Front end problem on CBR 1000RR??
Hi fellow CBR riders
I have a great opportunity to buy a CBR 1000RR Repsol edition bike, barely used (couple of months). I really like the bike, especially the Repsol paint job, but I've heard some stories about some front end problem on 1000rr bikes... Some guys said that it starts shaking at high speeds, but it's very strange to me, since I doubt that Honda would overlook that problem...
Also, did you have problems with stator in alternator of the bike? I've seen on www.1000rr.net forum that they have quite a lot of stator failures within the first year of bike usage. Of course, that's not a big deal and it can be just a matter of bad luck, but i wanted to know your experience.
Thanks in advance!
I hope that I'll be a proud owner of Repsol bike in couple of days!

I have a repsol 1000rr 2005 with about 2000 miles on it and i have not had any front end shakes at high or low speeds an as of now i have had zero problems from my bike so i dont know what he is talking about as far as front end shake has the bike been crashed is the tire pressure right check to see if the forks are bent, twisted or out of a linement good luck

Hi guys, thanks for you comments. I've ridden that repsol bike and I haven't noticed any problems with shacking or such, but couple of my friends (they tried almost every 1 liter bike out there) have told me about that problem... It's great to know that you guys are not experiencing them.
I'll let you know if I bought the bike or not.
Thanks!
