I thought I should consolidate all my posts into 1 thread.
Had a couple of CBR600RR previously
2006 Movistar
Which was replaced with 2005 CBR1000RR RED (best colour ever)
Then a 2008 Red/ Black CBR600RR
Replaced with 2012 Red/ White CBR600RR (Current)
And the fun begins....
21 February 2013
Gutted my intake. Did the splitting in half method very clean result and didn't need any dremelling.
Took 2.5hrs including removing the fairing and putting it back on.
30 June 2013
In the last 3 days.
Did a 800km (8.5hours) round trip in the middle of winter starting at 4AM with 8 degree celcius cold (46 Farenheit) to get my suspension sorted by one of the few Ohlins Dealers in NZ the same guy that does the suspension work for the top NZ SBK riders. A top notch dude.
Pretty.....
Front being revalved and resprung
Rear installed.
Came back the same day; and the next morning went for a quick shake down on familiar road.
The difference the suspension works made is amazing.. Bike turns in a lot quicker and hold its line like its on rail.
Gone are the pogo stick feeling mid corner.
Then came home and decided to install Annitori Quick shifter that arrived a couple of days ago.
A quick hint if you're installing the quickshifter; you don't need to remove the tank.
Just undo both side fairings and undo the top and bottom bolt of the radiator.
The radiator will swing forward giving you enough space to plug the Annitori wiring.
Mine was a bit hard to push in as the Annitori plug has thicker rubber gasket than the OEM plug.
There is also a grounding point on the frame so you don't need to run the ground wire back to the battery.
Haven't had a chance to go for a ride yet but running through the gear on the rear stand sounds awesome and looks very smooth.
We'll see how it goes on the track next week.
