[momoki]

If u wna save on e petrol n gain mileage for me stick to betwwen 5rpm to 6rpm..

Front 250 back 290. Its stated at ur chain guard bro..

[fx3861]

Hi guys, what's the ideal rpm to shift gears for gsr400 for fuel efficiency? What should the be the pressure for front and rear tyres too?

 

front 250 rear 250 pillion 290... go easy on the trottle....dont rev too much... change gear @ 5 to 7 rpm should fine...but if all thats insuffcient.. there's always bus & mrt for maximum fuel efficiency...sheesh

hey bros out there, just want to check with you guys something.

have you ever, when you are en-route to somewhere and you know you will pass two or more erps, and that one of the erp gantries fail to deduct money from your cashcard? for example, first gantry deducted your cashcard accordingly, but when you pass the second one, nothing happens and you get slapped a fine from LTA. it happened to me quite a few times! how can it be either one of the gantry deducts money and the other one doesn't?!

does speed matter if you pass through a gantry, for eg, you go at 90km/h and the gantry won't be able to read your IU or something?

please advise. I'm quite fed up with the fines by LTA.

First fine, i thought ok maybe there was indeed something wrong with my cash card. second time, weird. third time, fourth time! i'm not gonna pay this time if they slap me with another fine. dammit

LTA seemed to be more cocked up nowadays.. In my case i was asked to go for inspection for my iu.. I had to go 3 times for the inspection n they still send me warning n reminder letter.. Until the third one i request for a receipt from vicom but then again this time i got summon letter bcoz they claimed i ignore them to go for inspection.. I make a call to LTA to tell them that i have receipt to prove dat i had gone inspection before the expiry date but i was advised to appeal as summon had already been issued.. Now i am still waiting for their reply...

bro, check your battery... usually i will not do a very long warm up as warm up will only use your battery to keep the engine running.... my bike is also 3yrs old.... i am surprise my stock battery can last so long... and its still running...

Any FI flashing light? If FI lights goes on, Dealer Mode will give a code that you can check against the fault list. I would not try to open throttle and start engine. It is a very bad habit. If there are no issues, it should start normally when you press the Start button. It could be a few reasons. Check your idiling, the manufacturer puts it between 1.1 to 1.3, if not wrong. Lower than that may stall the engine. And NO it will not consume a lot of petrol when the idling is set to that. If possible, do a physical check on your plugs. It might tell more about the engine condition. If plugs have not been changed, this maybe a good opportunity to change them.

 

I do salute your habit of warming up the engine. It is a very good habit.

I do not think it is the battery voltage. If it is, during warming up the alternator will have charge the battery. Anyway for your case, do not risk using a battery more than 2.5 years. If it fails and you are stranded somewhere, the n good luck to you. hahah My advice la....its one of the most important component on the bike. Get it replaced before it retires.

Hi razi i have check my bike and there is no FI flashing light on. i normally won't open my throttle and start engin just that it left me with no choice cos it just won't start hmm probably is my idling i guess cos its at 1.1 will have it adjust later. As for my plugs i have change before chinese new year so i don't the problem is from there. just to check with you have did any fuel injector cleaning, timing belt change or throttle body syn when your bike milage hit 31000km?

By right, 31,000km mileage, is quite low to do all of the above. means there is no need to do it. Unless yours is a 2nd hand and the previous owner did not take care of it well enough. Anyway it could be a one off thing. Just monitor for the time being. For my case, I dun really trust those injector cleaners. Only only 'cleaners' that I use would be like Shell VPower or Caltax Techron (>> The commercial shows tiny people cleaning your engine, so I guess can be trusted). If the odometer on your bike is not so constant, then I guess can go for throttle body sync. This one can DIY, tedious but easy to do hahah.

 

Anyway a lot of factors for your case to happen. Sometimes it could be because previously the last owner install Scottoiler V system. When the Scottoiler was removed, they did not adjust back the vacuum valve to normal. Or could be there is a leak in the Scottoiler V system. Just guessing la. Dunno your bike so cannot make too much assumption. This one also I ass-u-me only hahahah.

[Markopolo]

What is a leak in scottoiler v system? Maybe I have a leak too. What are the symtopms

[meekia]

Urgently need 08 model and above stock mirrors.. anyone can sell me or advise me where to get please.. the sharp leaf shape like one....

[Markopolo]

Bro, i think u meant Tachometer(RPM)? odometer show total mileage clocked only what. lol.

 

I concur with Razi, 31,000 is too low to do all that. My bike, FBD plater, 3 yrs old has gone through 80,000km and i have never done any fuel injector cleaner or whatever. All i did was basic servicing for the engine (E.O, Oil filter, spark plugs) and took care of it properly. Only recently at 75,000km did i do valve clearance after much internal debate with myself and research on whether it was absolutely necessary to open up the engine.

 

Like bro razi mentioned, it could be a one-off thing. It happened to me once 3 weeks back. I pushed the electric start button, could hear the starter motor cranking, but the engine didnt fire up. It was weird, like as if the fuel wasnt delivered to the cylinders. I opened up the throttle slightly and it finally started. Oddly enough, there was no fast idling. Weird.

 

The next day, when i started her up again, it was back to normal.

 

Which brand and model of tyre is recommend for use on our gsr . Won't Botak so fast and grippy on wet weather .

Try Pirelli Angel ST? It lasted me 1yr. But duration is not a good guide for longevity. I prefer to use mileage instead. The Angels lasted me bout 25,000kms worth of riding. I rode them down till i could see the wires in the tire carcass and finally decided to replace them.

Good grip on wet weather in my opinion.

 

Replaced it a week back with Metzeler z8 interact. currently on promotion at Unique Motorsports for $389. I havent really tested its full potential on wet weather, but on dry, by GOD, the tire performs wonderfully well. I would say it makes cornering more effortless compared to the Angels, but its probably because the Angels are so squared off that i forgot how fun it feels like to burn a new set of rubbers.

 

I read somewhere that Metzeler and Pirelli are infact the same company. Not sure who bought over who. The rubber compounds are reported the same cos they are made from the same place.

 

Another tire that i wanted to try was the Bridgestone Battlaxe BT023. Heard good reviews on it from my friend who is riding a GSXR-1000. It was actually the top of my list when i wanted to replace my Angels, but Unique did not have it in stock and they recommended me the Z8 instead.

 

Perhaps u might also wanna try Michelin's latest innovation, the Pilot Road 3? Its selling point is its supposedly excellent wet weather capabilties. I have not personally tried it, so i cant comment much.

 

So i have narrowed down the list of recommended tires for u, now time to do your own homework and research on its reviews before commiting on one.

[meekia]

Any 08 model stock side mirrors out there bros?? Any gsr bro?? The sharp leaf shaped one..

[leechungfatt]

Any bro can recommend which type of wind screen suitable for GSR400? Which Brand? Which model? where shop? How much?
