Carb Replacement
Hi guys,
Just purchased a 1999 Honda CBR1000f. The carb assembly was off the bike and I am trying to put it together. I know from reading on here that they can be a pig to get back on. The rubbers connected to the engine are pretty hard (don't know if that normal) but at £43 each i don't really want to get new ones. Also 2 vent pipes at the top of the carbs don't know the proper route for them. I would love to post a picture to explain but cant seem to. Dont know if thats because I am newbie
Thanks

As far as getting the carburetors back on the bike try getting them attached to the airbox side first and tighten the clamps, then mount onto the engine side. Push onto the airbox towards the engine to get the carbs seated. This probably isn't the proper way to do it but the only way I have been able to. Download the service manual here https://cbrforum.com/forum/workshop-...f-format-4952/ open up the PDF to page 37 maybe that will help you with the routing of the vents.

Once you've done it a few times, you'll have 'em on and off in double quick time

Hawks on the money as usual - and me too I never attach the airbox - it's always
last with me- a handy lube for this job is "hand sanitizer" gel lightly coated inside the
boots - makes them slicker than hell .... also get the right most carb lined up first
them wiggle them up / down and push them in, in a right to left manner - they'll
go in push hard
my 2 cents - I'm always chasing the Hawk - man

Thanks for all the advice guys. Made this newbie most welcome.
I eventually went for the wife's hairdryer and plenty lube. Right hand carb in first as suggested then wiggled the rest in.
I am also a bit further forward with my 2 vent pipes from the top of the carbs. As they are on pivots they were turned up and came out over the top of the airbox. Looking at the service manual they head down the way (under the carbs). After that, the 'natural' route is round the SIDE of the airbox and then into a channel in front of the battery box? Is that set-up familiar to anyone?
