honda cbr 1000rr fireblade 09

nice pic bro ,i also visited the same honda wing worlds showroom in naraina really the staff is v co operative

ok its officail .. hoda bike do not have quality and the india chaps have no idia what to do.
one again i try to start my bike today morning and guess what its dead...... again for the fouth time. this time done 5000km . all that the honda chaps can do i come over with a charger check all the points charge the battrey and say better luck next time..
The more luck bit is that all times it has died it was in a safe location that i coul keep it overnight like my office this is the first time it was in my home that it died.
the frustating bit is there is that honda chaps have absolutly no idea what is wron.. looks like i will have to buy a spare battrey and keep it handy in the box.

my suspision is that it has died every time after a 50km ride in traffice 1-2 hr.. the bike alwasy heats up a bit so my guess is wither the chargian circuitry fails after being heated up ot the battrey fails to charge once it get very hot.
any ideas??

how often do u ride ur bike ? maybe huge intervals of riding is the reason for this. discharging overnight can be a problem too so try to keep a rubber pad below the side stand.

Nothing as such

When the radiator switches on its fan, the fan gets it juice from the battery and at those crawling speeds, the alternator doesn't churn out enough to keep charging the battery. hence, the drainage.
For a change, ride out on saturday nights/sunday mornings(at places where traffic is less) and see if this problem occurs again

hi Bunny, get the rectifier and stator checked thoroughly. disconect the headlights, and then ride in traffic( to reduce some load on the battery) and check if it still happens.

i guess you need to ask them to check rectifier..as the bike battery is perhaps not getting charged..else just write to Honda India or Honda global any were and may be u can be firm and go ahead and tell them to replace the bike with anew bike as u dnt have time for all thes hassles..also ask them if PDI was done? who did it? how was it done? why the same problem.. raise a bit...escalate ..threaten for consumer court

Intrestingly the bike has always failed after a noida- gurgaon-noida ride in heavy traffice say 1~2 hr ride in hot condition the temp gauge reaching 108C. then being parked for 3-4 hr or more after which when i have tried to start teh battrey is too weak to take a self.

so one thing is establied as @sheelpriye mentioned that the battrey for some reason is not charging.at 108C both the fans come on (this has two fans second comes on at 106) and ofcourse the low bean is always on so its max load for the alternator plus one is riding at slow speen below 3000rpm (5000rpm by the book is the rmp they check all the vlotage parameters) and it may not be turning out enough juice to charge the battrey and run all the electrical

Honda guys have check all the circuit parameters like resistance and voltage readout for the strator and rectifier. under cold condition they all are as per the book.(i.e at 5000rpm)
thus they are baffled.
what they dont understant is circumstances beyon the book occure like described above.

Biggest problem is the honda chaps are trained but lack experience in real life situation so they are unable to think beyond what the service manual and the 1 week training in JAPAN the all attended.

Anyway they have take the bike to the showroom and plan to get all the peopel that they know from the factory to look at it, i have told them to keep the bike untill they find a problem.

I would like to complain to Honda head office in Japan but i cannot find any email or complaint center on line.. Does any one know ?

there is one for India but the Head of honda India Operation and Service already knows about this i want to reach out to Japan.

@Bunny--Post Honda guys rectifying your problems once again, would advise you to ride a bit long-ish on whatever open roads you can find and see if this problem occurs again.
Two fans + headlamp/electricals for sure will take a huge load and hence the battery isn't left with any juice to fire up the motor.

@bunny what speeds do u ride the blade i mean on highways ? if ur doin anything less than 100kmph the bike will sure heat up a lot.

I'm planning on buying a cbr1000rr c-abs in a month so i'm doing alot of research on the pros and cons and i found a problem similiar to yours being reported by owners all over the world!
Are you sure its due to heating??
Is your abs failure light flashing??
From what you've described, your riding in traffic and followed by parking and then when trying to switch it on, the battery seems to be drained and dead!
This being my first post, i dont know if i'm violating any rules by posting a link of another forum but just trying to help you out so here goes
C-ABS issues - Page 12 : Honda CBR 1000RR Motorcycle Forums: 1000RR.net

2010 cbr1000rr Fireblade ABS Question

try reading through the above forums and you'll figure out what the problem is! honda japan have officially sent this email to an owner who's experiencing the same problems as you...

After many calls to Honda Japan and Europe to find out what is wrong they came back with this explanation:

"Below 6mph the ABS is active, but not calibrated - once you go over 6mph, the system does all its checks and self diagnosis etc.
When you drop down below 6mph, to park for example, the system cannot self diagnose itself. This causes a problem when you need to get the bike into a tight parking spot or awkward garage where you may go in and out a couple of times to get the angle right.
As the front and rear wheels are moving at different speeds when you turn the bars back and fourth, it tricks the system into thinking a wheel needs ABS pressure and therefore applies a little power where it thinks it needs it. This is not noticeable when you are moving it around.
However, even AFTER you cut the ignition, the system stays active and drains your batt in 30 mins"

i maybe wrong but its worth a try reading through those forums!

happens to all the bikes all the time depending on the use.
Traffic = battery killer

1. Remove daylight headlamps coupler
2. Dont switch the engine off at red signals.
3. If the battery is down just push the bike to anything above 8 kmph and chug the bike into 2nd gear. Voila !

Happened to me once on the blade...rode heavily thru traffic...parked for 20 mins...got back to greet a dead battery.

Getting in touch with Honda guys in Japan will result in nothing. They know this happens and expect u to know it too.

SBKs and their shortcomings...never buy one

Liked the line in BOLD...

Finally i am getting my bike back today.
they have had it all this while and the final verdit.
they say that the RR (and lots of people had thier money on it) is not really faulty but might be cutting of the voltage a bit below the charging voltage required on full load. Although it is as per the book...
So they have changed the RR and now its voltage cut off is a bit higher , that would charege the battrey.
will pick it up today evening i have my fingers crossed.

@crazy_NJ good to know someone else is also hade similar issue, the guys here at honda do not seem to have an idea that this is expected behaviour of the bike and are rahter concerned. thanks for the advice i never switch off teh engin at traffice light just for the fear that it may not start again and sadly i have not been able to push start the bike once the battrey is dead, the entier electronics go crazy when its low light flashing funny clicking sound engine tacho needle keep swinging.
i want to disconnect the headlight but i will wait till the warrenty is over befor i pull out the coupler and replace with a switch. Till then as long as Honda is nice enought to recover the bike from where ever it dies i am ok with it... thank god for such excellent warrenty support and cooperation by Honda.

@therealabhinav thanks for the link intresting thing to lookout for. but i have never had any problems with abs the light has never flashed.

@bikemanic i would love to do that sadly the NH8 at 6 in the evening does not let you ride anything more than 20kph , and yes i have considered cooking my dinner on the way home on the bike's frame

The fourth blade on the forum.(or is it fifth?)
Congrats buddy.
There must be butterflies(maybe dragons) in your tummy by now.

And Happy Super-biking.
Ride safe.
