CBR1000RR Fireblade stuffs

Hi,

new owner here, 2005 model.

1. Anyone have recommendation on what radar detector mount I should get/make/buy/steal? Have looked at the ramsolutions.co.nz and they have more variety than kama sutra's sex position. Im totally lost there.

2. Anyone have any experience with the TankSlapper paint protection stuff?

3. Does yours clunk very hard when shifting from neutral to 1st gear when the temperature is over 60 degrees?

Confused.

Are you suggesting that there is a paint that protects you from having a tankslapper?

Stealth technology has proven useful at last!

I fail to see the correlation between stealth technology and a tankslapper, unless you're talking about parking warden slapping your tank with a parking ticket.

A group of us (4 x 05 Fireblades) all had the same clunk problem...Cyclespot indicated that it was normal for the Honda design but I wasn't totally comfortable with it. Also, I had problems with fast shifting from 1st to 2nd as it kicks into neutral instead. All the best with the blade...

It's ok.
GSXR owner gets to be the one who drops the soap in the next Fight Club meeting.
That's the rule and it applies even to the club founder.

Back to a Blade, eh......

My bet is that you're running Motul oil. Try something else like Castrol. It made gear changes a lot smoother.

WINJA reckons mobil1 is the best oil for motorbikes and makes the box nice and smooth.

but what would that fat fucker know.

[Deano]

I'm using Mobil 1 and my box is still pretty clunky. Should have bought a Gixxer.......

:)

it's addiction.

Btw, what oil does AMPS use?

1. We have covered this.
2. Are you talking normal tank protector or side protection? cos mine is bleck, I had that bonnet protection stuff applied - works a treat
3. Intermittantly yes - worsens when its time for an oil change. I use Castrol GPS and change it at 6k on the button and it this manages it a little. Don't worry yourself over it. My 04 is same as the 06.

Yes Yes. Lets do it. We never did get to have an offical final send-off from the Road Chapter of FC.

I found Repsol was pretty good in the gearbox stakes - worked well in the SP.

Haven't had the clunking issue with my '07, though it's only done 2300 kms so far. Can suffer from a vibration when changing from 1st to 2nd slowly: the lever kinda bounces back and forth. Nothing serious and doesn't happen if you make sure you shift positively.

My old VTR had a very similar problem, and also suffered from clunk-itis. Cyclespot also said that was absolutely normal.

Marmoot I had a CBR1000RR in 04/05 and bought a mount from Dick Smith. I can't find a photo that shows it on the bike.
It was a bracket for attaching a large (CB?) aerial to the rear of a car, maybe to a tow bar ball or something like that. It was sort of a flat metal strip bent into a Z shape - if that description makes any sense. Solid as and I attached it using the top left screw on the steering damper. Took about 40 seconds to fit and cost $15. Beat that. I stuck velcro on the bracket top surface (obviously) and the under side of the V1 detector. Position was ideal, out of hands/handlebar way, didn't obscure the dials & controls and was behind the screen for rain cover and clear view of the road ahead.
Can't remember my gearbox being particularly noisy, just usual Honda clunky.
Edit - after all that description I bloody found it! So here is a pic. - and No you can't have it

" Mobil 1 isn't a bike rated oil !!" Mobil 1 4T is . Spectra gold is one of the best oils I have used & mate has just put it into his 04 CBR1000RR after he complained about shitty gear box changing etc , He cann't believe the difference even when just idling its smoother .
