Things you MUST know before buying a Honda CBR1000RR (Fireblade)

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Aloha everyone! Let me know if you have anything to add or something I might have not mentioned in the video. I hope this inspires new and old riders to get one of the best 1000cc motorcycle on the market, the amazing Honda CBR1000RR (Fireblade)! :)

[@91TwinTurboZX]

Can you tell me how you mounted your ram mount?

[@clayton_1000rr]

Thanks for the vid. I would recommend that you learn how to do the basic maintenance yourself, oil change, fluid flush that type of stuff is pretty simple and easy to do yourself and will save you a lot of money.

[@juliansw3110]

@@91TwinTurboZX theres another cool way to mount the ram ball. If you get a couple of 2“ bolts to fit through the aluminium peg feeler posts, you can make a very neat platform between the ignition and the HESD. Here's a pic ibb.co/xjsdN2k

[@TheDucatiPilot]

I took off the HESD cover and used the screw mount for the cover. It fit perfectly.

[@TheDucatiPilot]

I have done a lot more with my Pangale after I sold the CBR. Thanks for the recommendation brother!

[@boen747]

86,000km on my 06 now, HESD works great. Maintenance is very minimal. All the new electronics new bikes have can be added to the 06 and 07 (e.g wheelie control, traction control, quick shift up\down, push button gear change and so on).

[@erichansen8268]

How ? What about the 04-05?

[@reid1boys]

I have the 2005 of this bike in black and silver. Ive had it for about 12 or 13 years. I love it and likely will keep it forever. Told my kids I want another set of plastics for Christmas and IM thinking either this blue and yellow or red, white and blue. Your bike looks pretty sweet. Good job.

[@CV4ever2]

I do have a 2018 cbr 1000rr But I bought a 2005 and I’m loving it It’s a raw bike no electric helps but it’s good with fuel and good for long distance ride, u can fell more comfortable than other bike especial when we talk about Suzuki

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Thanks for the comment! It's great to hear from someone that rides both the new and old Fireblade models. I miss my 2006!

[@GuerreroDelInfo]

2005 had the best design imo with the pointy front and trim under the headlights

[@rextvh]

I got my 2006 CBR 1000RR out of the box, as they hadn't had a chance to put it together to put on the floor yet. When I went in to the shop, which by the way was in Honolulu, I was getting something for my RC51. Then, the row of this bike caught my eye, and I was blown away. Anyone looking to get one of these should try for the 2006-07 rather than the '04-'05, as I wouldn't have grabbed the '06 if it was still the '04-'05 model. IMO, this is still the best CBR they've made, though the '21 SP1 looks like they may have finally topped it. This bike is only 388 lbs dry and can be thrown around in curves like it's a little 600. I had a choice of all the color schemes for this bike and almost got the (LA Rams) color scheme, but the black and red just looked mean, so I grabbed it despite having to wait a few days for them to take it out of the box. The bike is bullet proof, as it has had to sit twice for 2 years or longer, and had no problems starting right back up and ready to go with only a change of battery after a 3.5 year rest, and a change of fluids both times. This is the closest thing to the best bike ever, which was the RC 211V, but they stopped making it in '08, because the Moto GP bikes went down to 800cc, so Honda stopped making their best CBR and moved the exhaust from undertail to bottom right side, and the undertail exhaust is one of my favorite things about this bike. I also have a PC3 with Sato Racing exhaust on it, before they stopped making exhaust, which sucked, as theirs was amazing for this CBR. I took the Electronic dampner off, as people were having problems with it getting too tight at high speeds on the track, so I put a regular Ohlins dampner on mine, and there are a few other small mods, but not much as not much was needed for this beauty. Sorry for the long response, but I just recently got mine back and was happy to come across this video. I noticed you got rid of yours, which I'm surprised you did. Someone will really be enjoying that bike though. Peace and safe travels!

Very interesting!

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

@Rolls Royz it’s setup where they can remove a few bolts take off the side cover and slide the transmission out of the engine. Where the rest of the bikes you have to completely disassemble the engine to work on the transmission. So with a normal setup to get to the transmission you first remove the engine from the bike, then remove the head, then remove the sleeves, then split the engine cases and there is your transmission 5/6 hours later for a good mechanic. On the Honda cassette style transmission you remove 1 cover on the side of the engine and slide the transmission out which can be done in minutes. I wish they all had this.

I’m getting a used 2012 cbr1000rr in a few months so it should be awesome

[@TheDucatiPilot]

That’s a great year! Enjoy that beautiful bike and let me know when you finally have it! 🙌

I am in the midst of doing a valve-spacer install job on my 1999 900(928cc)RR, it was nice to hear that the ACTUAL repair cost is so high. Because this job is a BITCH!😧

[@TheDucatiPilot]

I wish you the best of luck man!! A valve adjustment is no joke! Ride safe my Friend!

[@BrokenRod73]

I just got one after I trade my trans am it is a 2006 and I’m scared shitless to ride it so far I’ve only managed to turn it on and wow over the noise but no go yet for me nuts still in stomach from rpm noise

[@twt3716]

28k on a bike is nothing these days. Good strong bikes. If you are getting tired of the dry clutch and basket rattle on a ducati then a Japanese engine will feel like someone is puring honey into your ears and double cream on to your genitals. It takes some getting used to but after a while you realize you have a new fetish to discuss with your Dr. Have a kinky day y'all :) Stay safe

[@lamarwilliams8334]

Lmao silly

[@King88_8]

Maintenance ANY bike. Easily runs over 100k miles when maintained. The best thing about HESD, you dont realise it's there. Ever have a slapper? Ever seen a slapper on a Fireblade? ... Well there you go

[@Abundance4LL]

Do u have to really yank it to lift the front wheel? Thats my only concern coming from 600

[@Super-Bike-Joe]

I’m subscribed. ❤❤❤❤. Why??? Honda fire blade. Cool bike. Never had a Honda.

