Need some help good people.
love the old girl but want some more go from the off. Im Derby Notts area does anyone know any performance engineers and potential mods to release the beast.
Im no mechanic so need to get it done by someone.
Shes not slow in real terms but everytime I ride my V1 I get reminded of what modern power is. So let get **** happening needs loads of grunt, loads of acceleration how do I do it and from who.
I want to make the special more special.

 

Hey TIGGR,

Get a Blackbird!

I consider the CBR1000F is a 'Gentleman's Express'. I don't go scratching with it, and if I could nowadays, I certainly couldn't afford the fines or loss of license in South Australia with our nanny state draconian laws.

However, if you are fixated on speed three things are needed, fuel, air and ignition. Increase the first two in the cylinder and rapidity will result.
Wilder cam, pods, bigger carbs etc or you could just.............................

TURBOCHARGE


Good luck.

Cheers, SB

 

Agree with Sebastian. But, then, I'm kind of like the CBR. Older, still good looking and fairly strong, but can't run with the young bucks. Nor do I wish to.

A Blackbird could well be your answer. It would most likely be less expensive than building your Hurricane engine and turboing it.

 

the f was bought with the heart, I had one back in the day, sold it when I got made redundant then spent 10 years looking for one same year, same colour. She will always be in the garage. Her indoors also loves it. If I thought the I could slip a zx10 engine in there I would.

 

Ninja H2 anyone ?

 

Change the sprockets and turn her into a wheelie machine

 

My 1000f has a wiseco big bore kit, 145 main jets and a Remus 4 into 1. The front wheel comes up under power in first without trying but it still weighs the same.
I would try the sprocket change if you don`t mind paying a bit more for fuel consumption.
By the way it cost me near $4000 to get the engine built a sprocket change would be a lot cheaper.

 

David,


If you just want to get off the line quicker and accelerate faster then a sprocket change would be the way to go and that can be done at my place as usual.


Anything more than that and you are talking big money and not really a huge gain unless you turbo.

 

You can't legally use the top end anyway, so a sprocket change would work well!!

 

The problem is, if you can't do the labor yourself, it'll never be cost effective to mod the motor.

Go with sprockets first.
