Information, please

Hi Guys ( & Gals ? ),

I've bought a 2005 Silverwing 400 from a fellow Farang here in Thailand. He used a local dealer ( from whom he origanally purchased the bike ) to sort out the ownership transfer, so it's all legit.

I need to get some parts for the bike, but am not certain what model it is ( FJS400 or FSC400 ? ). The two numbers that I've got are MC16-1008708 & NFO1E-1000799 which I presume are chassis and engine. Are you able please, or do you know anyone / anywhere to tell me what model the machine is ? If it's any help, it doesn't have ABS.

Also, I'd like to get copies of the Owners Manual & Workshop Manual. Once I know what model I've got I can do a better search. In the meantime, I've found several suppliers of Silverwing 600 manuals ~ apart from the cc, are there any major differences, or would a manual for a 600 suffice for doing routine chores on a 400 ?

Thank-you in anticipation.........................

Welcome to the forum! The 400 isn't available in the US as far as I know maybe a member from the Europe or Asia can help.

I'm guessing - I think the fsc/fjs distinguish between Silverwings with and without ABS.
I repeat, it's only a guess.

I seem to recall reading on here somewhere that the fjs/fcs bikes are the same, except that the fjs is in the European (and maybe Asian?) market, while the fcs is here in the States.

Don't take my word for this however! I'm just reporting what I THINK I saw here sometime. Good luck with sorting it all out.

They sell the Silverwing 400 in Australia ( http://hondampe.com.au/repository/motorcycles/products/scooter/silverwing400/introduction.aspx ) ... you could contact any dealer and ask for location of model/serial numbers and they may be able to help locate the manuals for you.

I believe the "J" in fjs stands for "Japan" which would make it the asian market variant.

Your dealer should definitely be able to answer your questions and certainly get you parts and manuals.
