Honda Blackbird CBR1100 XX

[sujak]

dropping by to say hi to my fellow bb riders.. can see alot of new nicks popping out..

 

1)ah beng frm bike werks very frenly but his workmanship can be justified.. try..

 

2) for after market exhaust, there's a fellow bb rider selling is delkevic stubby slip on for $400.. of you can go to motoworld and ask them to order 2bro for you ...

 

3) 2nd Hand Bikes are never perfect, heck even first hand bikes have to be recalled.. but of course for a decade old bike, wear and tear seems to be the main culprit.. jus change them and it will be alrite..

 

4) Talking about insurance.. I'm 26 and it cost me $800++ for 3rd party with fire and theft..

 

5) checking for cam chain, Alai once asked me to rev my bike up to 5k rpm and release throttle.. if ders a hissing sound (sounds like 2 sand paper grinding against each other), its time to change before the marble sound sets in...

 

6) dunno what happen to my bike, ders no more 25 blinks.. been 3 weeks already...

 

shud have a meet up and watch world cup together.. amacam??

[Circa]

Bro.. U wanna watch worldcup or the other various cups of the world... Hehe.. Bro.. Text aku number kau ah.. Ilang bro..

[JbAtRaCeR]

Coe bikes more or less abit prob. Unless previous owner take very gd care. Think my bb coming out le. Haha ah BEng at Bikeworkz do bb also? Long time nv go cause always must wait

 

Yep...he does bb also...send mine to do top overhaul last month after my bike gives out bluish white smoke upon starting and heavy deceleration..This indicates my valve stem seal is worned out.

 

Workmanship is 90% gd. 10% bad as the mech there did'nt align the ram air ducts into the airbox well enough. Thus causing rain water to seep in and i got a foul sparkplug 2 days later while riding in heavy rain.

[jimmyzee]

Broz.. Dun make me remember the sad memories parting with 600 cash on cam chain le... And these fi lights are long discussed for the past few pages eh... Well I am still living with a red light on throughout my trips to anywhere since I came back from sepang 2008... Can't troubleshoot as my side stand switch spoilt.. But still.. It's alive!

 

Broz.. Ride safe.. Gt photoshoot huh? When eh? Bro Jimmy.. Sad leh my name not even included in ur list of unknown if going on 19 June.. Esh..

 

 

 

Circa, dun talk like dat lah... i jus mentioned in my previous one... green bird makes the flock a colourful ride. anyway the ride will be on 19th and 26th. when im back will give all you guys a sms... cheers and ride safe always

Just keep track of your coolant level and engine oil for the first 2000km...Look out for white smoke or bluish white smoke. Top overhaul done at HKL or HLK?...If HKL i trust them also ar.

[sujak]

HLK is the CIPLAK version of HKL.. BUY ORIGINAL bro.. haha... $2300 for top overhaul?? sounds like installing a turbo in ur BB.. you sure bro ur doing top overhaul?

One common mistake is when they load ure top block down, if they dont do it carefully a small gap in the gasket will cause problems. Thats what happened to mine.... below 150kmh all okie but once u whack the engine the high compression will force the oil into ure pistons smoking the whole road.. then it will stop again once u stop whacking.. my gasket was off by less than 1mm... lucky still under warranty and i got a new set of piston rings and re-polishing of the piston top

 

well i just paid mine for 700 bucks plus 1 year 300 bucks rd tax and i am good to go for another year.......anyway i am 27 so if 22 should be around 900 bucks ah bro

 

wah for a 18 yo like me how much?

 

wow...... gd info. later would be going down heng motor to look at the bb...

 

just asking how much for the overhaul ah bro?

 

full overhaul with con rod replacement all change abt 4k

 

By the way, i happen to gana once when i turn on my ignition key, the FI light was there. When i try pressing the start button, the engine did crank, but did not fired up. All i did was to turn off and on again and everything is back to normal. WTH was that?

 

Honda electrical gremlins at wrk.. got used to it

 

are the hard panniers availiable for blackbird? cause most of the time i would be doign touring..... saw some blackbirds at pagoh r&r during vesak day on my way to melaka and fell in love

 

hi guys kinda interested in getting a bb also.... can i ask u kind bros anybody put panniers on the bb as i wanna bring it for touring and is it a vivid touring bike?

 

Usually the rule of thumb is if the bike came with hard panniers then the designers would have taken into consideration the ergo of the bike. If u add ure own then ure definately doing something to the balance and performance of the bike.. Thats why some say stock is still best....

 

ups for the birds ~~~~

 

 

 

HELLLLOOOOO THERE......:angel:

if u r gonna compare drz with bbird... it's gonna be superbly comfort lor.

also, depends on your height and length of arms. if u need to stretch alot, then prepare for back ache.

my bbird was still smooth and no vibes at 240kmh.. tried my friend's b-king, at 180kmh, comes the vibes already..

 

for me, i used the bbrid for commute too. if u dont mind the lousy fc.. on expressway super fun.. on small road... everytime at eunos road.. i will be damn sian..

 

anyway. whats the schedule this Saturday?
