Hi Bros (& Sis),

 

Is there any website to download User's manual / Service Manual for GSR 400? I have tried searching thru internet, but can not find it.

 

I went to JB last saturday and i found that the temperature maintain at 89 (after ventilation fan activated) ~ 98 degree celcius which i feel that the temperature quite high for the engine and it may affect the engine (correct me if i am wrong - noobs in class 2A bike). Do you guys ride the bike all the way to immigration counter or push the bike to the immigration counter (the bike is quite heavy for me)? Hope senior can share the experience with me.

 

Thank you.

depend on wat time lor.. if lets say u going out with alot of ppl in the que... and the stupid check point officer doing slow checking then is better u push ur bike. to avoid the fan activate as the more it goes then mean the oil in ur bike get higher temp even it blow to cool down when it reach 89C". and of course u dun wish to have that nice winds at ur leg there.. if u on short pant then u should know why... hehe

 

so if can push better then ride it. to get better engine after the check point so u can speed it off. the best is try avoid peak hour.

Hey leechungfatt,

 

I am a regular JB visitor using the 1st link and I assume that you are also using the first link bah...

 

I can tell you that for sure it is not a good idea to go in during peak hours... the fume, the heat and the most dreaded part is that the Kupster dun care a damn and will tail gate or "side" gate you ... got a few scratches on my rear box due to that...

 

My advise is the best timing to go in without jam is before 11am. After that... you start to see more and more bikes forming the beeline.

 

In the event where there is a jam... u can turn off your engine when you're going down slope... but on up slope I normally keep my engine running even if it is above 90+ degree celsius becos as long as the fan is working... it will not let the temp go above 100 degree celsius which is fine. Also... partly I kept the engine on becos I dun want those kupsters to be so close to my butt. If they are then they will get a nice smack on their face with my exhaust fume...

 

This bike is heavy but once you "gel" with it for many more months... I'm sure you can push this baby easily... need some skills in pushing heavy bikes.

Not info accurate lah bro. U dun realise ah when u park your bike at nite. I come to your place and plug out your bulb. Slowly i use my Star Wars "THE FORCE" and break one of the wires in the bulb. Thats y i was certain that your bulb was the issue. . Hahahaha... Oh make sure u push lock the bulb into place and also tighten the H4 socket contact.

Hey bro,

 

Talk about JB. Before upgrade to GSR i used to went JB especially city square. I had my X1 park at shop houses opposite city square. But right after i upgraded to GSR. I dare not hang around at JB. Because most of my friend told me it is safe to park at JB. Some ppl even lost it within 30mins in shopping center.

 

So i am wonder where you all park your bike? How to ensure it is safe to park? Using any lock or chain lock? Alarm? Dont mind can share with me?

[showa_dave]

Let me try to help on this.

1. Collent can be checked at the right side of the bike just below the petrol thank. Level should be in between the HI and LO mark. Correct me if i am wrong. It is a white plastic bottle that has blue or green liquid in it.

 

2. Fan will be turned on at 97 degrees. That is when ur suana session starts.

 

3. Scottoiler can be fixed at any shop that sells it. Motoworld does it.

 

Ans to your above qns:

1. Right side of your bike is a overflow reservoir for your coolant, as long as you see some excess in your reservoir that means you still have enough coolant.. however it is not the most accurate way to ensure you have enough coolant. The actual reservoir for your coolant is underneath the right side of your signal assembly. You need to remove the right signal assembly to see the coolant cap. Be careful not to open your coolant cap when your bike is hot. Advise given by my bike shop is to change the coolant every two years or 30,000km (which ever come first).

 

2. Engine temp guage usually on idling or during traffic stops will reach Max at 98-99 degree celsius whereby the fan will kick in to cool down your engine temp. The fan will stop when temp reaches 89. When travelling, the average temp is around 80-83 ... any higher means something blocking your air intake (especially true if you have number plate below your headlight.)

 

3. Scotoiler is a worthwhile investment by lazy people like myself. I do not always spray chain lub on my chain becos this bike DUN have main stand. So far, have been using it since I bought the bike and it has provide me with hassle free management of my chain. Market price have to check the store... last I bought, I think around 150-160 plus installation. Now Scotoiler has a dual head injector attachment(additional $50), I advise you to take that as well becos it lub both side of your chain. The ScotOiler oil reservoir can be placed under your seat to hide from "Itchy" hands. Does it extend chain life? Cannot confirm that, but from the look at my chain ... it is still strong and able to withstand the sudden acceleration anytime without fail. So far I only did an extension of a bar(marking found on swingarm) to tighten the chain.

 

Cheers... and welcome to Class 2a riding experience! Ride responsibly and safe!

 

Hey Bros... Thanks for sharing ya... Will have my scottoiler install right after exam. So far i am stil using chain spray but sometimes really lazy to spray as recently keep raining....

 

Just now went to check e coolant , placed that u all mentioned on right side of the bike just below the petrol tank. I saw partial white colour container, is it the 1? Just now was too dark as late evening already. Unable to see clearly what is inside the white container. Shall take a look tomolo morning after work...

 

Really have to learn a lot from you guys... Shall join you guys for outting to have more knowledge gain.... Cheers...

So i am wonder where you all park your bike? How to ensure it is safe to park? Using any lock or chain lock? Alarm? Dont mind can share with me?

 

FYI... if your bike is targetted... it will take them

 

So why do I still always go in to JB? Firstly becos I know places that I trust the guards and places where I can secure my bike. Secondly, you have to hear the theft scene in Malaysia... so far I have seen many GSR went in... any cases of being stolen? Zero. Why? GSR parts are not in demand in Malaysia and till now, there is no Malaysian GSR. However I do not let my guards down and still double lock my bike whenever there.

 

If you want to know the places I usually park... pm me and I will tell you.

[Dzal]

ah..me also overslept till 8pm... so EJ when u want the slider? before the up coming meet up or during the meet up?

[Noob rider]

hi guys,

need to enquire something, how much can i sell my GSR if it's a 1 year old bike?

is it too much to ask for 11k - 12k?

 

mine is accident free, highly maintain. Just wanna know the pricing nowadays.

 

Thanks for your advise.
