i just had my bike in the shop for major
repair ever time you would roll it backwards
in gear it would jump the timing
it ended up being the front cam chain guide had broke off above the
crank it cost me alot to get it fixed but it fixed now
but now after getting back from honda my carbs are not working right
they work fine two weeks ago

i had a new cam chain all guides, tensioner all new gaskets
new bearing new starter clucth a gear that goes to the starter
and some needle bearing

i went riding sunday rode the bike for about 20 miles
and used 3/4 tank gas and it has a hesitation right off idle
so i think that idle circuit is clogged up
but i don't know how unless honda dealer let stuff get in them when they were off
the bike

thanks to the admins for this section for us to post trouble
and experiences with these awsome bike

It is probally just a coinincidence that this problem arose afterwards....the cam chain thing probally had nothin to do with it. Did you get a manual camchain tensioner or the stock one agaiin?? The stock ones are notorious for failing on the cbr600/1000

 

i put what ever honda puts in them
hopfuly it will last long then 14 k
can you get a manual one if you can where at
i may just put one in it

Greymustang, great idea of suggesting our own forum.
I feel at home now.
I have a 1988 Hurricane 1000cc, two tone silver with 4700 original miles.
I stored my bike after I bought it new in '88 for 11 years and I enjoy now like it was the first day I got it.
Right now is at Plano Honda (Texas) rebuilding the carburators since the idle sucked.
I'm also installing a new set of headers Vance & Hines SSR-2. The Yoshimura headers are a little too old and are rusted after 17 years, but they sound very sweet still.
I hope we get more people to post here.
Till then ride safe.

 

If you are interested in the manual camchain tensioner, I can get one for you ( including the gasket for $40 + S/H, contact Apex motorsports ( see link on this site)
Thanks!!
Tom

 

thanks for the reply i had no where to post so i made the
the post and they gave it to me
you said you had old yosh system do you
want to sell it

 

I too ride one of these awesome bikes. I dont care what people say, the CBR 1000F is one of the best bikes I have ever ridden. I have a 1993 1000F and LOVE it! I have the V&H SS2R system on mine also, it sounds and performs very well. Finally the CBR 1000F gets its own section, how exciting is that!!?? I look forward to networking with you guys to share our experiences with these awesome machines! Until then, be safe, and have fun!!![sm=icon_rock.gif]

I'm waiting on Honda to finish my bike carb's.
They did not have all the complete seals and gaskets, so they had to order them.
The Yoshimura system is old, but sounds very sweet.
The rust is only on the surfarce, very little specs, NO PERFORATIONS or weak spots.
Make me and offer including shipping via UPS, I guarranty your money back, if you don't like them.
