2008-2009 CBR1000RR before you buy

[CBXYT]

The burning oil problem only seems to exist for a small percentage of the 08 models. Easiest way to tell is to rev and see smoke coming from exhaust then uv got the problem

Very informative, deja vu. I had my 08 since 2015 and was lucky to have Honda address the recall on the house. After a motor rebuild and primary gear replacement, no more of that whiny sound during idle.

Finally an informative review thanks! Just bought an '11 with 23k miles and decat two brothers seemingly careless previous owner.. I'm about to replace the tensioner and let's how she goes.. otherwise the bike is a sweet ride still feels a lot tighter and smoother than the gixxer that I test ridden just beforehand.

i have the 08 cbr1000rr, , the guy i bought it of blew third gear in the transmission so he replaced the engine with a 2011 model year.. hopefully what you are describing in your very helpful video holds true with the 2011 model years..

2011 is the year they fixed the early issues it should be bulletproof with regular maintenance!

I’ve had my 09 since 09, never had any issues, sorry for your bad luck. Mine doesn’t burn any oil, and runs when I want to drag or drive. I don’t wheelie, so I can’t comment. 09 1000RR won Bike of the year for a reason. I would encourage you to look at the thousands that own the 09, with zero problems.

I have had my 08 for a long time now, and I have done both dragraces & wheelies. Havent had one single problem with my bike since I purchased it.
Some people are just too worried I guess. And about the oil burning some 08s do burn oil, and do not..

[seanpaul]

I have a black and yellow. No burning of oil. Got it brand new in 2008

[nakeshia]

Really helpful video. I bought one and noticed that. Never had it on my 2014.

[scoobasteev]

very informative man. I just bought an 04 600RR but if I move up to a 1k I think I might pick one of these up.

[preston]

Good to know bro, I have an 09 with low miles appreciate it

[freshfadez_barberstudio]

The “youre good luck” had me cracking up 😂 thanks for the video, very informative

[davieheartattack]

I have a 2009 UK bike. 25k miles and no issues yet. Does use a little oil

[TreyyDaMenaceFan]

filmed like it was uploaded in 2008 too

[anthonyturner]

As long as the bike runs strong, who cares about a little oil burning? The crank problems in the 08’ though, that is not good. Even that is only some bikes though right?

[Geroy_G]

No way bro I’m actually so sad mad right now. I just bought a new exhaust, new fairings, and going to install a new (ordered) integrated brake light and fender eliminator. Literally couldn’t wait to do clutch up wheelies and then I see this video. Bro there’s no way 😡

[simo.arh.mn]

My brother there are many people in my country who sell this exact 2008 bike From a clip I knew the reason for the large offer in the market I wanted one like it but what makes me back down is the abs
Is it 2010 and 2012 models Is it good? Thank you

[keithbain]

My 08 doesn’t burn and runs like a dream 😂 guys having a nightmare 😩

[Snazzbits]

my 08 burns oil and has crank whine, but it has the service punch near the triple tree so idk whats wrong with the dang thing lol.

[bogenegeno]

I drag race a 08 haven’t had that problem
