Reply With QuoteLooking good..Great write up.
With the love of the cbr 600rr and the fact that my current rebuild project was taking a bit too long , i was looking for something at the auction that may speed up me getting to the next trackday outing in stead of using my roadie .
I took a bit of a gamble and didnt go out to see it in person (dont do this unless your happy to end up with just a pile of spare parts) I thought if its too bad then ill use it for the donor for my next rebuild project. I was very surprised at how low it went for , I knew it didnt have a key and a few goodies on it like the asv levers and the akrapovic slip on , so I thought there must be something major , couldnt wait to go and pick it up.
Picked her up the same day , got her home and up on the table to start undressing her ..
With just sticking with one bike when doing the rebuilds you collect spares and luckily i had a spare subframe and other pieces around to replace the broken / missing parts
So she looked good on first inspection . Asv levers were untouched , and even the mid fairings were saved by the oggy knobs .
Started to remove the tank and noticed extra plugs !! looks like someone needed the power commander unit and has ripped it out , but left a lot of plugs attatched .
Only noticeable damage once the tank was removed was the lh side top mount on the frame , damaged but not too much to worry about . (the other 3 mounts would hold it for now )
Removed the lower side fairings and had a nice surprise... looks like they couldnt get to the quickshifter , pulled the cable and left the plug attatched
Even better surprise up at the front .. a full Akrapovic system (possibly the titanium version)
I started to remove the oggy knob arrangement to access the par system to remove it and was very impressed at the nice bit of workmanship gone in to make these , looks much better than using just the engine mounts through the frame although weigh considerably more . These mount to the frame in several placed and go right through behind the radiator.
After the tank was removed i had to replace one plug on the wiring harness to the injectors as this had been ripped out , luckily they left some extra ones for me to use . No key ment i have to use the ecu from the states and because i only had the 07 -08 one handy (code A02) i had to modify a wire on the ecu for the knock sensor (http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.p...9+knock+sensor) . Also add 12 v to another pin to bypass the H.I.S.S (mod available from the 600rr forum http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.p...ht=bypass+hiss) If doing the mod for the hiss its relatively easy but you need an extra pin , i had an old wiring harness to strip it off .
Starting to come together with a new subframe and straightened the exhaust. The swing arm was too good so it was removed for my roadie and another fitted .
Ram air tube gutted with side holes filled to mount aftermarket clock bracket. New woodcraft clipons with the risers next to fit .
New tank fitted and i took the lock with the passenger seat lock (need this for to the locksmiths to get a couple of numbers from) to get 2 keys cut $65 . Now i can remove the gas cap and fit on the new tank.
Wiring harness refitted back into battery tray . New Shorai lithium battery purchased on ebay and delivered for $165 now fitted . Oil change and new filter done and its time to start her up .
All good and sounds sweet on start up .. a nice feeling when it all comes to life.
A few more goodies fitted , Annitori quickshifter from Superbike Source - http://superbikesource.com.au/produc...sion-2%27.html , GB engine casing covers .
Mobile phone holder / lap timer display.

Nice work & great write up. When are you riding next? And shouldn't the title be "racebike build"?
Hopefully ill be at the next ardc day on the 29th March . Yes it possibly should be "racebuild" but i did this build relatively quick for the last ardc day i was hoping to get to . The original build thats taken a back seat at the moment is the one for the st George meet in November as its an 07 build . Im starting to do a few other mods which i'll post up just in case i need to race this like the lock wiring , fluid overflows ...Originally Posted by senator8
Nice work mate, looking good. Does this mean i have to find a clubsport bike as well as my 10 ?!
And why does your user ID look like my race number ?
Yes you need a clubsport bike , the one you have at the moment is way too good to be racing with ... and yes thats my race number , ill let you use it for now .. make sure you reserve it for next year or its...gone.!!!!
Just renewed my licence and unfortunately "your" race number was the best one available.
Its not anymore Rob, its kinda mine now. Like i said to Rick, its just a coupla fat ladies with an arsehole in between them.
I think he felt he resembled that remark....
