I’ve drained the oil today and stil no better? I really am puzzled at this stage the only way I can describe it is say for example I’m in 2nd or 3rd gear I give it full throttle and it justs feel dead no kick in it almost like it’s restricted it’s also the same in every gear, and also when the bike is warm or after I’ve ridden it for a while and I come to a stop at lights or when I’m back in the garage there is a strange smelll coming up from the front of the bike like in round the radiator somewhere and all the tempeture seems to rise pretty quickly to like it goes up 1•c per 2 seconds does that sound normal enough? Bear in mind the temperatures are colder now to soo :/, and Again all this happened after I serviced it..

You are all correct lol, the workshop guy noticed there was to much oil but he says he’s done that hundreds of times on his bikes and never caused any bother but it’s the last thing I can think of as everything else on the bike is fine. So I will drain the oil to the correct level and see what’s it goes like from there I know guys who have overfilled with oil to and there bike ran like crap so we shall soon see lol

There is white smoke comes from the exhaust when started up but stops once it’s warmed up, I’ve read online that having access oil can effect performance/acceleration due to the crank rotating and catching the access oil throwing it around making it frothy and possibly having it go into the air box also, this is my last option cause everything else on the bike has been checked and seems fine, I have a feeling this may be the cause since it’s happened after i serviced it

Anyone still active here enlighten me on this?.. Okay turns out it wasn’t the coils either, replaced them and still the same but I think I may have figured out what is causing this, it’s the last thing I can think of and it’s something I think we’ve over looked i might be wrong but when I serviced it I got distracted and put to much oil in it.. could this be causing the symptoms I’m having?

Okays think we found the problem were 95% sure it’s the coils that are bad and makes sense going by the symptoms I’m getting like no acceleration/power in lowers RPMs.. so fingers crossed this is the problem pretty bad timing just after I serviced it

Oldgrump I’m thinking the same also it’s to much of a coincidence there’s something not right with the bike and I don’t think it’s a head gasket either to be honest he is going to do a compression test and a few other things before he jumps In the deep end, the bike has 15,000 miles on it which isn’t a lot for a 2003 bike and it’s not exactly showing any typical head gasket blown signs, only being down on power and temperature rising faster

Okay guys it’s looking like it’s a head gasket

Glad I’m not the only one , I have left the bike with a friend who also owns owns a motorcycle repairs shop due to me being to busy with work, so should hopefully know what the problem is soon and shall keep you all updated. He can be the one flinging the fairings about the place now instead of me haha

Haven’t checked yet but will do all today thanks for the suggestions guys, funny the thing I dread most is taking the damn fairings on and off. Bloody nightmare to get back on again lol

Also if there was air in the system how could it have gotten there the only thing I removed was the cap of the reseviour but going to do a proper coolant flush and see where that gets me

Thanks guys! Have heard of guys spraying the air filter with a certain oil? I never done this I just replaced it without doing that but I’m assuming that wouldn’t be anything to do with it, I’m pretty sure it’s something to do with the coolant/radiator to be honest but will look at it this week and let use know how I get on I’m hoping it’s a pretty simple problem tho, hopefully nothing to serious like the head gasket :/

Hi every one I’m just new here, I am seeking some advice on my 2003 Cbr600rr I have just recently serviced the bike and now coincidentally after I have done that the bike seems To be lacking in power it’s just not taking off like it did and also the temperature seems to be rising more quickly the fan comes on when it reaches a certain temperature as normal but it just seems to be rising quicker than it did before.. so like I said I just serviced it. I changed the oil, changed the air filter changed the coolant (note: I did not flush the old coolant out of the system I just emptied the reseviour and put new coolant in to it) I thinking I should maybe flush the coolant out of the system could be something to do with that? But that W ouldn’t make the bike loose power would it? The only way I can describe it is that it feels like the bike has been rescricted but it’s not obviously lol, so if anyone has any ideas they’d be greatly appreciated, thanks
