New bike... Power concern...

[Slyder]

First off you shoulda bought a gixxer. Mine never had any kinda problem like that, the friggin thing pulls from 3k pretty hard even in 4th gear.

That honduh probably has a slipper clutch in it, which is a mechanical device, which can fail, completely or intermittently. Perhaps something is hanging or sticking.

If the bike really is geared so tall, that the torque and power it makes is not enough to help it along at low speeds (which, box stock, you should be able to ride a litre bike at those slow speeds without lugging) I'd regear it. -1 front +2 rear.

I've noticed litre bikes go slower through towns and up mt washington auto roads behind flatlanders much better than any 600 or 750 (not including twins). So when I read your problem, I was thinking slipper clutch isn't working right. But on the other hand, you'd think that would cause it to over rev.

Wait...yer afraid of the damn thing aren't you? Ok, it's an inline 4. 1000cc or not, they're all big friggin babies under 8 grand. Baby steps, but give it a little more throttle.

I get 37mpg cruising at 5-6k. I dunno what I get when I am having fun on a certain rd in NY. But it's a good bit less when you bring all 8 injectors online.

Im very envious of the smoothness of the newer bikes. TheCBR has great fueling from the factory but to answer your question I would ride it for a while and break it AND you in on the bike. Sometimes the revs need to be a little higher to make the take off.

Jenna I thought you just wheelies through stop signs? Or was that just for me

Problem solved, Buy a twin!!.... Kidding but in all honesty if you ride the clutch just a little bit in first she will have no problem with bogging down or bucking, and much smoother when turning left or right from an intersection. My 675 does it as well if I just start off in first with a slow rolling start. Good luck and enjoy putting more miles on the bike, and congrats

My CBR does the same thing when I'm in gear at idle and hit the gas, so this is no surprise. Either raise your idle which will smooth things out a bit, or use your clutch.

Operator error. You're supposed to wheelie from every stop.

No... I wheelie away from stop signs Greg... You know this

Looking for some advice... I picked up a new 09 CBR1000rr this spring and just hit the 600 mile mark.

Twice I have noticed a "lag"... Both times I was rolling up to a stop, clutch completely engaged, braking, then rolled through without coming to a complete stop. Once I started going it felt like I was in 2nd gear, so both times I pulled the clutch and went to shift down, only to realize I was really in 1st as I thought... So I called the dealer and tried explaining my problem and they didn't seem to understand what I was saying. So... I am not new to this and don't think it's operation error. I really had to crank on the throttle to get the bike going, once it went it was fine...

Thoughts?

I think this might be normal. Our bikes have monster midrange for inline fours, but we are talking really low rpm here for this engine. You're welcome to try my bike sometime to see if you notice a difference, but after 7,000+ miles on mine I still sometimes think I forgot to downshift to first when starting from a stoplight and trying to be nice to the clutch.
