getting more hp on 08 1000

does anyone know which wire to cut to get the 6hp back like the uk bikes. i have read alot on another forum about cranks breaking, timing retarded either for cranks or noise no one really knows. there just saying uk 1000's have more power, like 10hp or so. this thread is on www.1000rr.net

What ever you do , don't cut the Blue wire.

Put a gsxr motor in it . J/K i thought the extra power was a ecm thing, and i admit i didnt read the link. Something common sense screams at me though that cutting a wire and gaining 6hp makes no sense, or at least cant be healthy for your bike. I would just leave it alone for now, someone will eventually find the proper way to get that uk power here.

What he is referring to is called the jumper mod for 05-06 zx6. There is a dead end wiring harness that if you link two wires in it properly, it will shift the power curve up and give you around a 7hp increase on the top end (dyno verified). It is an amazingly effective and easy mod. The Kaws had the same issue with the euro market bikes having more power. It was said that the motivation for limiting the US bikes was noise. It would be an absolute wet dream if the 08 1000rr was able to be fixed in a similar manner.

why? fin power freaks lol 

^ Because more is always better, thats the American way bro

just get the HRC kit in it and you wont worry about no stinking wires.....

yea but 99.9% of us never will use all the power a 600 has much less a 1k lol.

I wouldn''t EVEN touch that with a ten foot pole...
 
wanna increase horseees, go for the PCIII, full-exhaust system, racing air filter....dyno her and then let her rippp...

i recon you should just start cutting wires and tell us wich one works

here''s the thread i have been following

Wait a few weeks for Power Comander to release its ignition module for the ''08 CBR 1K. This will restore the power above 10k. Yes the US model is down 6 HP over 10300. I''ve spoken to Erion Honda and Jeff Tigert, Honda in Torrance and they both confirmed this. For whatever reason Honda is limiting the power over 10k.
 

Hi guys, new here. Great forum and site!! Just wanted to share some more info. This is the fully kitted PBM World Superbike ridden by Gregorio Lavilla. It''s the fastest Blade out there in SBK right now (mph).

The crank problems showed up during testing. Out of 8 Blades that were being tested by different teams, every single one had cracks, some actually broke the cranks. At that time Honda issued a memo to the teams telling them to lower the rpm limit from 15,000 to 14,000. Honda said they would provide upgraded parts asap. About a month went by and when I asked again about the situation, Honda had not provided new parts, but instead lowered the service interval from 3000km to 1500km. These are all production parts. Transmissions were next. Seems the heat treatment was not done properly and problems started to arise. So Honda sent another memo out telling the teams to measure and check transmissions after each race. That was not a big deal with the 04-07 bike since it had a cassette transmission, but the new one is inside the cases. You can only imagine how happy the teams were. Forgot to mention problems with the fuel pumps but that''s minimal. The other main thing that was mentioned by Ed is the HRC SBK spec ECU. One of the teams had to try 6 before they got one to spark. At Assen, on top of 3 motors breaking down, any of the teams that were using HRC electronics had all kinds of problems. From no sparking to not being able to get out of pit lane limiter mode, to traction control. Seems when the speed sensor goes it corrupts the ECU, so you have to replace both. The teams with stand alone systems (marelli, motec) had no problems at all. One of the teams has tried 23 variants of the HRC electronics and T/C and still can''t get it to work.

Just wanted to share this so no one is caught off guard. It''s a new model so of course you will have problems, just would hate for someone to pay a lot of money for HRC ECUs (which have no warranty) and end up shafted. I already have cams, pistons, valves, etc on the way but will sit on them until I hear whether Honda will take care of the main problems or not. As of right now my contacts in Japan cannot even get the ECUs since HRC has not released them to the public
