Got the blue one. Sprocket changed from 45 to 42. Sweet ride and corners well too. Very manoeuvrable. Next will be changing to Battlax!

Actually I dunno how is the difference is before and after the sprocket change as I got it changed immediately by the shop before taking the bike. Warranty ah? Hmmm, gotta be friendly with the shop lor  wink.gif

But on a recent ride to Lukut from Seremban over the long weekend, it was fine on corners and could keep up with my friends on much bigger bikes, 650, 900, 1,000, 1,200. On the way back to Seremban, I really opened it up (as I was riding alone) and found it was a sweet bike to ride. Had sweet handling and good torque to pull out of corners. Slipper clutch, well, I didn't notice much about it. Only thing is if it had better tyres, I would have been more confident. But no scares anyway.

Nice!
I haven't full throttle my bike as light still blinking at 6k rpm.
Can feel the pull around 6-7k also

So now I feel my bike not enough power

It felt a bit like the G310R. Light, nimble but not as sharp as the G310R. Still, its light weight made it feel much more manoeuvrable and flickable than my 600 which feels like a whale after riding the 400. It's something that will do well on twisties and in the city but not so much on highways unless it is kept around 150kph and below. I haven't brought it out on a highway yet though. But vs my FZ6R, well, for one, my 4-cylinder is way smoother and certainly more top end but for low speed bursts of speed, the 400 can easily keep up. My 600 also feels way bulkier and a bit more cumbersome to move around. The 400 does have a big bike feel which is nice and it handles nice too. Nice fat and thick seat. I'm sure it will be more comfy than my 600 on a long but 'relaxed'ride. Another thing is there is more legroom too. So, the riding triangle is bigger in the 400 than my 600 which makes for a more upright and also a bit more comfortable position. The suspension is a bit bouncy though on stock tyre pressures. Oh another thing is vibration. But then I guess it is normal for a single.

After all considerations, for RM13k, it does its job well and has specs to back it up.
