Honda Blackbird CBR1100 XX

that is normal price.. but ive asked a few shops already.. my friend did his full overhaul for $1.8k at bikelab (but he told me he used back his old pistons since its still ok.. only change the piston ring).. some knowking sound before.. now he lurves his engine more than ever.. I might go down and ask meng tong abt my bike.. wanna ask for his opinion.. im now 75% sure of keeping the bike..

 

With good servicing,things like periodic engine oil n filter change,coolant checking...engine last a very2 long time...

 

Last month i overhauled a petrol forklift engine that have 6000hrs on it...was surprised that the pistons,crankshaft and conrod bearings were all in good condition....Juz use back the old pistons,new rings and same size bearings(conrod/crankshaft),de glaze the cylinder bore and polish back the bearing surface on the crankshaft...Check out with the field tech. guys they told me this company got service contract with my workplace...so we do all the servicing for them periodically plus the operator is a chiobu...

 

Last week got another engine overhaul...waterpump broke,engine overheat and still the operator use till the radiator dry up...open up the engine,oil sludge was everywhere...cylinder bore koyak(confirm need to rebore,put in new oversize piston n rings)...luckily conrod n bearing survived...

he was diagnose with con-rod bearing problem.. i dunno what he meant by full overhaul but in the end he was charge $2.5k with some extra additional power setting.. but he told me he never change the piston.. so i guess there must be some parts that he did not change.. where did you send your bike to?

from what i know, the wrecked bb(i believed used to belong to a fellow bird rider in this forum) at bikewerks was sold off to racewerk. AhBeng told me the other day. The internals all still new. So bro Rok_yantzen u sent to racewerk? did they use new parts or 2nd hand parts?

[greysnail]

yup the wreck bike belong to one of the riders here,internal still new so can get fairly cheap price on that.

[hamsterwhale]

[hoaxter]

Hyperpro fork springs or ohlins? Which is better?

Hmmmm....They never mention anything about that wrecked BB......I told them to use first hand parts....roughly when the wrecked BB sent to racewerk?

[rok_yantzen]

Just got my overhauled BB just now......juz wanna ask some question...is it advisable for me to running in? if yes, wad is the maximum speed that I can ride?

And I found out that the vibration of my bike is rough? is it normal? Im still using my old piston but change all four of my con-rod, crank shaft bearings.....

Lastly the FI light is still there, so gonna bring my bike down to ah beng for him to check, whether its the knock sensor or the ECU.......

Running in at NSHW,to and fro.....touch n go to KL...wakakakakaka

[sujak]

Hyperpro fork springs or ohlins? Which is better?

 

i think stock fork springs are better.. am using hyperpro now..

[sujak]

touch what? anyway if you want to go KL for touch and go and running in.. do not ask the crackos along.. too dangerous for them.. they will sleep on the bike.. especially the BLUE one...

[sujak]

Tomorrow anybody want to meet for coffee? you can pm or call me.. a few of us are meeting up for old times sake..

[rok_yantzen]

so wads the maximum speed that I can ride?

[sujak]

so wads the maximum speed that I can ride?

 

correct me if im wrong but the max speed for running in is 140km/h.. can someone clarify for me...

Guys,when new bike are produced,they are tested at high revs in all gears before leaving the factory,its better to crack in the factory than with the customer.If the batch fails,they will stop the ongoing batch for inspection.Some sort like QC la.

So running in juz do gradually from 80 - 90 - 100 - 120 - 140 - 200 - 299.
