Here are more pictures I took yesterday ..



My friend on my bike..














Is the rear spring adjustable? I'll have to look at it later on today.

 

Another area that could be causing your heavy steering is how much air pressure you have in your front tire and if it's cupped. I had a 900RR and was very unsatisfied with the steering a couple days into riding it, I checked the air pressure and it had like 15 pounds of pressure. Putting it back to the 38 range improved it greatly. The front tire was cupped pretty bad though from the previous owner running the low pressure and when I put a new tire on I was completely amazed at the difference and loved my 900RR after that.

As far as the ride height goes the VFR conversion is pretty popular with the 900rr and I haven't heard any issues with it changing handling. The tail is pretty high but I think that may have to do with the GSXR tail being a lot slimmer and sleek on the bottom. Also they could have changed the rear subframe that had a steeper angle or cut more angle into it, but that subframe does look like the stock 900RR.

 

Yeah, I found out he had modified the subframe and it raised the rear up a couple inches. He said he liked it like that because he was 6' 3".

I'm bringing it to a guy who has worked on bikes his whole life and has owned quite a few 900RR's later on today and have him check it out.

 

Congradulation for your new bike, it's unique for the color and the new tail I just buy a CBR 900RR 1997 too two weeks ago, mine is black n chercoal Enjoy your new bike n ride safe!

One thing I did not see is a steering stabalizer..If you don't have one get one. The 900rr was my first sportbike ride ever(rode cruisers all my life).
After a 4 hr private class by my racing friend we took it to the track. This thing scared the livin' bejimminy outa me. 1yr later.. I am hooked..this bike is now 90% track ridden. It will give you all the thrills and excitement you could ever want. My race buddy told me after I wanted to go to a newer FI1000rr that untill you use every bit of power this has to offer..don't waste your money. $20 a day for "taste of racing" sat. and sundays once a month for a 20 minute thrill ride. At portland international raceway.

Well .. I have over 1,500 miles on the bike. I would have a lot more if I wasn't waiting to have some work done to it. No scary moments out of those first 1,500 miles and it feels just as easy to ride as my friends 600 did.

 

nice ride, i love vfr swaps...

 

thats nothing. i'm 5'6" and weigh 135lbs soaking wet.
