After all the time considering for having hypersportbike (considering the size of the bike, i'm 187cm tall) i just knew my options are Hayabusa, ZX14R, K1300S (Honda Indonesia never officially sold the blackbird).
Last month i got offered MY2000 UK spec Blackbird with custom paint job, mostly original 37.886 on the clock. With Honda's built quality and realibilty, and most of all the its the most comfortable riding position compared to others it's a Win-Win-Win. After a month i put 2.000km on it. Ride it everyday and everynight (haha).
Here's what i did to the BIRD after i purchased the bike.
- Oil change (Mobil 4T Super 20-50w);
- stem bearing replacement;
- front shock seal replacement (but the fork oil is not right- too soft)
- put new tires Battlax S20 120/70-17 and 190/50-17 (i think gonna follow step down to 180/55-17 next replacement)
- Denso IUH27D plugs (what you guys think?)
- new pads all around using goldfren S3 (seems ok)
- seat mod with added latex layering and traction seat cover (Pic.1)
- coolant flush using Mercedes Benz official coolant (gonna change to Ipone Radiator Coolant soon)
- clutch fluid flush using dot.4
- original cans (mod)
- rear shock 6mm Shim installed
- 85°C fan switch (the oem was 102°C)
- coolAir radiator fan manual overide
- headlights led upgrade (25w each)
- turn signal led upgrade
- clear lens turn signals aftermarket front and rear
- tail light led upgrade
I know it's not a brand new bike, and i just heard that only 6 units blackbird in Indonesia, so finding experienced mechanic for blackbird is quite a challenge,and also for blackbird only spare parts blackbird is simply not ready stock.
Here is the culprit from the bike
- FI light is on most of the time (did the emergency wiring loom using crimping tool, but will do hard connection using solder this week)
- corroded gas tank (remedy?)
- fuel pump is using Honda CRV (after a short ride the bike cannot rev above 7.000 rpm and it will short of gas) - i read it is better to using suzuki swift denso fuel pump rather than oem?
- the temp is crawling to red zone after ride 45 minute in traffic (planning to upgrade Spal 9" curved 5amp brushless fan and 4 computer fan to cooling down the oil cooler)
- suspension is off both front and rear (what are the interchange front fork spring?)
- recently due to open circuit wiring harness the diode is melted so do a cable from diode to neutral switch (heavy wiring harness job)
- looking for the best phone holder.
- and the fuel consumption is on the bad side, at 10l/100KM. (Any suggestions??)
- cramped pegs and clip ons
What are the best upgrades for my Bird?
Thanks
