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.
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
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..
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.
Glad I could help! Those oem tensioners go bad at around 20k I have a manual cct but unless you race a lot at high rpm a new oem is a more convenient choice
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..
Worried about my 08 after watching this, my bike has a punch mark on the left side of the vin above the first letter and a punch on the right side below the last digit/letter, so does that mean my crankshaft was replaced or just the clutch and coolant part? My bike sounds just fine so idk, just hit 9,000 miles yesterday , it’s one of the yellow ones
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.
All mine does is burn some oil, other than that she’s problem free except a electrical issue I fixed that was killing the headlights. My oil burning has decreased significantly since changing to motul 7100 and using liquid moly mos2 additive.
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
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 😡
You can call Honda corporate to see if someone had the clutch/ crank recall done if the clutch/crank service bulletin completed you should be fine. A lot of early bikes had the clutch whine issue and the first owners had it fixed
@@jakee_117 That's exactly why i need it for, I feel all the wind on the stock windscreen. doesn't feel comfortable trying to fight the wind all the time
I have an 09 and i feel cursed, mine is japan import it’s super clean low mileage but it does burn oil and my tuner can’t flash the ecu cuz the Japanese ecu is restricted and different than the us one, moral of the story buy a gixxer.
did you have to buy a tuning license for it? i am in for a restrictor remover tune today from a tuner that said he could do it..but he said i need to buy the licensing for my ecu specifically
@@benst2594 I paid around 400 dollars for the license and the dyno tune, the license alone cost 100$ from Woolich Racing but your tuner must use there specific tuning software.
Track and canyon Performance. Sc59 comfort and reliability 2007 sc57 I wouldn’t get the 04-05 just because it has 310mm discs it went up to 320 after 06 if you want a 08 but want reliability buy a 10-11 and up
Common misconception, they're to protect the upper fork leg from dings and the dust seals, if they were over the lower fork they could bind on compression
@@jakee_117do you still have it ? I just got a yellow 08 it hit 9,000 miles yesterday , just an Akropovic exhaust. It has the punch at the left and right side of my VIN on the triple tree, does that mean it had the crank replaced and clutch /coolant components? And how do you know if you had the service bulletin or not ? Iam confused lol
@@jromez631520 honestly the best way to verify is to call Honda corporate from thier website and ask them, they can see your bikes service history and let you know for certain just ask about any service bulletins performed and recalls

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

The easiest way to tell is to check your oil often some burns are to small you can’t tell by smell or sight

The “youre good luck” had me cracking up 😂 thanks for the video, very informative
Good to know bro, I have an 09 with low miles appreciate it
2011 is the year they fixed the early issues it should be bulletproof with regular maintenance!
Beautiful Gorgeous Bike

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

No problem at all for me aswell on my 2009
All mine does is burn some oil, other than that she’s problem free except a electrical issue I fixed that was killing the headlights. My oil burning has decreased significantly since changing to motul 7100 and using liquid moly mos2 additive.
I’m picking up a super low mile 09 and am hyped to finally join the liter club
Hp4s oil is what’s recommended and trust me your bike will appreciate it better.
I drag race a 08 haven’t had that problem
I have a black and yellow. No burning of oil. Got it brand new in 2008
Envious. Brand damn new!!
I bought it BRAN NEW in 2008, no issues at all so far very happy with it, Honda took care of the recall, I have over 40K miles just take care of it..
My 08 doesn’t burn and runs like a dream 😂 guys having a nightmare 😩
Mine 2009 and no burn oil aswell 😊😊
What kind of windshield is that I need I bigger one I have the stock
Good luck, I'm looking at getting one for myself
Did you? What do you think?
filmed like it was uploaded in 2008 too
Steven Spielberg fears me:)
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
All 10 and up bikes have most of these issues ironed out
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.
I got told from mechanic that the whine doesn’t do any damage to the bike, it’s just something that happens to those models.
Where did you get your bike seat from? Do you remember 🔥🔥
It’s a saddleman track seat👍🏻

Thanx! No -08 for me. 😄👍
Fair enough!
Buy a 10👍🏻💪🏻
I honestly think -06 and -07 are the best looking. But they are getting quite old now.
@@robertmolldius8643 only rare issue I’ve heard. If on then is snapping timing. Chains I blame the tensioner so I’d go with a manual cct
new to bikes just bought a 2008 ninja 250r going to upgrade to a 1000rr in a year or so are they fuel injected
Yes
Guys can I get an advice which modeli better get in hondas cbr 1000 rr 2007 or 2010
Imo 2010
quick question what windshield are you running on this video?
A light smoke zero gravity corsa windshield
@@jakee_117 Very clean, my next purchase

Mine doesn’t burn oil
Let me rephrase that. "Buy a zx10r".
@@eugenioteoli9225 I hear it was a hit or miss.

So the clutch thing…. If u pump the clutch the noise should go away or not… i dont get it, whats the good thing
Does your bike have that crankwhine also? I own an 09 its kinda annoying but everyone says its OK. All 08 and 09 have it.
@@Slimdawg2011 well im gonna buy a 2009 this Saturday but like I said i dont get it. The noise should go away while pushing the clutch or not
What's better the 2007 model or 2008?
Track and canyon Performance. Sc59 comfort and reliability 2007 sc57 I wouldn’t get the 04-05 just because it has 310mm discs it went up to 320 after 06 if you want a 08 but want reliability buy a 10-11 and up
Also the 07 is a much better commuter/ tourer but it’s a less aggressive chassis power is almost the same but the 07 is like 25 pounds heavier
Your shox sox are too high
Pull them down to cover the chrome part of the leg and keep them clean from dirt
Common misconception, they're to protect the upper fork leg from dings and the dust seals, if they were over the lower fork they could bind on compression
How many miles do you have on it?
31k with no engine issues!

in 3k miles i put like 8 quarts in it
so basically buy a GSXR then.....
K5 preferably
