Hi CBR Guys,

I just picked a 1991 CBR 600 in fair shape...
its almost complete but has a broken stator cover, missing the front calipers and rotors, missing a seat, rear tail light assembly, and needs to have the radiator hoses hooked up and probably more

The stator cover Im concerned about as the bottom of the case is chipped, I dont think oil runs in that area as the dipstick shows oil in the case, so question is can I just fix the outer cover and it could be ok?

 

Some residual oil drips into the casing.. atleast in my 94 f2... id go ahead and replace the cover and the stator while you have the cover off.. Theres a chance the stator is completely fine but.. **** why not lol

 

Looks like it needs some work bro, but oh well thats the whole point of getting a project right!? There's alot of useful info here for almost anything, and welcome to the forums!

I have a seat and tailight I need to get rid of in case you havent sourced one.

 

Thanks guys,
I am hopeing to fire it up soon but...

Battery has 12 plus volts but bike does nothing when the key is switched on, fuses look good, not seeing anything where the harness is cut or diconnected

Is there another main fuse or.fuse box somewhere that im missing?

 

There's a fuse box by the handle bars on the right side.. then there's the "main" fuse under the seat usually situated in front of the battery compartment box..

 

Ok cool im gonna check there, i have a freind bringing me a manual
If i can get it running then ill go forward with making it legal
Im excited as my older suzuki has been out with a ignition problem and the bike weighs a ton!
Been awhile since i owned a lighter bike..

 

is there a copy of a repair manual or factory reapiar manual on the forum?

 

Think I downloaded mine from here:

MC "Black Bears"

Might wanna give the file a quick scan if you want to print it out make sure you have a good laser printer, I did cause I wanted to take it to the garage, the complete printout is like an inch thick...

 

Usually when everything is dead, it will be the 30a fuse under the seat bro, goodluck.

 

Like a couple of the guys already said, it's probably your main fuse or relay.

If you look on the battery box, on the left side, you'll see where the relay sits, in front of the battery.
You'll see a connector with a red locking-tab cover, which plugs the positive cable into the relay unit - remove this, and you'll see the 30 amp fuse plugged in... if it's good, you might have a bad relay, or there may be a severed wire elsewhere in the harness, if it's bad, there might be a spare inserted in a little slot below the relay, with the top of the fuse facing the left side of the bike.

Good luck!
