2006-2007 CBR1000RR Engine Swap

Today we will be swapping out my damaged engine on my 06 CBR1000RR. This is basically the same process for the 04 - 07 year models.

Learned a few things. Good video

[@chappierr6706]

Your literally a saint dude I’m about to have to do this to my track 07 thank you so much😭

[@MotoRiot]

Glad the video helped!

[@brandonatkins9087]

I'm getting ready to build the same bike same year model.

[@SnowDrift]

Glad you got it running again

[@MotoRiot]

Me too man

[@alski95]

Wouldn’t have been complete without starting her up lol but great job bro bravo 👏

[@MrJoanyh]

Awesome video, big thx!

[@MotoRiot]

glad I could help!

[@poloswag2011]

This was very informative. I am about to give it a shot on my f4i..nice vid

[@MotoRiot]

Hell yeah man!!!

[@jonathna11]

I have a 2004 cbr 1000 with low compression. I did a wet down test and it increased compression. So that means piston rings should I just try to change piston rings or just go to junkyard and change engine? Eather way I'm gonna have to drop the motor

[@MotoRiot]

@@jonathna11 To be completely honest, If you can find a low mileage engine from an 06-07, I would just do the swap. It will save you money in the long run, trust me

[@jonathna11]

@@MotoRiot ok I'm getting a quote for the swap it's about the same price. Labor and material to just pull one from another bike. I'm considering just having the guy do the swap . Just sucks to see all the parts I bought for that motor go to waste... I will try to sell them on Ebay or somthing idk

[@MotoRiot]

@@jonathna11 ya know, I actually pulled a lot of parts off the old motor and put them on the new one. It helped a lot

[@yongyea4147]

Thanks for the video... The beautiful $1700 running 14,000 miles motor from eBay has arrived along with the castle nut tool... So excited for the swap this weekend... I learned the hard way that I don't have a race team and constantly red lining it will produce heat and will eventually lead to sending part of the connecting rod through the side of the block and then melt to the inner fairing

[@MotoRiot]

Thats awesome man! Glad my video can help!

[@louistaylor8808]

Exactly what happened to mine the other day 😩💔 ripping the 💩 out of it all day and finally blew, piston rod melted into the inner fairing

[@NudaMan]

Mine just locked up and dumped oil all over my left foot and tire 😢 looking on eBay for motors as we speak

[@coltontryce8300]

Good video bro

[@MotoRiot]

Thanks man!

[@h1k4life71]

i swapped 06 in 3 hours.. advice if you are trying this... peel the harness completly off the engine. I dont even remove the tank. Ive done this a few with 06-07 its super simple. the spanner bolt snap very VERY easily so be careful. also i had a PCV on my engine when it blew. I changed engine and it ran like shit. I removed the PCV and its ran perfect ever since. just FYI

[@MotoRiot]

good advice, however my question is, how exactly did you remove the engine without removing the tank? you have to get the tank off to get to most of the harness plugs, as well as the fuel lines

[@h1k4life71]

@@MotoRiot no you do not. ive done 3 engine swaps for 2006/07 when you lift the tank. you can get to all of the plugs. its easy

[@MotoRiot]

@@h1k4life71 Ohhh, well yeah, I could easily just lift the tank. In this case, I took it off just to get it out of the way. I thought you meant you had done it without lifting the tank at all lol

[@connorjameson4731]

How different is this from an 03 cbr600rr

[@MotoRiot]

@@connorjameson4731 Its actually relatively the same, just different wiring and maybe slightly different mounting points

[@stewartmckinley7639]

Bicycle mountain brake bolts are the right thread for bodywork nice mushroom head 6mm Allen head. Better than plastic oem 1/4 turn

[@h1k4life71]

If you attempt this.. remove the battery first! last thing you want is to set somthing on the battery while its exposed.. other than that this is a super easy swapped ive done a couple 06/07 cbrs

[@h1k4life71]

George Parmer I say replace it you can get an engine for 900-1500$ vs rebuild.. which is actually More expensive than people think you have to replace all the TTY bolts and if you do one thing wrong the whole thing is bad. We just tore apart 2 of our 2007 cbr1000 engines.. the one that had rod knock had gouges in the sleeve beyond repair. It was a complete waste. I say buy one. Before you install it do valve clearance check it’s much MUCH easier than doing it while the engine is in the bike. Then just drop the engine in and go

[@NudaMan]

Did you use the same Ecu and dash as well? Just curious because my 07’ blew up too lol

[@MotoRiot]

yes same ECU. it worked well

[@cavemanproductionsXD]

thats awsome man my 07 repsol blew up so my buddy swaped the engine but now it running like shit. do u have a power comander

[@MotoRiot]

Yeah PC3 and tune off their website

[@MotoRiot]

Did you check to make sure the vacuum system was hooked up correctly on the throttle bodies and air box? also do you still have your EGR system and flapper on the front side of the air box above the coil packs?

