stuff i wan to buy after getting my s4

[GoSlow]

I would reckon the following:

 

1. Yoshi end can (will it harm fc in anyway?)

2. Ah boy KNN air filter (will fc increase or decrease?)

3. Ah boy mainstand

4. Digital voltmeter (any recommendations where to get one and how much?)

 

do u guys think that steel braided brake hoses are important?

I tink some s4 with yoshi riders are very stuck up. im afraid ppl might tink im one of those stuck up ones

[AsHaRiE]

being with a yoshi doenst equate to being stuck up..

 

You will only be stuck up as you wish to.. Just dun go ard throttling at others.. you'll do fine...

On a s4, aftermarket end cans don't sound that much different from stock. You also can't get much diff in hp even with full system, as compared to class 2 bikes.

 

KNN air filter quite ok, but if your air filter in the bike is still usuable there is no need to change.

 

Mainstand is a good to have. Especially when lubricating chain. This is a good investment. Spec 1 cannot install main stand.

 

Voltmeter is a good to have, but not necessary. If you go touring often, a quick check at mech shop before trip settles it. If you ride local mostly, even if the battery goes dead u can still push start.

 

Steel braided brake hose is a good to have, but not necessary. I managed to lock the front wheel using 2 fingers only, on a wet day on a straight road. So the added response and feel from steel braided hoses means a more light handed handling of the brakes may be necessary. They also do not improve braking distances. Its your tyres and brake pads that determine stopping power.

 

If you have cash to spare, a good accessory could be Scottoiler? After i installed scottoiler, my DID O Ring chain has not need any tightening after 15000km despite my sometimes throttle happy style of riding and some track sessions. This is definitely a good investment.

always engage main stand with side stand.. just as a pre-caution..

[GoSlow]

if accidentally blow..

[AsHaRiE]

if accidentally blow..

 

hehe.. then prepare to be accidentally "played" by people..

 

but on a serious note..occasionally we just accidentally throttle. If it offended anyone, just ride on normally.. dun put our lives at stake by any means of challenging other bikers on the road.. it aint worth it..

 

btw.. if ure really keen on getting an aftermarket endcan, do invest abit and buff up on security.. i.e. alarm, security bolts, disc locks, canvas.. u mite not know the person in your neighbourhood might be eyeing for ur shiny new can..

[ghost04]

yoshi sounds neutral to me...sometimes u blow others might even hear it!!

There are 2 type selling at LAB. One he said is China made. Will bent easily and he suggested the japan made one. Much better and last longer.

 

But he said no stock.

 

For Boon Siew one, no more stock coming in liao. Just enquired from them and was informed so.

 

Can try Motoworld or HKL if LAB no more japan made Main stand. go to this thread to find out more.
