anyone going to sepang track this weekend?

[nacl]

see title.

 

anybody monitor their oil use for far?

 

as reported by sportrider.com as well as the nov issue of bike, there appears to b excessive oil use. in some cases as reported by forumers in 1000rr.net n fireblades.org, it can b something like 1 litre every 3000km!

 

at the same time, there r owners who report no such problems, or only little oil use.

 

read from somewhere (will post link when i find it back), a possibility is through the intake valves. smoke was observed during a dyno run on deceleration, dat is, closing the throttle after some rpm. it was ascertained from exhaust readouts dat it is due to engine oil, not excessive fuel. some excessive deposits were also found on the back of the said valves.

 

on decel, downstroke pistons create a powerful vacuum (remember dat throttle butterflies r closed at dis pt) n oil is drawn from the intake valves' oil passages.

 

as an aside, other than a previous ride (phantom 200), none of my bikes consumed oil, even after 6000km. at least, it wasn't noticeable. i didn't measure, but checked the levels through the oil sight glass (the 08 blade doesn't hv dis, just a dip stick).

 

any thoughts?

[DemonicSaint]

any1 tried power abuser v2 n power ignite on their 04-05 cbr1k b4????

any difference in performance or fuel consumption???

enlighten me pls thks

me want to know too...

i have ask this question but no one reply me....

[NightPhantom]

just curious, where do u guys service ur cbr? coz mine regular mech seldom touch big bikes, thus not familiar with cbr. any recommendations...??

 

mine bike is running at 185km den hit reserve, thats y wanna rectify dis issue somewhere next week...

[nacl]

personally i go to mah motor agencies at jln besar. i've known them for some time, i'm comfortable wif them. been doing dis wif my class 2b, 2a n 2 bikes.

 

did everything from oil changes to valve clearance.

 

however, the usual applies... ur experience may vary!

 

when i first got my blade (2nd hand, 2004 model) the fuel consumption wasn't too pretty... something like 190km to reserve (between 14 to 15km per litre). over time it improved to abt 230km (17km per litre). some things i did include:

 

- replaced the aftermarket air filter (k&n) to a stock filter (hated the 2.7k rpm surge at small throttle openings, dis helped somewhat).

 

- used a 15w50 oil (motul 300v). a heavier oil usually means more fuel consumption, but i prefer smooth gear changes.

 

- changed to denso iridium spark plugs.

 

- did valve clearance.

 

- replaced wheel bearings.

 

oh ya the bike is otherwise bone stock (no pc3 or ecu upgrades or any hrc stuff).

another CBR 1000 rr was stolen on last sunday morning in KL

 

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b361/Blackhonda666/IMG_0002.jpg

 

I was stopped by SG customs, they ask me how much my bike is and if I had heard of the news about the bike being stolen, as if they knew I was from this thread.

[Tashi]

Lucky i'm ok.

i was ridding towards my work place when i saw a forklift ahead of me moving towards the same direction. I was about to reach beside the forklift (about 2 metres gap), the forklift driver without checking blindspot n safety check, just make a sudden left turn. i could feel the forklift blade hit my machine and i started to wobble.

 

Sorry about your accident, after seeing the pix, my heart also feel pain.

So far mine doesn't have this. When I saw some black spots on the exhaust pipe. I thought it was the oil issue, but it's not, when you start the bike, water vapor starts to form at the tip, this mixes with some carbon deposits to form black spots, if you look closely, they do look like water based spots.

 

Maybe I don't ride enough these days, less than 2,000km on the clock.

last week when i came out from the custom, i was also being asked by the officers about my bike pricing and stuff.....

 

and today when i came out from 2nd link, the officer again asked me about my bike plate number etc.....

[ghost04]

any1 tried power abuser v2 n power ignite on their 04-05 cbr1k b4????

any difference in performance or fuel consumption???

enlighten me pls thks

 

looking at the space of my underseat...

left side pc3 right side some tools where got space to put other stuffs...

anyway the cbr is already fast n powerful enough...

as for consumption i don believe it will improve cos its ecu problem.

[ghost04]

personally i go to mah motor agencies at jln besar. i've known them for some time, i'm comfortable wif them. been doing dis wif my class 2b, 2a n 2 bikes.

 

did everything from oil changes to valve clearance.

 

however, the usual applies... ur experience may vary!

