20 Most Recent 1999 Honda CBR 900 RR Fireblade - Page 2 Questions & Answers

It's hard to get specs in mls or cc these days so I'll let you in on a BIG secret(don't tell everyone,hush hush,& we stay wiser than others,promse not to tell, cross your heart).

Ok here we go- NO this ISN'T a joke so listen carefully.

Set the oil levels in the front forks

with the cartridges blead(simply draw up & down on the damper rod & you can feel the air bleeding out),

& before you re-fit the springs,

With the forks fully compressed
,
The fork oil level should be 100-110mm from the top.
This applies to basically all forks(except-a few like MX showa on certain RMs' & the new kawasaki 250 MXer.)
Hope this helps
Regards Andrew

Try using a little bit of blue lock tight on your adjusting screws and maybe that will help solve your problem.

If you have never taken your bike front-end off for any type of maintenance, you better get a friend who can show you step by step process, as it requires mtre just taking the fork off the bike once you get into the for to replace the seals and putting the fork oil into it.

make sure power is getting to the coil for those two,if power makes it to there but not output,trade coil from other side see if problem changes sides.if so coil is bad .

Check your regulator/rectifier for weak diode

Check all gas lines ,you must have a small leak somewhere on the fuel system .

You could try Ebay .

Bottom each bolt out first in a criss cross pattern. then give a nice snugness till the bolt stops. Just tighten, dont kill it. Chaz moto DC

Sounds like you have a float stuck in one of the carbs. That is if it not a fuel injected model.

Either it is the wrong spark plug or you have stripped threads.

If the treads are stripped, you can buy a kit to fix it or re-tap the hole. Worst case scenario, you need a new head.

Yes, the threads did get damaged when the plug popped out. Most likely, the plug was not in properly or tightened so that there were several threads in play. Take your plug to any autoparts store and either borrow or buy a tap of the proper thread size to recut the threads in the cylinder. this is a bit tricky because it has to be straight, so if you are not comfortable doing this yourself have a bike shop do it. Good luck. Joe

try bleeding the front brake pull brake lever 3 times hold lever loosen bleeder screw on caliper retighten bleeder screw this takes 2 people just make sure you dont release brake lever while bleeder is open you wanna repeat this acouple of times untill nothing but fluid comes out bleeder also keep an eye on fluid level in master cylinder you will want to make sure to refill it with proper brake fluid

it is normal for them to use oil honda say half a liter to a 1000 miles if driven hard.if its done a lot of miles you may have worn piston rings or leaking vavle seals do a compression test

check fuel filter first and then fuel pump.

electrically or does it sputter? if it sputters it sound like a fuel pump problem or fuel filter is clogged. if its electrical.... its probably your spark unit or pulse generators. check for loose connections.

it will take about 3 qourts

Could be the coil pack probably a weak stator,. Try a pickup coil for the stator if you can get your hands on it way cheaper then replacing whole unit. Good luck.

Seaform will fix this trust me...go to autozone oickup a can put in 1/3 of can into approx two gallons off gas and ride at least fifteen miles hard and it will run alittle rough at first but it should kick in while you ride.

The specs say 3.1 liters, which converts into about 3.4 quarts... somewhere in that general range, though I tend to put in a little more since I live in Taxes, and it's so hot down here.

Your bike stalled because of the fuel pump just stop pumping fuel . now check the fuel pump and the idle screw and the bleeder screws for dirt's . The dirt's that can be found on the fuel pump or the one we call carburator assembly.The battery has no problem even the ignition. Don't forget to check the fuel lines . If worn out or destroyed fuel lines replace.
