[Discussion] CB400 SUPER FOUR HYPER VTEC Revo

[tzmdegil]

Broz need some help abt scottoiler. The injector always out of position when riding. Anyone can help me how to make the injector stable so tat it will not go haywire when moving off? Frustrated liao

[ramsnake]

for long distance riding, example east to west 5 days a week, any engine oil that you guys can recommend to me>?

 

Bro, east to west is only about 40+km. That's not considered long distance lah...

Use 10W40 oil. Hondo recommends 12,000km oil change intervals. If you're more conservative, can go for 8-10k intervals.

 

As for brands, I've been using Mobil 1 fully synthetics. These are about $18 per litre. Try a few brands for yourself to see if you can detect any difference if oil quality. Stick to the major engine oil brands, good oil change interval and you generally can't go wrong. The only one I can advise you to avoid is that 3-alphabet named oil that's supposed to be from Germany.

 

 

Greeting all i need some advise here.Currently i was riding Super4 Version S but recently my block started to leak coolant i had consult afew motorshop they advise me to scrap alot of version S starting to have this problem.I consider to change to V-tech or revo just to check they got this type of problem or not?

 

The oldest Revo is only about 4 years old. I doubt any has encountered leaking engine blocks unless the owner is really screwed up as far as taking care of the bike is concerned.

 

If you're going to keep your next Super Four for a number of years, I'd advise you to get a Revo. Spec 3s are really over-priced so bargain like mad if you want one. Spec 2s are worth considering but do be very selective considering the age.

 

All the best!

Use cable ties to secure it into position. Check the previous page of this thread. Another bro had this problem as well. I've posted some pictures in reply too.

Haha i will already be in malaysia by the time of the meeting. But i will be at johor.

[killjou]

aww man can't join on friday nights as i have night lectures at school. so many questions wanna ask and talk about.

 

hey @ramsnake bro, you mentioned that 3-alphabet named oil that's supposed to be from Germany, i think i know what oil you talking about.

any particular reasons to avoid that? cause i'm using this oil as recommended by the mechanic and advertised in the workshop. trying it out for the first time.

[chiaph]

i am helping out in night shift, but i am near the checkpoint!

Sorry to intrude. But I do agree with ramsnake. Maybe one of the reasons is because its not from Germany? I am guessing the workshop you go to is the famous one at KB? Sorry if I am wrong and sorry again for intruding and no I am not riding a revo.

Germany in name only. Blended locally but it's not about where the oil is from either. When I was riding a 125, many of us with the same bike tried that oil. It's harsh and doesn't seem to do it's job as advertised. Subjective visual comparison of used oil with other brands also indicate higher deterioration.

 

The worst was when the spark plugs from the same brand was found to have melted way before it's use by date. When a manufacturer tries to do too many things and can't even meet expectations let alone excel, I would stay clear.

 

Sorry to intrude. But I do agree with ramsnake. Maybe one of the reasons is because its not from Germany? I am guessing the workshop you go to is the famous one at KB? Sorry if I am wrong and sorry again for intruding and no I am not riding a revo.

 

It doesn't matter if you don't ride a Revo. A biker is a biker, bro and we welcome good input!

I think what's hapenning is that your hose length is not long enough. If it's long enough to touch the sprocket using only 2 cable ties it should hold in position.

 

Too bad the meet up isn't happening as we can help you sort it out. I'd recommend you take it to Motoworld and get them to fix the issue.

Hey, ezrider! Didn't you post a few months ago asking for parts supplier contacts? Still can't find the speedometer?

 

Have you tried riding it without the speedometer? My guess is that there is no feedback loop from the speedo to the ECU, thus the running of the engine should not be affected. I'm only guessing here as I don't have the wiring schematics. Go ride it for a short lap round the block. If the engine runs smoothly, you're good to go.

 

Can you tell us who you have contacted for the speedo? Might be able to connect you with a supplier.

I thought I remember you asking before. Yes, that was me who suggested you check prices with FJT. If you would rather not wait for your friend, I can help you get a quote for the parts you need. There is also another Honda parts importer other than FJT. Both are the major suppliers here and they distribute to bike shops. What I can do is help you get a quote. Once you're happy with the price, you pay the shop and I'll get them to send to you directly.

Send me your email address by PM and we'll take it from there.

[killjou]

thanks @ramsnake bro!

 

guess i should avoid that brand. engine oils like belray and agip are cheaper than that.

 

i can't make it on mondays, fridays and saturdays. and preferably to be after 10pm. going johor for petrol is entirely fine with me.
