Hi There

I am new to this site and, I am bying a new 2006 CBR1000RR in two weeks time.
Is there any pointers on how to run-in the CBR properly, or any other tips or advise that might be usefull.

I cannot wait!!!!!!

Cheers

Hi and congrates on the bike....

I got the silver on as well...

As for running in, I was told not to baby it but not to thrash it either... Just try not to stay on idle too long and not to cruise at a constant rpm.... Have fun and be safe....

 

What he said, and lots of heat cycles. (Run up to operating temp, and off till amb.) You'll find that e/one has i diff opinion on how to break em in . Maybe try a search of this site n see what you find. Have fun tho, its a honda, and unless you do s/thing silly w/it, you'll be ok. I've always changed the oil before they say to, but who knows if that does any good or not. Can't hurt. Congrates on the bike !! You'll love it !!

 

1st thing is to change the oil to mineral base..For a quick out-of-the-box fun, go for a dyno break-in. Then change oil again(mineral). After 2000km change to fully synthetic oil...

Again..as above, its my opinion only. Diff ppl have diff ideas to a successful break-in. See website from motoman or rouge racing for specialise reference..

 

yeah look up rogues site

www.rogueracing.org

these bikes are run in at the factory up to redline.

your new manual will not mention anything about rpm limits

as a matter of fact when i got mine the dealer recommeded to go to at least 10k as soon as i got it on the straight away from the shop and let it engine brake back to 3 to 4 k
in as many gears as the road would allow


many people recommend and have the oil analysis data to back up a 50mile oil change
then again 200ish
then the 600 (you can do it yourself just save the receipts)
then 1000

 

Page 212 of your manual will state "...avoid full throttle starts and rapid acceleration" during the first 300 miles. I was told by the dealer to keep it under 6000 rpm's until after 300 miles.

 

Welcome .This is a great site come here often. You will have alot of questions. you can get good imput here and alot of expierance. but in the end remember all the final desisions have to be yours.

 

Dont put synthetic in until after you break in the bike. Reason, you want the rings to break in and synthetic will not help it break in.

 

Congrats on the new bike.
