well...then let's hear your experience.

how's M400 on NSHW..? can get top speed ? wind blast ? bike control ?

 

staisfy with your ride or want to get bigger cc ??

[Wizard]

end up that day did you managed to get the rain cover thing for your bag?

[Kevs]

I want. Got meh?

 

boss, mai siao kiat wah leh.....

 

u oready MR liao right... I still 七 years HIGH to go leh....

 

unless sillypore goes into war against ...

then i tink u'll be activated bah...

Hmm, the 400 isn't really suited to go very high speeds on the NSH. We went between 140-160 kph (according to the bigger bikes which have more accurate speedos), the windblast was pretty bad because I have absolutely no wind protection haha. Also, to maintain that kind of speed I was pretty much opening full throttle most of the way so my arm was quite sore. Add to that I don't have balancers on my handle bars (which I intend to get soon) so the vibrations were killing me.

 

Oh, my monster doesn't have an oil cooler so going at full speed for such an extended period of time caused my clutch to stop working at a couple of the rest stops. The engine got so hot that the clutch fluid in it boiled away and I couldn't operate the clutch at all. A very scary moment, but it came back to life after cooling down some. I'm going to send it for full servicing on monday so I'll get everything looked at...

 

 

;5447244']end up that day did you managed to get the rain cover thing for your bag?

 

Yea I got it, $6. Don't know if its the proper one though or maybe it wasn't meant for motorcyclists because it doesn't look as though it will stay on if riding in the rain...I think I should be able to secure it with a small modification though.

oooh same for me, hence PD trip i'll go at a comfy 110 or slower...to much windblast and the high frequency vibration i get on the hadlebars, makes my palm tingling....hehehe

 

anyway urs using hydraulic clutch???maybe its time to change ur brake fluid for ur clutch cable to dot 5

Try a thinner oil to cope with the overheating, get the throttle rocker from ah boy ($4), balancers i not sure if the ones jap bikes are using is compatible wth urs, using a tank bag could probably reduce the wind blast.

[Wizard]

i be bringing my tankbag up for this trip....

somehow my handlebar vibration a bit too strong.. haven troubleshoot where is the problem also..

 

i dun think his duke got tankbar to go with? so maybe he only left with the magnetic tank bag

[kmax]

em, it was ok on my Super4 with constant speed over 150 for long rides..

 

stock handle bar with stock balencers.. but i had grounding and revtec from previous owners.

 

engine oil, i used was maxima 15/50 ??? well, nice to see PKs going up north again.

[Tanarthur]

So can I say that balancers can reduce vibration on the handle bars? If so, I also need to get one.

[Tanarthur]

Hey, no letter means I still not safe.

Yes its a hydraulic clutch, I'll see about the fluid tomorrow. 110 is good, very comfortable. Don't know how it will be like for the phantoms though, never went at that speed for extended periods of time on mine...

Got the rocker already, it helped quite alot. What balancers are you using? There shouldn't be any compatibility problems and we're using the same grips so I can preview the looks haha.

I don't have a tank bag and the tank is plastic so magnetic bags can't be used. Need to get a tank bra to put a bag but its not a priority for me...

Did your super 4 have a windshield? Hmm but yours is a liquid-cooled inline 4, mine is an air-cooled L-twin. You have a higher top speed and its not such a strain on the engine at that speed so it should be a smoother ride.

 

So can I say that balancers can reduce vibration on the handle bars? If so, I also need to get one.

 

Yes, they do help.

[Wizard]

alas! whats this rocker thing... seems interesting leh... what does it do?

if anyone by any chance see it can help me get 1 piece also? pay you on the day of the trip..

[Tanarthur]

The rocker is it also same as the cramp buster? Like what snapel has on his throttle grip. If so, then I have 1 spare.

I am using motovation balancers, can get from unique or motoworld. Actually every bike should already have balancers on their handle bar ends, the after market balancers are just heavier weights to reduce vibrations or handle bar oscillations.

 

Lol didn't know yr tank is plastic... no wonder yr bike feels so much lighter.

 

;5449584']alas! whats this rocker thing... seems interesting leh... what does it do?

Lol its a piece of plastic acting as a lever on the throttle grip so that you use yr palm to press to open and close throttle instread of gripping and twisting to open throttle.

[kmax]

yes, u can get aftermarket heavy balancers.. suppose to be better in vibrations.

 

alternatively, u can order http://www.barsnake.com/

 

something like rubber tube to slot inside handle bars, which will absorb vibrations.. i was thinking it would be done DIY with normal rubber tube fileld with sand and slot in.

ah boy used to sell 2 $ or less, it's good for cruising, but last time i tried on super4, which i was going over 150.. so it does not position properly (throttle turns almost one way round..

[kmax]

for balancers, normal handle bars are 7/8 if i'm not wrong.. and some after market bars are 1".. so check first before you buy.

 

only wind blocking stuff on my super4 was IU mounted on speedo meter

 

didn't know air cool bikes can be so hot till clutch not working. well, take care bro, coz gears are essenial for high speed riding, using break is not efficient and dangerous..

[thenation]

My 'balancers' are small knobs at the end of the bars, they don't do much to reduce vibrations. I'll go down to motoworld to take a look then, thanks.

My handlebar is stock, should be 7/8". I think only harleys come with stock 1" bars.

 

Haha my IU is mouted off to the left so it blocks even less wind. Another rider had the same problem with his clutch on his old 400, just have to wait for it to cool down. While on the move its still alright because of the air-flow cooling the engine, the clutch only dies on me when I stop and the engine is no longer cooled.

ohh, i heard nE0 modded oil cooler on his M400 before, dunno whether working model or not, may be you can check with him.

[Tanarthur]

So roughly how much does the balancers cost? Those from LAB can do the job?