[@Image-X]

It’s a steering damper.... NOT dampener.

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Thanks for the correction! ;)

[@Image-X]

FirebladePilot No problem. I can’t help but correct people on the term when I see it. It actually happens more often than not.

Not quite sure if that electronic steering stabilizer really does anything? Have you ever had any indication of the death wobble on your honda? Neither have I!!!!

Av got 05 repsol 9500 miles on it looks quality good runner also

[@Johnny2wheels]

I’m about to pick a 2006 up with 13k miles for $6k. Seems steep considering in 2020 I paid $2950 for the same bike but with 18k miles, but bike prices are crazy right now. Is there anything I should look out for on these bikes? What are common problems with them?

[@asurferkain]

Ive found these with two hundred thousand miles

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Hell yeah! They live forever!!!

[@buckwild81]

FirebladePilot damn really???? Well shit i was getting nervous with mine with having 30,000 miles on mine. Lol

[@frankp.9655]

Hi, Sorry to Bother you... I'm thinking about getting a CBR1000RR.. So which Years would be Great to Look at...

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Hi and thanks for commenting! I'd honestly look for anything 2006 and newer. Honda build awesome and reliable bikes and you can't really go wrong with a CBR. Of course maintenance and upkeep will be better with the newer editions, but I think you'll be happy either way. Good luck!

[@truejdm112]

I love my cbr-doble-rr 😎

[@TheDucatiPilot]

DOUBLE----AHARRRRRR! :)

[@daisy180709]

Why do Americans call it `Double R` , and in the UK we call it R R ?

[@TheDucatiPilot]

That’s a good point. I guess it similar to us saying color instead of colour and defense instead of defence. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@daisy180709]

@@TheDucatiPilot RR is defo better than double R , and i cant believe yous dont use fireblade (blade for short) such a cool nickname

[@gideonsikk8733]

No really need to sort valves until the bike starts showing signs that they need attention ....I asked 2 mechanics ..should I clear or shim the valves ....both said not until there's indication they need maintenance....

[@zenkatrij8326]

Idk how many times he said double r…. Raw… and a few things you should know. Should do a counter

[@4krider20]

WOW, what a nice looking bike.

[@skycrash1779]

Great video! Picking up my 04 fireblade tomorrow, im so excited!

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Thanks man! Enjoy that new baby and ride safe. Congrats!

[@HeldIntegral]

Fireblade refers to the RR-R model. Not the base cbr1000rr

[@vitor9088]

Nice bike 😍

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Thank you Vitor!!! :)

[@islandlife4141]

Do you have a power commander? I bought the RS5 yoshi and like you I am doing everything to it. Full yoshi, new tires, chain and sprocket set, intergraded tail light, and cell holder just as you have it. How did your upgrades hold up, cellholder works ?

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Aloha! I actually didn't have a power commander on it. The RS5 worked like a champ and didn't need a PC. I think it would definitely improve the rev range though. Sounds like you have some awesome upgrades planned. My upgrades held up perfectly and the phone mount was top notch. I sold my CBR last year and I miss it. Good luck and ride safe!

[@islandlife4141]

@@TheDucatiPilot thank you sir, so the full yoshi system ran good, no hick-ups at all, what was the difference from stock. I have yet to install

[@TheDucatiPilot]

@@islandlife4141 I actually only had the slip on, not the full system. For the full system you might need the power commander. The difference in sound from stock was amazing though. I would do some additional research on CBR forums to see if the full system needs a PC. Cheers!

Beautiful bike man

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Thanks Brother! I do miss this bike!

[@theseeker4313]

Hey where do i buy valve change adjustments?

[@TheDucatiPilot]

Any certified motorcycle dealer should have the tools to conduct a valve change if you need one. It can be a very costly procedure that can really disrupt the timing of your engine if not done correctly.

How does it compare against the s1000rr?

[@TheDucatiPilot]

The CBR was a more comfortable ride but the S1000RR's acceleration was unmatched! The biggest difference between the 2 bikes was definitely the "quickness" of the S1000RR. I loved both of those bikes though. Each had it's own quirks.

I'm planning to purchase 2007 model with 29k miles the guy I'm planning to purchase from said he already had valve adjustment last year as well as all the fluids changed bike looks almost new its a original repsol model. The price is around 6500 you think it's a good buy?

I wouldn't pay more than $6K, but it sounds like a great bike!

[@iNDOmOTO1]

@@TheDucatiPilot yes i understand if it was in the US I would not either but this is in my wifes country Philippines.. There they already pay more money to purchase due to the customs and all... So I think its a good buy if yiu are saying no more than 6k thank you.

[@TheDucatiPilot]

No problem man! Good luck and I hope you can get the Blade soon! 👍

[@iNDOmOTO1]

@@TheDucatiPilot I got it and I got even more lucky because the bike has 28k kilometres so in mileage maybe 17k? Anyway there is one issue the rectifier cables does not have socket they are connected directly, and for some reason the bike runs on low voltage im only getting about 10.4 and even when running no more than 12.4 and my battery dies twice already and sometimes the voltage don't go up when running any help? It's so hard to find mechanics for the big bikes in the Philippines