[@cavemanproductionsXD]

MotoRiot not gona lie I don’t have much experience working on engines, my buddy swapped it for me, he’s saying it runs shitty because it needs to be retuned becaue after u swap with a power commander u haveto reset it idk 🙃😢

[@MotoRiot]

@@cavemanproductionsXD Hmm, something doesnt sound right. When I swapped mine, I didnt have to change my tune at all on my power commander. The same tune is still in there from the old engine and its even faster than it was previously

[@MotoRiot]

@@cavemanproductionsXD Did you have a power commander in the bike when the engine blew up?

[@Daisho289]

What is the Newest model CBR1k engine that will fit in a 06-07 model CBR1k if yu wanted to swap?

[@MotoRiot]

So im not sure if any models newer than 07 would bolt up, but any engine from 04 to 07 will work. I may have seen someone use a 2012 motor in their 07 frame but youd have to research it further.

[@Daisho289]

@@MotoRiot I appreciate the feedback bc research has been pretty rough, my goal is 198mph+ , do yu have any recommendations for achieving this speed without turbo or boost for a 06-07?

[@MotoRiot]

@@Daisho289 You're likely not gonna get past 180 on this platform without a serious engine build, tuning, and proper gearing. With boost you would likely want to build the engine anyways

[@whyimihereforlifelol]

What tools do you recommend I’m trying to do this on my 2004

[@MotoRiot]

Set of wrenches, set of metric sockets, set of allen keys, screwdrivers, pliers, wire cutters, wire strippers, some specialty sockets, and a special tool called a Honda Castle Nut wrench. I might be missing something but those are most of what you will need

[@alixstewart4889]

Hey bro , where did you get your second engine to buy , is there's a site ? ....... because I'm really in need of a gsxr1000 engine to purchase

[@MotoRiot]

Theres a guy on Ebay that i got it from here locally in Georgia. You can usually find a good seller in your area from Ebay or LKQ in some cases.

[@hectorcole9511]

Hi...great vid. Will an 03 engine fit the chasis of an 07?

[@MotoRiot]

No, the 1000RR was started in 04. The 03 was a 954 and its a completely different frame and engine

[@vadimkovalev8155]

MotoRiot I got an 04 cbr1krr I can’t find the same year engines tbh I can find like 07 or 08 engines but that’s pretty much it. Idk whether they’ll fit.... also thinking of doing a engine overhaul/rebuild instead of swapping. Idk. Don’t have the engine out idek what’s wrong with it. Literally got a blown engine for a dealer but they didn’t tell much info... doesn’t seem like these a gaping hole in the block tho so that’s a good sign right?

[@MotoRiot]

@@vadimkovalev8155 The 04 to 07 engine is basically the same. You could get a motor from any of those years and it would work in your frame. The only thing is that some of the sensor plugs are different, but there are many many forums on the topic of that particular swap. It is much cheaper, quicker, and easier to just swap the engine rather than try to rebuild it. You need to know what the hell you are doing if you rebuild it, but I would say anyone could do a simple swap.

[@bricenorris5606]

Hey I actually bought this exact bike (previous owner showed me this video) probably 9 months or so ago. Can you please tell me a bit about the bike and the mileage of the engine you put in. Appreciate it.

[@MotoRiot]

Basically the mileage of the engine that was put in was at 10k and the original engine was at 26k but was swapped because the clutch basket exploded and cracked the cylinder wall. Anything else you wanna know?

[@MotoRiot]

Wait you actually own this bike now?? email me [e-mail]

[@MotoRiot]

@Lex Man You should definitely inspect it or get it inspected, see if anything is broken or worn out, and yes, replace if needed. Theres a few posts on the fireblade forums on how to do it properly. Hope this helps!

[@vadimkovalev4182]

Yo broski I got 2004 cbr1krr that I’m tryna do an engine swap/rebuild on and I’m having a few problems with it. Do you have an email or something that I can contact you on? I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks!

[@MotoRiot]

Yeah it's [e-mail]

[@tylersommer298]

How long did it take you? What new parts did you need?

[@MotoRiot]

It took a few days because of my schedule, but could be done in less than a day, and it didn't require any new parts, only the special tool to remove the castle nut

[@tylersommer298]

Do you think setting aside 5 hours would be a good call? Did you put in new spark plugs ?

[@MotoRiot]

@@tylersommer298 If you have no interruptions and have everything you need, then id say 5 hours would be plenty. Also, it will help to have a friend when getting it out and putting it back in. And yes, I threw in some really nice NGKs

[@vincebaildham7530]

What happened to original engine???? Why the swap?? What failed?

[@MotoRiot]

Clutch basket exploded during a 1st to 2nd shift at WOT and cracked 2 of the cylinder walls. The motor and trans arent separate things so I searched and found a great deal on a low mileage motor. I dont have the bike anymore
