hows this

 

Welcome to the CBR Forum Daan,

Looks like you have the guys interested in your project CBR1000F. Always good.

Be careful trying to start the bike from a battery in a running vehicle - it has been known to cause electrical problems in the bike.

Good luck with it all.

Cheers, SB

 

Firstly welcome, you are a very lucky 15 year old to own such a nice old bike. When you eventually get her going, take care out there.

To put Wheelnuts picture into words:

(When sitting on the bike) left hand coil supplies 1 & 4, right hand coil sparks 2 & 3. It may look messed up but it isn't.

Yes, you will have to buy a special spark plug socket, 18mm thinwall deep socket. I got a Koken one but I'm sure others make them.

Good luck.

 

So to clarify TK (and Wheelnut),

Firing order is blue, purple, yellow, green??

Cheers, SB

 

Errrr... no sir.....Firing order is 1-2-4-3 (Blue-Green-Yellow-Purple).

 

Thanks everybody!
They were in the right place.

I've borrowed a spark plug socket which would fit. And it did.

Unfortunately the spark plugs don't work. None of them. Also the ones that worked on my former bike wouldn't do anything.

So I think I need to buy some new cables? Or should I first buy new ignition coils?

Ummmmmmmmm, yes TBT you are correct. I had a bald moment and reverted to my Peugeot engine building heritage

Cheers, SB

 

Something really weird happened.

Yesterday evening it started almost. It was really close, but the spark plugs weren't good enough. So the plan was to get some new ones today.

Today, I've let the bike fall to the right. I was pushing it across the street, to get it to the bike shop to see if they had a socket that fitted.
My friend was horning with his bike to me, so I wasn't paying attention to the bike, which I was pushing. So she fell to the right. Not very much damage, but it's still stupid. I almost cried...

This evening wouldn't she start at all. Not even a littlebit.
There was no spark. Nothing.

Just like the killswitch is on 'Stop'. But ofcourse, it isn't.


What could this be? I only tried to clean the spark plugs, and cleaning the areas of the mass (?) (mostly black cables..)

 

These bikes won't fire up easily without a 100% good battery fully charged up with
full choke and absolutely no twisting of the throttle.

I assume the coil wires going to each plug are "gripping" the top of each plug thread
correctly ! ?

 

Yes totally!

The spark plugs just won't spark.
