I used to own an RVF400 myself.
It was about ten years ago, I think… Back then, you could pick up a nice one for 200,000 to 400,000 yen.

But nowadays… <\/a>I put a GOO BIKE link here, so take a look… <\/strong>
When you sort by highest price… <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s shocking. <\/strong>
It’s like, “What, a Z?”

Man, I never thought times like this would come… I wish I’d kept it. Bike King. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This is the latest Daytona LED turn signal relay.
Daytona motorcycle turn signal relay, LED compatible, 2-pin (1W\u2013100W) 99989 <\/a>

It’s thin and the mounting grommet looks good. *For people who just zip-tie everything, this might not matter…

Swapping to an IC turn signal relay has pretty few downsides, so I’d recommend it.
After all, 100W means you can use it for hazard lights too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most things should fit with just a swap. On slightly older bikes (like GPZ900R or GS1200SS), the relay can be pretty obscure, so you might need to do some work.

Basically it works on everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever want to get into neutral but end up bouncing between first and second?
It’s fun to increase the stroke and find your own shift feel.
*This time the customer said it was hard to engage, so we increased the stroke. The clutch disengagement is fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honda really loves that H4R… it’s truly a pain.
We decided to use the tapping holes in the image for the main unit mounting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you remove it, a loose finish looks bad for serviceability. Just spot-welding a washer should make it look much cleaner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s how we fixed it.

It’s better not to bolt aftermarket parts directly to the main body. And if they’re stuck on with double-sided tape, you have to peel them off every time you work on it.

Zip-tie mounting might be slightly better? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The layout had some room to spare, so the work went smoothly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cleaned up the hard-to-reach areas under the fairing with a no-touch soft cleaner. <\/a>
The engine oil has been changed to ELF MOTO4RACE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
