2016 YAMAHA SR400 Review
Design - I do not consider 31 inches seat height is low, but the bike is narrow so unless you're really the height of the challenge, you can still find a reason. Compact, weighing less than 400 pounds, you will not have your hands before leaving the stage of trying to get a wrestling match.
This is one, because I had to start the bike a very long time, but this is not like a daunting task, because it is in the last year. Not, Kickstarter is not a choice; it's the only way of starting SR400. charming? possible. I have not decided if I think it is awesome or a factor in that. Unless you ride a mountain bike, you might never use Kickstarter - at least those of you younger than me, and this may be your best.
In the past, this is quite a skill, you need to do is right, or you'll break your legs or on the handlebar that makes you. The old high compression XLCH can really give you a boost, because I clearly remember. It is the lag time, throttle setting, and a lot of weight there is a balance throw kicker pedal to the bike forward, God bless you stand at a traffic light.
The SR400 does not have any of these problems. There is no choking mess with, so all of the pre-tinkering is no longer applicable. There is a window on the observation of the cam in the queue on the compression stroke of the piston to help. Once you line up just over the center of the piston stop, give a kick kicker kicking it starts. Does it sound complicated? It really is not. Once you do it the first time, and know how to pedal "feel" when it is ready to begin, you will not have a monkey as the mirror. Fuel injection solve problems when idling-stop, so you can look super cool bicycle kick starting without any problems associated with the old.
Chassis - when Yamaha began with a lightweight, single extended, double cradle setting the stage for the work in the rest frame of nostalgia. A trunk left for us is to meet a gentle swale old tank humpback pie banana seat. It's almost straight from the top line to turn right into the 70s century classic style, while chrome passenger armrest complete the look. The framework sets the steering head angle of 27.7 degrees in a gentle, so that we have a compact 55.5-inch wheelbase and 4.4 inches clues. In the 5.1 inches of ground clearance high enough in 30.9 inches tall seat height and reasonable most riders. The compact structure, although designed primarily for unmissable offers agile handling and rapid reversals far beyond what one would expect from such an ordinary machine.
Hydraulic, telescopic fork support with the front 5.9 inches of travel. Fixed fork over, no adjustable parameters - light weight characteristics of an acceptable given the appearance of obsolete bike - black leggings protection bellows fork tube swept area from road grit, while strengthening the retro style. Classic double yoke rocker spring break, external shock absorber coil came SANS adjustment, which is a bit disappointing, but because of the small spring preload bezel not one from the whole style derogation.
Single hydraulic clamp and 298 mm front brake discs combine factory took the retro route and install 150mm mechanical drum back. Normally I would complain about at this point, but because of its light weight, and that 70 percent of the braking ability of the juice from the fact that the front brake, I'm sure in the back of retro drum brakes. Face it; just do not look after the rights of the disk in this ride.
Almighty, 18 inches, tubed hoop rolling chassis round out the lace, chrome rims - a classic touch, relationship to the correct chrome-plated front and rear fenders and other bits and Bob's design has some continuity.
Transmission - a 399 ml, "Thumper" engine drive this classic car. Vertical arrangement air cooling tank toe the line highlighted a bit of nostalgia, rather than detract from it. While past efforts to restore the engine - even going so far with a kick, just start running - organs are modern, fuel injection and electronic ignition control of induction, so you get the old look and modern performance and emission control.
Yamaha performance data not mentioned here, but I do have from the authority, if not the factory, source some DYNO results. The engine cranks out a modest turn 24 Pony in 6400, and 21 pounds - feet of torque at 5500 rpm peak. Surprisingly, the torque curve from quite early in fact, most of the maximum torque (20 lb - ft) at only 2500 rpm generated. This grunty the bottom should provide some decisive and authoritative roll holeshots response traffic navigation hole. There mileage of 66 miles, it really is not a bad basic transportation, if you need better than this city, you may have to start looking for motorcycles, instead of "appropriate" motorcycle industry.
The five-speed transmission is maintained in the range of usable POWERBAND, and good, old-fashioned, O-ring chain drive carrying power to the rear wheels. Classic, etc. and the like, you have the same look and chain final drive, but no black stripes on the left you come back fat. If you've ever rode an old bicycle without chain cover, you know what I'm saying.
The suggested retail price in 2016 SR 400 to $ 5,990, and comes with a limited one-year factory warranty. If you want to use black SR400, you're in luck. Yamaha provides it in an agate 2016.
