7th click (highest) it wont be firm enuff for track use..but if u are more for street use...iz ok la.

 

 

CHeh_san where you buy one???

 

A damper that doesn't Do Damping!!!!

 

Daytona not so bad, your one must have no oil inside. Get it checked properly.

 

What the way, you ride so fierce on the road need damper??

[jungleboy111]

Finally sold my SP... Now I'm bikeless man! Dunno how long gotta wait for my RVF to be repaired... The thought of public transport makes me sian...squeezing with the crowd... long travel time....argh!!
