I have a honda cbr954rr that I just purchased in used condition with only 3300 original miles. But I have noticed that it's somtimes?
Hard to go into neutral. It just skip past neutral and go to second & it seems like the only way for me to go to neutral his if I shut the bike off. Even if I try to shift from 1st to neutral really slow it still jumps to second. I've tried to adjust the clutch but no help have anyone else experienced this problem any help will be appreciated
Big bucks @ the dealer… Unless you want to tackle a tranny…
A bad shifter or bad shifter fork or transmission has failed. See a bike mechanic. It will not be cheap.
I would guess that it is rider error.
When you buy a bike that you are unused to it often takes time to get used to its controls - and remember that you can reposition the controls to suit your boot size and hand size (and the previous owner might have done this too).
Mechanically a worn bush on the control levers of the gear lever can affect how precise they operate, easy to check see if you can rattle it side to side - easy replacement.
But if you just bought it secondhand have you changed all the fluids - especially the oil.
Ah! The CBR Nine Fifty Four Double R!
My childhood dream… But of course, with age comes wisdom and I eventually realized that a crotch rocket is just not for me!
If the bike sometimes get stuck in a gear when you shift hurriedly then its definitely a transmission problem. Happened to my old 2-Stroke Yamaha. But of course, it was such a cheap motorcycle that I never bothered to fix it and learned to live with it!
Up to you, mate.
Normally easier to find neutral from 2nd as you almost never need to downshift that far, whereas upshifting from first is the norm & hitting neutral by accident can be bad.
My Honda is hard to find N, too. And, when I Want 2nd, gets Into N! (The indicator is broken, so, quite a challenge.)
I wouldn't hassle in your case with a gearbox teardown. I'd rather put my $ into a new rear tire.
Just something to get used to. Bikes weren't meant to sit in N, anyway, they were meant to GO!
It's normal on those. You could replace the shift star detent spring if you really wanted to.
- I just pulled into the parking lot at work and when I got off my van I noticed I had more space to back up so I tried to turn on my van and? It was dead. I checked the ports and everything looked good. The battery is new. What can it be? I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey EXL
- O3 honda cbr954rr, trying to find certain bolts- not sure what they're technically called? Looking for new ones and having trouble finding them online. Not sure how to word the search. Replacing head gasket. It's the main bolts that hold the head to the engine block. There's 10 of them.Talked to a honda dealer and they said its just called washer bolts but cost $75.+ tax through them. When i search washer bolts even adding engine, head, cylinder head etc. Still find nothing. Anyone know where or how to find them?
- I recently purchased a motorcycle (HONDA CBR600RR 2009) but the steering makes a funny noise? When I steer the front wheel to the right or left it just makes a squeaky noise. I'm wondering if other cbr600rr owners have the same issue. I took it down to dealership they said its the wiring and its normal. Anybody hear any noises when you try to turn the front wheel right or left during complete stop or when the bike is parked.
- Is it worth buying an older car with original miles? I'm looking at this 98 Honda Prelude Sh that has 20k original miles. They're asking 14 grand for this car which normally would turn me away. But I see similar preludes around my area that sell for about 5-6 grand with "reasonable" miles. (140k-170k). Now I'm having second thoughts, any suggestions? No doubt I'm in love with this prelude, but 14 grand is gut wrenching.
