The motor has a rattle when first cranked...after
I've got a 1995 cbr600 and it had the samr problem- it's a well known fault with hondas- it's probably the cam chain tensioner. It works off oil pressure so sounds like a tin full of marbles until the bike warms up. The best solution, if you can't live with the noise is a manual cam chain tensioner. APE make them and it stopped the noise on my bike as soon as it was fitted. I'm not sure if you can get one for your bike but a little googleing should tell you.
Hard to Start Bike
Hello.
Sparkplugs. That will fix it.
You can choose between 3 types the normal the cold and the hot (performance) sparkplugs. The normal for medium temperatures is the best, the cold is suited for bellow 5º C temps. And the hot is for hot weather and performance usage.
Hope that helps.
Start and stop
Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Offhand that would be a normal reaction from the bike. When the battery is removed with the engine running, the voltage from the regulator will shoot up, the ignition system is designed to clamp down if the supply voltage is above its threshold. Additionally, the shutting down is to your advantage, since the voltage will go up, most of the bulbs, electricals and on-board electronics would burn out if subjected to prolong over voltage supply.
Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.
What oil do i put
To change your oil you will need 4 quarts of oil, a
filter, and a new aluminum drain plug washer. You can reuse the old drain plug washer
if it has not been squished out of shape. Your
motorcycle comes from Honda usually with 10w-40 mineral base
motorcycle
oil. You can use
any oil that is JASO MA certified motorcycle oil. 10w-40 for cold
climate. 20w-50 for warm climate/touring. Car oils use different
additives and may cause scoring in certain types of cam bearings. Do not
use any oil that says " Energy Conserving " on the label .
It will shorten the life of your wet clutch and transmission gears. If
you choose Synthetic oils, they will help your bike run cooler and shift
easier. Pour in three quarts of oil and add enough from the fourth quart
to reach the high mark on the dip stick or inspection window. Make sure
the motorcycle is upright or on the center stand when checking the
level . You will probably need
3.1 to 3.4 quarts to hit the high mark. Run the motor for a minute or
two to fill the oil filter compartment with oil. Now recheck the oil
level and top up as needed. If you want to try an inexpensive full
synthetic oil that is JASO MA rated 15w-40 Shell Rotella T Synthetic
fits the bill at about $22 per gallon.
Cam chain rattle when engine is idling
This bike is well known for cam chain rattle, but it has an automatic tensioner so there are no adjustments. If the bike runs well just ride it. I have a friend that had his cam chain, tensioner and guides, and in less than a couple years it was making the same sounds. If the bike run rough then it is a possibility the chain has stretched and unless you are confident with timing issues take it to a pro.
Cbr 1000f fuel filter location
The fuel filter is located on the petcock valve that sticks up into the tank. Make sure it is well sealed after repair.
1987 cbr1000f overheating
Start with the simple things first. The thermostat is in the thermostat case under the right handlebar, check that the fan works (hot jump it), and check the thermal switch, which is on the left front of the radiator.
