The burning oil problem only seems to exist for a small percentage of the 08 models. Easiest way to tell is to rev and see smoke coming from exhaust then uv got the problem

The easiest way to tell is to check your oil often some burns are to small you can’t tell by smell or sight

Very informative, deja vu. I had my 08 since 2015 and was lucky to have Honda address the recall on the house. After a motor rebuild and primary gear replacement, no more of that whiny sound during idle.

2011 is the year they fixed the early issues it should be bulletproof with regular maintenance!

Finally an informative review thanks! Just bought an '11 with 23k miles and decat two brothers seemingly careless previous owner.. I'm about to replace the tensioner and let's how she goes.. otherwise the bike is a sweet ride still feels a lot tighter and smoother than the gixxer that I test ridden just beforehand.

Glad I could help! Those oem tensioners go bad at around 20k I have a manual cct but unless you race a lot at high rpm a new oem is a more convenient choice

i have the 08 cbr1000rr,, the guy i bought it of blew third gear in the transmission so he replaced the engine with a 2011 model year.. hopefully what you are describing in your very helpful video holds true with the 2011 model years..

I have had my 08 for a long time now, and I have done both dragraces & wheelies. Havent had one single problem with my bike since I purchased it. Some people are just too worried I guess. And about the oil burning some 08s do burn oil, and do not..

Worried about my 08 after watching this, my bike has a punch mark on the left side of the vin above the first letter and a punch on the right side below the last digit/letter, so does that mean my crankshaft was replaced or just the clutch and coolant part? My bike sounds just fine so idk, just hit 9,000 miles yesterday , it’s one of the yellow ones

I’ve had my 09 since 09, never had any issues, sorry for your bad luck. Mine doesn’t burn any oil, and runs when I want to drag or drive. I don’t wheelie, so I can’t comment. 09 1000RR won Bike of the year for a reason. I would encourage you to look at the thousands that own the 09, with zero problems.

I have a 2009 UK bike. 25k miles and no issues yet. Does use a little oil

No way bro I’m actually so sad mad right now. I just bought a new exhaust, new fairings, and going to install a new (ordered) integrated brake light and fender eliminator. Literally couldn’t wait to do clutch up wheelies and then I see this video. Bro there’s no way 😡

You can call Honda corporate to see if someone had the clutch/ crank recall done if the clutch/crank service bulletin completed you should be fine. A lot of early bikes had the clutch whine issue and the first owners had it fixed

my 08 burns oil and has crank whine, but it has the service punch near the triple tree so idk whats wrong with the dang thing lol.

I got told from mechanic that the whine doesn’t do any damage to the bike, it’s just something that happens to those models.

I drag race a 08 haven’t had that problem

I have an 09 and i feel cursed, mine is japan import it’s super clean low mileage but it does burn oil and my tuner can’t flash the ecu cuz the Japanese ecu is restricted and different than the us one, moral of the story buy a gixxer.
