nope..

 

after the dyno run, was told my top ald pretty good, nothing much to improve..

improve more on pick up and the lower range run..

 

Overall, felt it was smoother, less chocky..

 

but then wonder if it's jus psychology at work...

 

as for micron, had it since i took over the ride so can't compare how the ride would be w/o the exhaust.

One thing for sure is, i prefer it w/o the muffler

hi bro... great to see another CBR fan... i will actually recommend u get the F4i cos its fuel injected... but well.. depends on individual preference and budget... the F4 is a pretty good bike too.. and was once crown the king of 600 during its time... fuel consumption wise have to depend on ur riding style... the most i can get on my F4i is 20km/litre... for the F4 i'm not too sure as it is running on carb.... maybe it will be more fuel efficient? if i'm not wrong.. latest plate for the F4 is FS plate.. i love the matt black paintwork for the F4.. saw a few around... sad to say.. although there is still production for the F4i in other countries but singapore don't bring them in anymore... but if u really have the money and love the F4i.. maybe u can try importing it to SG... jus have to find the right bikeshop to do it for u... servicing wise... F4i needs 3.3 litres of engine oil (with oil filter change) or 3.0 litres of engine oil (without oil filter change)..... iridium spark plugs are recommended by the bike manual... but normal ones will do fine as well... if u still have more doubts.. feel free to ask here... i'm sure those who more laojiao than me can answer ur questions...

Congratz on a well made decision.. i do not know whether you are a gung-ho sportbike rider or not but this bike in question is meant for people who wish to ride a sport bike and ride it comfortably.

 

Sure it will lose out in terms of traffic light sprint as compares to a R6 or a K5 or anyother pure sport bike. This bike is a cross bred bike just like theBlackbird A.K.A BB (CBR 1100XX).

 

The Touring model as stated by the above post comes in two form - carb and FI. Carb Model is within the FR - early Fs plate while the FI vomes after that till late FT (or maybe FU series??)

 

Price for this babe is slightly expensive as compared to other CL 2 bikes of the same range and age due to their limited quantity. i was quoted abt 8.8K (on the road price) for an FS plate at Southern on may '05. (dunno whether it is still there or not )

 

Fuel consumotion for a Carb model is among the best for a 600 cc sportbike.. i can reach around 320KM with 1-2 litres to spare (my reserve light blown liao ) but i dare to go a bit more if i need to . The mileage quoted is based on 75% highway (mostly maintaining abt 100-110 Km/h) and 25% road with a few quick green light getaway (hey, it is still a sportbike!)

 

seriving.. hhmm.. this is a subjective question. Generally if the last owner maintain the bike properly, then you will only have to take care the normal things like E.O and S.P and chain and carb/Fi wash/tuning andtyres (that sort of things) and another extra.. you have to ensure that the Chain cam tensioner i(CCT) is in good order. That is one of the perculiar thing to look out for this bike. Parts are generally easy to find (cause they share a bit of similarity with some other honda models ( honda like to recycle thier design--- to a certain extent) but things like fairing have to be ordered or bought over through the net (they have a lot of accesories as this bike is popular in the states)

 

i can rant all day about bikes... if you wanna know more.... you can always PM me and i will get back to you ASAP. i can bring my bike down for you to view and we can chit chat about the bike (or any other bike- for that matter) ..

 

hope this helps

castrol r4 X 4 = 68

Denso iridium sp X 4 = 72

OEM oil filter = 15

Tensioner = 65

Woorkmanship = 10

 

Total 230

 

Thats the total cost i spent...

 

Btw r4 is 17 per bottle and 18 per sp

 

Ermm when u heard metal rubbing sound at certain rpm than its time to change liao...

 

as for oil filter cos mine its k&n so i wash myself one lor and i do the bleeding of brakes myself 2 ...

Unity no need me to say so much as their wrkmanship its recognised by many other cl 2 riders...

 

Ermm ur bike bought fr zech rite???

 

Actually can ask him when his last servicing. Than fr there u roughly know wat to do liao...
