Yeah. one thing good about the GTR is that its run really smooth once you hit the road. You will crave for long distance riding alot. It happened to me. My friends called me touring fanatics! Hundred of kilometres travelling is like peanut. hahahah

 

I had problem with the weight too. But you will get over it. Cant really expect a 1400cc supersport tourer to be light. ^_^

 

Blue is nice ma. Brown is a rare color, very difficult to find matching color for accessories lei.

 

Perhaps you are just in time to just us on bukit tinggi trip tomorrow? Travelling speed is 110-120km/h because there are class 2b bikes. Come back from the trip, your bike due for 1st oil change lo. wahahahaha

Yeah, LCP definintely the 1st one on the road. ^_^

[lcp]

Hmm.. Wat bike shop told me is keep the speed below 80km/h n RPM not >4000..

 

On the manual it only say RPM not >4000 for the first 800km, nothing about speed leh..

 

So now a bit blur lei.. also Mr lee say first service 3000km but mech say 1000km..

 

So dun dare to join any trip yet.

 

From yesterday evening collected till now already travel 120km liao, love it a lot.

[lcp]

Yeah, LCP definintely the 1st one on the road. ^_^

 

Haha 1st OTR also 1st to almost drop e bike on petrol station:faint:

 

some knn spill some diesel on e floor so when i put main stand almost fell with e bike..

Ya the bike smoothness really surprise me, n feel dam easy to handler once on the move. Rode a GSR last time really so different, it feel more easy to handler than e GSR.

new bike, slowly run in.

 

keep speed & rpm at max recommended levels

service intervals every 1000km or if u like, 800km or less, once the oil starts to turn colour, change oil and filter plus drive oil.

 

after 5000km, change to fully syn. dont wait too long to change as it will lead to excessive wear internally.

 

in fact, why the hell are we talking about this?

its Xmas, go out and P.A.R.T.Y!!!!~~~

Whats slowly run in?

 

Super4, 400cc, run in at 90km/h, half of topspeed (180km/h)

 

So GTR1400, should run in at... 140km/h, half of topspeed right? (280km/h)

 

Don't bother about run in. Warmup the bike gently, then ride it as per normal. The worst thing you can do is ride around at 90km/h in 6th gear. The engine will spoil because its barely loaded!

Bro, wrong lei. THe bike shop anyhow hantam only. Keep in below 80km/h? The bike will die from prematual birth. The rider will die from heat stroke. GTR rpm at 4 last gear. Already can hit 130km/h. WHich is good enough for singapore expressway and malaysia trip. Once a while, blast a bit to wake the piston up. Follow the manual to run in. Just take note that the first 500km is important.

 

Gtr is a super sports tourer. Its meant for long and short distance riding. 1400cc is no joke. I am sure its purpose bulit.

[ohayo]

Haha 1st OTR also 1st to almost drop e bike on petrol station:faint:

 

some knn spill some diesel on e floor so when i put main stand almost fell with e bike..

 

Wa...so ambitious to put on mainstand on the first day already? i only put on maintain one month after. need my body to gel with the bike first

[lcp]

Thanks a lot guys, great info. I m also thinking ride below 80km/h will kill the bike man..

 

Will keep all those info in mind Thanks Thanks ..

 

Merry X'mas to all bros n sis here, enjoy e super long weekends

Want to turn your Intercontinental Hypersports tourer into the ultimate Intercontinental Hypersports luxury tourer?

 

Put in Cruise control! Available for GTR1400 and ZZR1400 too. I would get this if I still had my bike!

to be more precise, i would stick to what has been prescribed in the manual.

limiting to stated rpm but also to go thru all 6 cogs frequently at road legal speeds for the for the first 1000km at least.

 

i have seen exact model cars/bikes go thru normal run in n hard run in with 10-15% diff. in dyno results by about 5000km odo readings, and even greater difference after 15,000km.

 

remember to change out of mineral once run in is over.

this is detrimental enough not to forget.
