Hey all Well I have just bought a 59 CBR 1000 with 5174 miles on the clock so thought would introduce myself I have move up from a 2005 GXSR 600 so now its time to have some fun with the litres Below are a couple of pics let the modding begin
yeah well happy with it already been polished just waiting for this snow to disappear then its bye bye mrs hello open road cant wait for the freedom no more ball and chain lol
I've always had a soft spot for that scheme Jimi. Welcome in. Of, and thanks for Electric Ladyland too, epic.
Hey guys just one thing i have been warned on is the cbr drinks oil is it a bad as i have been told??
Ermmmmm, well.........Yes and no mate. Some do, Some don't. 08s seem particularly troublesome so you need to subscribe to either of two houses. One says that an engine in this state of tune will, as needs must, burn oil in the normal course of events. The other house says that the best engine manufacturer in the world is copping out when it claims the above and there must be a fix that they are not willing to fit the bill to supply. And never the twain shall meet. Pick a number Jimi.
Just keep an eye on it mate. It either won't or it'll go down noticeably quickly. Keep some top up handy and don't get lulled into Japanese dependability as far as its consumption. It's a known issue and Honda claim its normal to burn it so not worth pulling your hair out over as long as you keep on top of it.
Agree with ken, that's the colour scheme that I saw and knew I wanted a blade, and welcome. Top marks for posting pics on your first post
Welcome aboard Jimi, the move from the gixxer is a good one.I moved up from a k1 600 and what a difference these blades make.I'm sure you will enjoy it.
