I have a 2009 CBF1000 and also 2012 CBF1000. The 2012 when you let the clutch out, RPM will increase 200 to 300 RPMs. That happens so it'll prevent it from stalling when engaging 1st gear. The 2009 CBF doesn't have that feature. I also read the last few pages on this and nobody mentioned cleaning their negative cable to the body. Sometimes corrosion gives you a lot of Gremlins. The one guy I remember that posted a few pages down changed his battery I wonder if he was able to clean the negative cable to the body so he didn't have any problems after that. The 2009 CBF is notorious for burning out stator. My preventive maintenance is to make sure that the ground cable is always clean and a battery gauge to monitor the stator output. So far, the 2009 is still running good. This thread really interests me because I have a used 2014 with 19000 Km that i'm looking at.
