Fuel efficiency of RVF400?

[silentRVF]

Hey guys,

For those here that have RVF400's, can you guys tell me how many k's you're getting per tank and what sort of riding style you're using? Also, stock gearing?

Also, looking at buying an RVF400 but the rego sticker doesn't say LAM.. Under bike model it says RVF96A.. Maybe RTA has just fkd up? Last week I went to see an RVF which had vfr495a, which was weird too.. Maybe because they're a grey bike they're not on RTA's file so they just put them under whatever bike sounds close..?

Cheers

It sounds about right but I couldn't say what the Aus officialdom is like.

It's always best to go by a frame number and if there's any problem with that then walk

Just did a REVS check and the bike has no money owing and has never been written off etc. It is definitely an RVF400 94 model.

Also, another question.. There are no RVF400 exhausts on eBay. The only ones I know of are the Tyga ones. Are there any well-known pipes for NC35's familiar to you guys on the forums? I would love an Akra pipe or Leo Vince. Perhaps there is a bike which has a similar pipe and can be easily modded to fit? I'm not after added performance, just a nice sound (and look).

Apparently the little Tyga maggot sounds good. What about the carbon Tyga cans?

Also, is it worth spending the money for the headers as well?

Here's a link to the Tyga exhausts for the NC35

hi there, for more info about systems and ideas to put on your bike, you may find it here:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=6071

Leo Vince bolt-on end cans for the RVF400 in either carbon or alloy finish can still be ordered new. Not sure if you have a sales agent in Oz?

Depends on what you want. If you are on the hunt for more noise compared to standard can, then replacement of just the can is ok. And if looking for more performance you may be looking into full-systems including replacement of the headers too, but this involves more then just simply putting a complete system on...

The road authorities screw up very often, I wouldn't be too worried.

Some of the tyga mufflers are nice, forget the maggot though - way too loud for road use!

Hi Alex! I found you

Oh and I have the Tyga maggot on my RVF. Come round some time

There's a thread in the V4 section, a sticky I think, that shows all the different exhausts. It might be in the gallery.

Cheers!

The RVF400 and VFR400 aren't listed on the Leo Vince website...
http://www.leovinceusa.com/main/products/index.php

Also looked in the Leo Vince catalogue of my local dealer and there was nothing listed there either...

EDIT: This must be Leo's main website. It lists 2 exhausts but no price is given. It doesn't allow you to play the sound either (most popular bikes allow you to play the sound with the pipe fitted). And there aren't any videos on youtube either.. Perhaps Tyga exhaust is the way to go.. It's pretty cheap..

Mate, check here: http://www.kalsbeekmotoren.nl/leovincehonda.htm
This price list is actual and it shows the RVF400 bolt-on cans including prices.

Cheers mate. They're not all that expensive!

Does anyone here have photos of an RVF400 or NC30 with a leo vince pipe? Also would love to listen to the sound so does anyone have a video?

Thanks alot!

Shown prices are local offers of this wellknown dutch shop (included a 10 to 20% discount).

Not sure what shipping costs will do to Oz.

You'd better try Youtube as there is footage with these cans on an RVF400. Just try and search.
