THE BROS 400 :)

[Pol Anorl]

decided to take a decent pic of my bros

got some new bar ends today aswell as the right hand one fell out (it weighs a fuck load poor cars behind me)

more telling

This is my 1989 honda bros 400 had it for 4 days now, passed full bike test and found this is quite suited to my license and my size + needs (none special)

Handles well can throw it into a corner or 2 and it sticks great.
bad points are the high mileage just over 60,000 miles and the paint on the tank is cracked and bubbled.

behind is my dads land rover defender 90/110 all hand painted with next to no miles on it that things a damn tank.

More telling required methinks.

Did you fix the problem where it wouldn't go over 60mph?

Not much Tell in 'ere.

Snazzy little bike... i considered getting the 650 as 400s in good (original) condition were in short supply at the time.

I love my Bros. Do oil changes and they'll go on forever or so I'm told. I'm having the valve clearances done on Friday before I do a 1500 mile tour of europe on the thing. First time I've had a mechanic look at it since I bought it and fixed it a bit in November.

I've replaced the rear shock on mine because the stock one was pretty wallowy. How is yours?

It's still pretty lacking for two up but for my commute it's fantastic though...even if 80 is about 7000rpm. Get about 60mpg out of it, sometimes more.

I loved my old Honda Bros...held the onsell price really well 4 years later, got mine fresh from the container from Box Hill Motorcycles way back when.

Was the bike I learnt my road-craft on.

Good looking bike you've got there I had one after passing my full test in 2008. If you're after some decent mods, I would recommend a Fuel exhaust can as these sound great and save a fair bit of weight over the standard can, braided brake line, and if you want to quicken the steering a bit then raise the forks through the yokes by about 15mm; that's how I had mine set up and I loved every minute of it, wouldn't mind having another if I had the money.

Also, for more mods and general servicing advice, check out www.hawkgtforum.com. The Hawk GT is the US version of the BROS but they're essentially the same bike.

How much did it cost you?

I just bought my own, '90 mkII, first registered '98,
25,000 miles / 40,000km with 2 new tyres for £550.

Not too keen on the red paint

I've changed the oil, air and fuel filters. was running lovely.

Now its a pig to start >.<

Changed plugs, new battery (the old one wasnt even a year old..)

gonna take the fuel tank off and clean out the tap today

[UnspeedySam]

[Bbiker90]

over the past year the bikes done 1000km, Quite possible the carbs are blocked.

The fuel filter i changed asap, might be a matter of running it through.

I bought this to replace my CG125, mainly because I need something More powerful than that, but just as reliable.

Need to go guildford tonight, induction evening for the Bloodbikes! but it doesnt look like it will happen =[

[UnspeedySam]

[Bbiker90]

I'm using Putoline Fuel Conditioner in it.



I've used redex before but alot of people have said not to, The valves sound okay at the minute, no taps, bit rough over 7k but I take it easy anyway.

Shell V power is very good at cleaning things, just make sure its converted to Unleaded. As i discovered my BMW R45 wasnt with a Cracked valve seat meeting the piston
