Honda Blackbird CBR1100 XX

[sexyh]

Thanks Wan for the info, the underkit looks very nice but the problem then what happen to the licence plate? Where to install?

 

With regards to the Clear Alternative ones, Motorworld have them right now. Thinking hard on this one or perhaps the CBR954RR version. Two mind about the 2 options, will relax and ponder about it, not that the stocks will dissappear overnight.

 

Still better control my spending, cannot splurge my $$ or my missus will break my neck.

Also for those who are keen to upgrade their rear brake light look, i have to upgrade their rear brake light look, i have seen in a japanese personal blog that one guy took the Honda 954RR rear tail-light (LED) and installed it to his BB. Needs some trimming off towards the end of his rear cowl to accomodate the different sizes of tail-lights. Looks good, will try to provide picture when i find it again.

The LED light is nice...

Wondering weather any s'pore shop have it..

[sexyh]

Seems like have to cover up the difference in space at the bottom of the rear light just above the licence plate/ reflector. I asked K& T to order a sample in for me and stock have arrived, have not checked with them abt the price. No time now cos busy with work.

 

This is a sample picture.

Cos i reserved a set of OEM panniers at MOTORWORLD but it cost me S$1 OEM panniers at MOTORWORLD but it cost me S$1600 panniers at MOTORWORLD but it cost me S$1600 instead.

 

i am kinda confused by this phrase? ~?

 

 

Btw i saw those OEM panniers at MOTORWORLD Short street outlet afew mths back(sometime in last dec) i nvr really checked into the details (ie bracket or installation). but from what i can recall with my limited memory, is the big price tag of SGD$1400 didn't know they raised it to $1600 ????

My bike's engine sometimes just cuts off like someone has pressed the kill switch.

this happens only recently and only once in a while, esp when its after a rain or weather is cold.

it happens when i'm in low gear at low speed, pull the clutch in to change 2nd gear, the engine cuts off. also once when the engine was warming up.

when the engine cut off, the FI light is on. no blinking of the FI light. it just stays on.

from what i observed, even with the ignition on, without starting engine, the FI light will not be on. also not on when i engage gear.

 

To restart the bike (while bike is still moving at slow speed), i just released the clutch, as in push starting, the bike roars to life again. i've also kicked back to nuteral and use the electric start button to start. both ways work.

after that everything is fine already. it only happens very rarely.

anyone knows the root of the problem?

I've checked, ignition switch is good, batt connection is good, batt is going strong.

Could it be the spark plugs? say maybe 1 of the spark plugs has ceased, causing it to cut of engine, cos while warming up, i notice when i touch the bike's frame, the self side is warmer than the right side. the ride side takes longer to warm up. is this normal? or has it gotta do with the plugs?

2nd conclusion, i suspect the "kill" switch could have short circuit, but its quite unlikely as the bike only cut off engine when its on low RPM. if its the kill switch, then i think it will cut off at high speed too, which it doesn't. confirm only 1st grear or 2nd gear at low speed.

Very unlikely. Even if one of your cylinders is not firing, there are still 3 that will keep the engine running.

 

To safely check if one of the cylinders are not firing, don't use your hands. Take the bike for a ride till it's good and hot, take a water spray bottle and spray water onto the exhaust pipes coming out of each cylinder. You can tell if one is not firing - the water doesn't evaporate off.

It could be that vibrations are stronger at idling speeds or low rpms causing the movement to cause a short circuit. At higher revs the engine is smoother. Just a wild guess but you may not want to rule that out completely.

Just sent the bike for a check on the mentioned problem.

Spark plugs problem ruled out.

Sensors problem ruled out.

Gotta leave the bike there for sometime to do a complete check.

Mech suspects most prob is electronics or wiring problem. if that the case, shouldn't be much of a problem. But the problem is just fustrating.

Think if most workshops cannot find the problem, will bring it down to boon siew on monday for a check.

Chk the ignition cables as well. Bird have a common chafting problem. Do take note if it kills while moving the handle bar.

its nothing to do with the FI.

The FI light doesn't blink

its some electrical or connection problem. not EFI problem

yeah the bike will just like "on and off". if its the ignition switch, i suppose the headlights and dashboard lights will "go off and come on" again when the bike resets? but that doesnt happen. the lights on the dashboard does not go off.

ok this is what happens, allow me to describe:

 

1) engine cut off or bike resets (it happens regardless of engine running or not)

2) FI & H.I.S.S light comes on for awhile (as if you press the kill switch and on again)

3) after FI and HISS light goes off, just kick to nuteral and start again. no problem.

or if there's enough speed, i just kinda let it roll and it push start by itself.

 

i suspect its like what DuDu suggests. but may not necessary be ignition dirty. i suspect somewhere the wiring connection is old, thus not connecting properly.

will check on the ignition and electricals. thanks DuDu.

oh BTW i've checked, shake and twist the key while in the on position, nothing. shake the whole ignition, cannot shake at all, firmly mounted.

tried shake and twist the ignition cable and most other cables, nothing leh.

will send bike to check up again and let you all know the outcome.
