2012 Honda CBR1000RR C ABS

Hondas 2012 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS is the essential superbike-the perfect balance of power and handling designed to work together as one complete package. The CBR900RR set the bar for liter-bike performance when it was introduced 20 years ago, and the new 2012 CBR1000RR C-ABS sets that bar even higher. For 2012, the CBR1000RR C-ABS boasts even better handling via a patented Balance-Free Rear Shock, Big Piston Fork and new wheels. There’s big news when it comes to the new 2012 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS. The CBR1000RR C-ABSis already the essential Superbike, offering a perfectly integrated combination of power, handling, and overall balance for both the street and the track. Thanks to its magnum-level performance along with a near-perfect blend of streetability, versatility, rider feel and balanced character, the CBR1000RR C-ABS has for years held high the class standard for well-rounded capabilities. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the CBR-RR and in keeping with the original concept, the 2012 CBR1000RR C-ABS continues to supply exemplary liter-class sportbike performance, pumping out huge midrange horsepower and torque for class-leading real-world muscle in a great-handling high-performance package unmatched by the competition in its overall balance.

Changes to the CBR1000RR C-ABS for 2012 focus on sharpening what is arguably the most critical component in a motorcycle designed for sporting use: chassis performance. In doing so, they were able to markedly expand the CBR1000RR C-ABSs handling prowess and enhance its braking and traction characteristics. The main objectives in the further development of the CBR1000RR C-ABSs suspension setup included: smoother suspension action, improved rider feel, and increased grip and traction. In place of the conventional single-tube shock configuration, the Balance-Free Rear Shock design incorporates a double-tube design featuring a damper case plus an internal cylinder. In conventional rear shocks the damping force is generated in two places, the main and sub damping valves. To complement the Balance-Free Rear Shock, the front suspension system now features an inverted 43mm telescopic fork incorporating Showas Big Piston Fork technology. As before, CBR1000RR C-ABS owners can also opt for Hondas advanced electronically controlled Combined ABS braking system, which offers the confidence of antilock braking while remaining so unobtrusive that it satisfies even the most committed sport riders. The CBR1000RR C-ABS rewards riders who appreciate this machines unparalleled feeling of transparent connectedness, and who prefer to rely on their own skills as a method of traction control. In the end, the CBR1000RR C-ABS imparts an uncanny connection between rider and motorcycle thanks to its extraordinary balance, all-around performance and remarkably integrated feel.

The A C and Fuel Management Dilemma Part I









I settled on a new air cleaner after much of internal debate - Joker Machine (http://www.jokermachine.com/itemstreet2004.asp?ItemID=615&CategoryID=6&Placeholder=0). Not really an original thought and seems to be pretty standard issue on Sportsters, but its well-made, small and I like the anodized silver finish. If I hate it after I put it on there, then you might see it on eBay next week.









The bigger problem was deciding what to do about fuel management. I decided not to go the route of the Power Commander, FuelPak etc. because I didnt want to have to have another thing installed on the bike - more wires to hide, box to hide, etc. That pretty much left the HD tuner boxes that reprogram the ECM. I bought the HD Street Performance Tuner (http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524448775874&default=none). This thing just provides the dealer a way to download new maps from the MoCo. Apparently MoCo is doing away with the Stage 1 ECM map downloads with all new models, and now the only way to do that is with this thing. It doesnt allow me (or a third party tuner) to make any adjustments.





What I thought I was buying was the HD Super Tuner, which does allow the end user to make adjustments.



Of course I couldnt return mine because I opened the box and these things are not returnable if the box has been tampered with. These modules are married to the machine - once they have been linked to a certain bike, they cannot be transferred. So be wary if buying either of these on eBay.



Since I dont plan on doing anything to the motor, Im sure itll run "good enough" with whatever factory map for higher air flow and exhaust I get from the MoCo. I just need it to run a little less hot and lean is all. Im going to dyno it after the reprogram so Ill post the results when I get them...




UPDATE 8/12/2011: So the Street Performance Tuner is crap, and that is basically a direct quote from the tuner whose shop I am sitting in now. Classics such as, "eBay it," and "return this thing," were some other comments I received from the staff at Battley Cycles. Do yourself a favor and avoid buying this. If you are compelled to buy something from the MoCo, then get the Race Tuner. But really the best thing to do is buy whatever the person tuning your bike likes to work with. Bottom line.
