yup,easily costs up to few hundreds dollars..

[rayhunter]

n unsuitable crash bar fitting will cause vibrations to the bike too.

 

skateboy, wat do u mean by unsuitable crash bar? those 3 points type?

[JbAtRaCeR]

not really.. my millage only 270 to 300 millage from full tank till the reserve thing come out ( meaning not including reserve)

My run in is normal uncle run in.. tested many tanks already

 

 

Aiyo!...really ar?..EFI should be more fuel saving. Whats ur highway and street riding percentage?.

my personal opinion, titanium or stainless steel headers do not have protective coating. unlike aluminium, oxide form on the surface to prevent corrosion. the material itself will not rust n blacken. BUT when heat is introduced, with the position they r in which is just behind the wheels n near the ground, all the dust n dirt will stick on the headers. heat will melt down the dust n dirt, n hence stick on the headers. therefore it accumulates n will look dull after time without polishing.

 

as for polishing, with high shine standard, use non-abrasive metal polish. personally recommand liquid polish. n of cos, how much u pay is how much u get. one might think $20 for a bottle of polish is ex. but come to think of it, it gives a better finishing n a bottle can last u for a few bikes n other home usage.

 

how to polish:

as long as u got the bike, polish it as soon as possible. cos the headers is clear of any coating so it stains easily. the longer u drag, the more dirt is accumulated n hence, when u finally decide to polish, u will have to polish for long hours.

 

another kiasu tips. after metal polish, use wax to polish. wax is oso a cleaning agent if u dunno that n it will leave a coating on the header. no worries of heat though. after the wax, apply a thin coating of oil n the headers is good to go.

 

how to maintain the shine:

simply use water to clean the headers every week or after a ride in the rain. with the wax n oil coating, it prevents the dust n dirt from sticking on the headers. water will do the job. if the coating is not there, re-apply the oil or just wax will do. metal polish? 5 to 6 weeks once, shd b no prob.

 

This actually only applies for Stainless steel. I don't have any of these issues with my Titanium headers.

skateboy, wat do u mean by unsuitable crash bar? those 3 points type?

from spec 1 to 3, then revo, bike size looks the same. so does the 3 pt crash bar. but then when installing to the bike, it may not fit exactly. example is there is an anodised black 3 point crash bar sold but that is specifically for spec 3. spec 2 or 1 uses it, confirm got vibration. everything looks the same. design n size but to b precise, that little bit is alot. not forgetting 3 point crash bar will required to remove the original engine mounting bolt.

then good for u, bad for others lor.

thanks for the elaboration, vibration is caused when one of the points is fasten to the engine point instead of the frame..

 

So the anodised black 3 point crash bar sold in the market is cater for Spec III? then wat about those normal chrome or black ones??

[skateboy]

the one nearest to the rider is the worst. the original mounting bolt is different from the one for the crash bar. i dunno how to explain for that. as for which crash bar is for which version, i really dunno. to me, it always the case whereby the rider wanna fix, just fix.

& i tot Fuel Injection is supposed to be more fuel economy rite to carbs ones??

i guess maybe the person selling in the shop also not sure.u want,they will fix.

Seem like FI is not so fuel economical after all... I initially wanted to get revo but in the end chooses spec 3, i think it is more reliable since it is already proven to be gd... ANyway, up for revo user too, hope to hear more gd things about revo:cheeky:

EFI shd b better in fuel efficiency. but no one had given the ans yet. comparing revo n spec 3, not sure about how they fare. if comparing revo with gsr, suzuki n honda got different technology so fuel efficiency is different. but then again, all 400cc naked bikes have almost the same range of fuel comsumption.

I have a friend saying that he gets good fc when riding on expressway(touring trips) but bad fc when riding on streets.Btw he's riding a GSR400,maybe i can do a test once my dad revo is fully runned in,will be going back to my grandmothers "kampong". From that trip maybe i can get the answer.

expressway riding always get a better FC than city riding. all the stops n moving off will burn alot more fuel compared to expressway riding. GSR400 is different from revo which got vtec, n once vtec open, sure have high fc. for gsr, the ecu will regulate the air intake according to the revolutions.

Can anyone explain this new revo able to run with yoshimura full systems or anyone has done it??

For revo, the current Full sys for spec 3 and below can't fit unless cut to modify a bracket near the belly of the frame (below right rider foot peg).

 

Qn2: Yes a local shop did their revo (yoshi tri oval), damn chio, but as explained above, modification needed to fit the pipes to the frame.

[skateboy]

n to conclude, its not legal. still no pipes or full system for revo.

The fairing version of S4 can be veri expensive when u need to change the side fairing due to accident... one piece is about 300-500 depend on if stock is available or have to ship from oversea... That is my own personal experience.
