Superspor231 the reason your bike failed to start is stored in your original ECM

I've used Vp racing fuels 100 octane in my 88 CBR 600 f1 Hurricane.. only because i ran out of gas at the track when i was racing, but at $8 dollars a gallon, I'll bring my own next time..! and i didn't notice a thing, but i do notice a major difference when i use 87 as opposed to 91 which my bikes frame info says use only 91 or higher octane only! i could have also used 110 octane right next to it but it cost even more...look racing fuel at tracks are mainly for low compression race engine that will have turbocharged engines in them eg 9:1 ratio 110 octane 10:1 100 octane 11:1 95 octane 12:1 91 octane. higher octanes in a higher compression ratio will sometimes make it difficult to start so dont go real high!

yes the servo has to b in the original position before the cable removal

I would be checking your tail light earth, or any wires in that area.

If your battery is completely flat you will not be able to push start it as you will get no spark.

I think you need a manual and you can download it here free:

Hi,Sounds like a code 34. What I see is exhaust control valve loose/poor connection/circuit malfunction. You can go to the following link and follow a thread that includes discussion of that code. http://www.1000rr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=81141 Also, you can download the entire manual (warning it's huge) with codes and all here:http://cbr.deathace.net/files/08cbr1000rr_sm.pdf

Just remove plastic located directly under seat with hand or thin object, under that is a Philip screw...take screw out and slap yourself in the face and say that was it!!!

hi below the seat, you will see a plastic infill this is a small cover, carefully remove this and you will find a bolt in each side of the seat, remove this bolt and lift up on the seat from the front, replace in reverse

Maybe try a little blue locktite on the seat screws. The removeable thread locker type, not the red permanent locking type. I just got a 2008 today so will see if I have this problem in the srping time.

if you look below the seat you will see on each side plastic cover get your finger under it and it should just pull off then there are cross head screws undo them and the seat will just pull off
