Hello, I have been hearing so much stuff just thought someone could put in some input. I have a 2004 cbr1000rr and I hear that the swingarm is not meant for wheelies or the bike. I have rode a few and have not had much luck with bp. On my gixxer I had good luck. Although I have only had the bike 3 weeks and it has killer power. So has anyone heard of anything with the 1000rr or does anyone think there is a problem with stuntin the bike? Thanks to all..

 

Any new bike can get to a b.p. Some might be a little higher or lower. What everybody seems to forget: it is not the bike that really matters, it's the rider. Newer sportsbikes are more capable to do things than we riders know what to do with. Good talented riders can stunt anything period. Some bikes are better for stunting because of parts availibity and prices, Hondas can take a beating and still run. My first bike I said to my self this thing won't wheelie no matter what I do. Six years later and 3 bikes later I realized how wrong I was. It wasn't the bike it was my inexperienced humble *** that couldn't get the front wheel in the air.

 

Hello,well I apperiate that. I just keep hearing that the swingarm will not let you do anything and that it will always flip over. I mean I think the swingarm design is great but I will leave it to you guys for information. I mean Everyone says that the bp is impossible to find and you will flip all the time but just talk I guess. Also what tire pressure are you guys running.

 

it took me almost a year to learn a good 2nd gear stand-up because my preloading technique sucked and I had no help, I guarantee the bike is just fine. Some may be better than others, but I'de think that it is way too powerful to bring it under the bp, and stay in it. It will really want to flip once you hit the point on the gas.

 

you dont buy a new RR for stunting. the suspension setup is design to keep the wheel planted. the UNIT PRO LINK is designed from the moto gp bike the RCV211. that is true track bike. when BP it likes to loop you, if you never get it to BP youll just accerate very quickly. if you bought a RR fro stunting you just wasted 11gs. you buy the RRs for the twisties

 

Rookie is kind of right. The bike was made for the track. Lots of thought were put into the bike just to keep the front tire on the ground under hard acceleration. But, they said the same thing for the rc51 and mine wheelies just fine. Not as easy to keep up as a 929 or gixxer but I think any bike that has the power(even if it doesn't have the power clutch it) can be wheelied if you got some skills.

 

I have looked at alot of things and you say the swingarm is meant to keep it on the ground any litre bike is that way. If you look at the 954rr they have almost the same swingarm. I am sure somebody will stunt the 1000rr or currently is. If not I guess I will be the first to learn either good or the hard way. I would just like to continue getting inputfrom everyone and thank all of you.

 

Check out DARIUS on a cbr1000 in this months issue of Super Street Bike magazine, he is rockin no handed stand ups.

 

I will check that out. I say that the swingarm on a 954 and a 1000rr are the same or damn close and people stunt the hell out of a 954 well thanks and I appericate all the input. I still think the bike will do fine for those wheelies. Diffrent is good..

 

the unit pro link is completely different then the swing arm onthe 954. the 1KRR is 1.5 inches longer then a 954 swing arm. the 1KRR is a totally different bike then the 954/929 bikes. you cant even compare them. bike will come up on power but will accelerate alot more and force the front down. its ment to keep the tire planted and prevent wheel spin exiting corners. ive hammered my RR out of turns and have not encountered any wheel spin

 

The bikes are not that different. If darius is stunting one than it can't be that bad. Spinning your tires coming out of a turn is a difficult thing to learn and most riders won't reach that level. How far are you leaned over when you are hammering your throttle. Once you are leaned over its not hard at all to spin your tire. Let me borrow your bike I'll take it to the track and show you. The difference with me is the back will probably keep going around, It will flick me off 40 feet through the air. Your bike will be cashed, thats a high side lesson for you.

 

im just saying what the unit pro link is link. im more of a kneedragger then a stunter and i can deffently get my bike far over on its side but that isnt the point. the bikes are totally different in how the weight is setup, the seat position, and of course teh swing arm. the 1KRR has the weight more forward and low then upward. they did the homework on this bike for the track.MotoGp inspiring for these two new RRs

 

I appericate all the information. I love to ride the bike but also like to do wheelies so if the swingarm is that bad for it I gues I will be doing alot of time upside down then. I am looking for a cage for the bike and hope to find one real soon.... Thanks for all your input.

 

where in th burgh you at? ive been practicing wheelies on mine. nothing high but just used to getting it up but seems liek everytime it gets up it just takes off

 

I live in penn hills. I have had pretty good luck with doing wheelies 1st and 2nd just getting to BP in a few I will be there. Do you have a 1000rr also.

 

let me guess do you have a full micron on your bike? did Riverside automotive do it for you? yea i got a black 1KRR

 

Hey i dont know if any of you guys have seen teh new SuperStreetbike Mag, but Darius is rocking a 1000RR when he went to Austalia to compete. Apparently the rear suspension isn't that big of an issue cause he was rocking circles and slow stuff at the competetion.

 

I have a black 1000rr but no micron exhaust stock and stealth. I am going up to carlisle on saturday were all leaving early morning. The starboyz will be up there and a bunch of other people.

 

Pallindin18 is right. Until somebody can prove me wrong. IT IS NOT THE FU*KING BIKE IT IS THE RIDER> I AM NOT THAT GOOD BUT I AM SO SICK OF HEARING THAT IT IS THE BIKES FAULT THAT YOU CAN'T WHEELIE OR DO A STOPPIE> GET A CLUE> THERE ARE RIDERS THAT CAN RIDE THE SHITTIEST BIKE(like mabye a 1995 Suzuki Katana) AND PULL BETTER **** THAN ME OR YOU. MAKE ALL OF THE *****NG EXCUSES THAT WILL MAKE YOU FELL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR RIDING. BOTTOM LINE< IF YOU GOT SKILLS AND TALENT YOU CAN STUNT ANYTHING PERIOD. I'VE SEEN GUYS ROCKING **** ON 50cc SCOTTERS BETTER THAN ME> I don't make excuses, I try to learn as much as I can so one day I will be one of those good riders.

 

Couldn't have put it better my self. Practice, Practice and more Practice.
