1999 Honda CBR 1000 F - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Fork oil capacity
Front Fork Oil cc (right leg) : 485
Front Fork Oil cc (left leg) : 495
Clutch/gearbox
If the gearbox oil is extremely dirty and gritty this problem can occur. Usually the clutch doesn't want to disengage and the clutch handle is stiff to operate. An oil / filter change followed up 100 miles later with another oil change cleans the dirt and grit from the gearbox. Since you didn't mention a hard clutch handle or that the clutch doesn't want to engage / disengage, I doubt if dirty oil is the problem.
This sounds like bent shift forks. What bothers me is that all gears have the problem. Any chance the teenage delinquent down the block had 5 minutes alone with the bike? Normally, only 1st and 2nd have the problem. They share a common fork. This is major surgery for the bike. Try the double oil change anyway. It is low cost and can't hurt anything.
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.
I can not seem to
The alternator (stator) should pull right off unless the key is still in the shaft. Push the stator back on and feel for a raised portion on the shaft. If you need to you can rotate the shaft by hand to visually inspect.
