Hi to Everyone

recentley brought a 1995 CBR600 of a friend after he had laid it up for a couple of years. it had been dropped so he stopped using it. he asures me that it was running perfect before he put it in his garage, So....

I'm not a trianed mechanic but I try.......

basically,

I changed to old fuel to new,
I sprayed carb cleaner down the carbs,
I fitted a new Battery,
I changed the oil addind a new filter.

and it runs!!! with lots of power and quick throttle response.

BUT... the top end is noisy, after reading up about other peoples
problems i have brought and I'm just going to fit a new Cam Chain Tensioner along with new Spark plugs. I will update you on this.

also... It wont or dont like starting when warm???

any Idea's would be appreciated Thanks

 

UPDATE....

Just changed the Plugs and Cam chain tensioner and its great.

Starts first time and runs smooth hot or cold,

I have also managed to book it in tomorrow for a MOT.

I will update you with the results.

thanks

 

Welcome! I did the same thing recently but I am still collecting parts for her for now. Post some pics and be safe out there!!

 

Thanks, I only brought this bike on the cheap to get to work and back,

I will post pics but at the moment im not sure how??

 

UPDATE.....

My CBR was sat up for 5 years (according to the tax disc) after it had been dropped, I changed the battery, fuel, plugs, oil filter, oil and cam chain tensioner and its passed the MOT, with an advisory on the rear tyre.

 

Great news!




But.....

 

Double check the regulator/rectifier, just to be sure.
A quick search will give you all of the details.
Honda has enough 'history' with them, it's a good idea to check.

Sounds like you're doing fine for a 'shade-tree' wrencher.
Ride safe, Ern

 

 

 

THIS IS IT!!!!

I finally managed to post a pic cheers haha
