hey guys i have a 2003 cbr954 has anyone else noticed a lag n power in first gear just before 3000 rpms and if not does anyone know what could be up????

 

Mine feels like that... Just does not have as much power and then right at 3k it picks up. That the same?

 

I haven't noticed it on mine but I will check it out .If it does the sameI willget back to you.

 

could be a million things... any mods to it.. what's status on plugs.. air filter.. etc.. maybe it's just in your head? could be a lot of things hard to tell, ask a friend who has ridden a 954 to ride it

 

new plugs new k&n filter so.... but yes right at 3000 it feels like it grabs and then takes off i dont know i guess it could just be in my head thanks

 

I know exactly what you're talking about. The simple solution is just to give it more gas. Then you'll be above 3k RPM and you'll be going faster. It's a win win solution...

 

I have been complaining about that since I bought it. Thought it was because of the bolt on exhaust I have. So I bought a PCIII and it still does it. It definately runs smoother and stronger than before but still lags below 3k. If I get on it really hard from a stand still at 3k the front end launches off the ground. Since I can't seem to fix it, I guess I'll just learn to live with it.

 

maybe it' sjust how you are riding it... i mean.. if you are just starting off.. 1500 and 2k is not goin to be that "hard" if you are launching it correctly then it should shoot out of the hole... i have beat new R1's because of my launch

 

I think the VTEC has something to do with it because with my D&D I can hear an huge different right at 3k RPM... it's like woooooooWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Very different sound for sure. I don't really notice a lag but I can believe it.

 

i thought i had already replied to this...
the stock exhaust valve on everyones bike (who has slipon) doesnt fully open until around 3k rpm you can adjust the cable after i put a new engine in my bike i didnt reinstall the cable correctly and had trouble starting it, also it was set to open at around 6k ...scared the f>SDKFj out of me