 

when i first got my blade (2nd hand, 2004 model) the fuel consumption wasn't too pretty... something like 190km to reserve (between 14 to 15km per litre). over time it improved to abt 230km (17km per litre). some things i did include:

 

- replaced the aftermarket air filter (k&n) to a stock filter (hated the 2.7k rpm surge at small throttle openings, dis helped somewhat).

 

- used a 15w50 oil (motul 300v). a heavier oil usually means more fuel consumption, but i prefer smooth gear changes.

- replaced wheel bearings.

 

oh ya the bike is otherwise bone stock (no pc3 or ecu upgrades or any hrc stuff).

 

when i 1st got mine...repsol05 model stock..

230 reserve light up

change to scorpion slip-on improve to +-245 then light up

insert pc3 + custom mapping and BMC race filters till now average 260 then light up

i use only silkolene race 10-50 oil n denso iridium plugs..

but running above 220km/h u wont wanto know the consumption...

[ghost04]

i checked my eo level once awhile but the level constant so eo-sipping doesnt happen for mine...

[NightPhantom]

thanks for the feedback, btw is ur exhaust stock? coz my is yoshi endcan.. probably the next thing i'm gonna do is valve clearance... usually how long do they take to do it??

 

i'm also using motul 300v, knn air filter... no pc.. friends told me to sell my bike, but i'm aiming to solve this damn problem as i really like the undertray exhaust cbrss...

u guys fuel consumption quite good.....may i know what tyre pressure u guys normally pump at?????

 

[Tashi]

just curious, where do u guys service ur cbr? coz mine regular mech seldom touch big bikes, thus not familiar with cbr. any recommendations...??

 

mine bike is running at 185km den hit reserve, thats y wanna rectify dis issue somewhere next week...

 

I do mine at BS. Must go early in the morning, otherwise have to wait long long.

Left it at BS for 3 days for my 06. Did it at 50,000km, only changed 5 shims I think.

[Tashi]

Usually pump 230F/270R, probably 220F/250R after 2 weeks. Just came back from JB with pillion, reading 19.x km/l at the clock. Cruised around 4,000rpm. Everything stock on my 08.

 

Did my own high rev run in when unboxed.

[Tashi]

anyone going to sepang track this weekend?

 

On the 15th this month, Pete, Mal & Max are going, they're trying to get me to go, but I have exams.

[nacl]

NightPhantom -

exhaust can is stock. everything is stock, unless u want to count the frame sliders, or maybe the double bubble screen. ok i admit to the air flapper mod, where the air intake flapper is kept open. tyres were pilot sports, pressures 250kpa n 290kpa. had a scottoiler on.

 

valve clearance should take something like 4 or 5 days. it tends to vary depending on the workshop u go to. theoretically, it can b done in 1. but i guess the bike has to b stripped, clearances checked, shims ordered, then checked again, put bike back together. probably it's the ordering part dat takes time. mine needed two shims, odo at 35000 km. the bike needs valve clearance every 25000km according to the manual.

 

usually some other work is done, u might replace the cam chain, its tensioner or any other part dat appears to need replacement... here ur relationship wif ur workshop plays a great part i think. i mean, dis could b an opportunity to milk u.

 

well, my fc did not just jump from 190km to 230km... it was over a period of some months, maybe 5, as i got used to its character n replaced worn parts.

[Tashi]

thief had been identified...

thief is from simpang renggam

 

Is there a mug shot? If he's identified, that means he can be caught.

[cheng0605]

Usually pump 230F/270R, probably 220F/250R after 2 weeks. Just came back from JB with pillion, reading 19.x km/l at the clock. Cruised around 4,000rpm. Everything stock on my 08.

 

Did my own high rev run in when unboxed.

 

 

 

alright thx for the help tashi, coz when i pump the rear for 290, i dun feel secure with it....anyway whats the normal consumption likely to be at???? i mean when does the reserve light suppose to come out at????

[Tashi]

For my 04 and 06, I'll hit 220km to 230km before the reserve light comes on. But then I usually travel along AYE then. After I switched office location, my 06 can go about 200km before the reserve light comes on.

 

So I'd say, don't worry too much.

[cheng0605]

alrite thx alot coz i see othe ppl posted about 230-260 till reserve light come off, then i thought mine is drinking petrol......lol
