Ok, what about the other thing as what he says; raise till 5-6K RPM & then shift the gear; what's the top speed you get with this method? Somewhere in 135ish as he says?

Who all have tried these? Pls help with a list.

Now done with some 200 odd kms in 3 to 4 days,some issues i could feel the steering is very tight and heavy,at low speeds i could feel wobbling in my front tyre and i could feel it over my body(a sort of wheel jumping i dont know whether i could call it wobbling or some other term),paint quality over the tank area especially the place where we lean already shows scratches and paint dullness, any lights over these issues..

wid this method we can touch 130 kmph speed fast but after that it looks like unpowered ..
so better dont switch to 6th gear just pull it in 5th gear..

other wise ride it normally for touring and have fun @ 110 to 120kmph..

I have done 151 kmph on the odometer solo and it is 147.3 on my nokia e 71 gps . Regarding wobbling of handle at high speed,I got mine checked by Honda engineer and it's a faulty/rusty cone set.getting it replaced today hopefully,the spare t section has arrived from Honda after much persuasion .let's hope my baby Cbr gets alright today.

Exactly !! GUYSSSSSSSSSSS is this a defect ???? as most of the cbr owners including me have this problem !!

**TrueBlueBikeR** · 08-08-2011, 11:40 AM

Yes srivaastav it's a common issuewith most of cbr owners with rusting issues,if your cone set is rusted your bike will wobble and feel unstable on roads,after sorting your cone set go for tire replacement as the contigo lacks grip,my friend upgraded to pirelli sports demon both front and rear by giving his contigo and trading for pirelli set by paying just 3000 rs but the grip is amazing and bike feels confident to ride and corner, a much needed upgrade.

I believe it should work, as the peak power output is at 8.5K RPM-keep the gearshifts in the powerband, and the topspeed will be achieved very quickly.
For example, on a Sunday morning on NH7 Nagpur highway, we had a tospeed check-I upshifted all gears on my R15 at 4.5K RPM&reached 139kmph, I weighed about 78kgs.then.
Next, my friend who weighs atleast 10-15 kgs.more than me tried, he upshifted every gear at 10K RPM&reached 144!

I was a bit amazed. Topspeed is dependent on a number of factors like cross winds, crouching, chain slack, etc. etc. but then it always helps to keep the bike in the powerband-any time, any place!

On another note, I'm pretty disappointed with the topspeeds reported by all you guys of the CBR. I expected it to cross 155 atleast on the speedo.

@TrueBlueBikeR: If I'm not wrong, you were one of the 1st R15 owners, right?

Yes u are right mate,I was one of the first R15 owners in Delhi and formed a group DARK and I am privileged yet again to be one of the first few CBR owners but sadly facing issues with the bike. Hope it all gets sorted today.

Add me to that list too, none of them have cracked the 100mph barrier yet

Had a 620kms ride to amba ghat on saturday with fellow pune xbhpians.
Bike was a charm throughout.Tyres could use a better grip though.found less grip on wet roads during curves.

Had calculated the mileage few days before the ride.got around 29 only (35% city 65% highways)

cheers.

Don't tell me u were shifting at lower rpms and expected the bike to cross 150

Back when you had a problem with the old engine, you mentioned bike not going past 135. So what rpms were u shifting at?
