    f4i not pulling in 1st gear

    hey guys,

    I'm a bit new here,

    recently my 2004 CBR f4i started revving high and only slowly taking off in 1st gear, instead of pulling hard as it used to, off a light,

    2nd gear and higher is fine, its just 1st gear that isn't pulling well..

    it used to be much smoother and I used to be able to bolt out from a light, now it sounds like a cruiser revving like crazy and not moving anywhere,

    can anyone help me?

    Re: f4i not pulling in 1st gear

    sounds like a clutch plate/friction disc may be worn. i know on one of my dirtbikes the clutch plate/friction discs  wore out and when i put it in gear it would barely even move at all with full throttle. replaced the clutch plates and friction discs and it pulled better then ever

    Re: f4i not pulling in 1st gear

    its been riding really nicely lately,

    but today it started acting jerky in higher revs in 2nd gear. 3rd gear was fine though..

    it also stalled when I slowed down, which was weird..

    is it the carbs? its an f4i, so I dont think it has carbs..

    maybe a cold engine?

    or could it be the gears again?

    I have been riding it alot recently and just put in gas on friday

    Re: f4i not pulling in 1st gear

    please describe more of what u mean by it started acting jerky in higher revs in 2nd gear. if you mean that when you were in a high rpm, let off the gas and went on the gas again and the bike jerked forward  when hitting the gas then nothing is wrong... its just the bikes power. the "i" stands for fuel injected. one time on my 05 r1  the bike stalled when i slowed down which was weird but it started back up just fine and never happened again.  i beleive the engine was cold if i remember correctly? that was awhile ago. did you install the clutch plates/friction discs yourself or did you have the shop do it?  usually when the clucth plates and friction discs are worn acceleration slows down alot and in extreme cases ( very worn) the bike will barely move/ or wont move at all when in gear

    Re: f4i not pulling in 1st gear

    thank you soooo much for your constant instant advice!!

    I guessed it was just a cold engine, and I was right!

    I have been taking advantage of the "i" for ignition and not giving the engine any time to warm up..

    but I learnt from my lesson and she is running like a charm!

    thanks again bro!!

    wish there was something I could do for you! if you need anything give me a holla!
