Howdy, all.
Hey, i am new this Forum, so please be gentle.
I recently bought a 1994 CBR600F2. The previous owner stated that the bike sat in his garage for
a year. (Sounds just wrong to me) I changed the oil,plugs,cleaned air filter.The bike runs but does not
rev up like i think it should. When i have it in First gear i cant get it to have enough power to spin the
back tire. When i try to do a burn out it just boggs down but does not die.

Got any ideas?

 

Who trys too "spin the back tire" or "burn out" lol.. some people I just dont know.. why would you want too abuse your bike like that??? sounds like a squid too me. We spend so much money too keep these bikes going and looking good & people beat the **** out of them I dont understand... can somone please explane this too me??

RESPECT YOUR BIKE AND THE BIKE WILL RESPECT YOU.

 

Yeah, I know. But that doesn`t help me.

 

Maybe a sqid, but he's new and asking so let's give im the benefit of the doubt.

Mr. Wilkinson, these bikes aren't really the tire-squealin' type you see. They are fast...but the power range is in the high end of the RPM's. I would guess to spin the tires you'd have to pop the clutch at 8000 or above and don't forget to lean forward. The more you squeal the better for Dunlop, Michelin, and Pirelli though...you'll go though that rear tire in no time...worn right down the middle I'm guessing.

No really, I enjoy pushing my bike some....that's why I keep it running well. But what I like to feel is coming out of a tight curve and rolling on the throttle and feeling the bike take off going through the gears. Tire squealin' is for sixteen year olds driving Mom's mini-van for the first time. IMHO.

 

Thanks, For the response. Right now the bike doesn`t even want to push very hard.

 

+1 alpine

 

pull the carbs off, clean the jets.prolly have a little build up in them from sitting. i love my bike but i beat on it too, its a rocket not a harley they can handle it.

 

If Your in the Raleigh area and need someone to burn some rubber off Your rear tire just call me up.

If Your not mechanically inclined I would take it to a shop and have the carbs cleaned and synced.

 

+1 on the carbs and get some fresh gas. and make sure the gas tank breather tube is not clogged

 

Yikes, its getting very judgemental in here, probably cleaning the carbs will do the trick but check all hoses under the tank to make sure none are pinched, and ask questions carefully or the pitbulls will attack. Maybe lean even further forward to get all you weight off the back tire too.
