I was thinking it would be cool to have a sticky with specs on the 900RR from year to year. Kind of like a reference point. Is this something that would be helpful for everyone?


We could make each reply a new year. Sort of like this......

OK. It didn't keep my formatting and looks like stir fried shyt, but you all get the idea....

 

Think it's a great idea. Can we also include tidbits that are frequently asked about each model or series. Like stock suspension settings, whll the fairings from this year fit on that year, etc...

I can crack open my manual later this evening and put the base info of my 919 (96-99??)

 

1996 brought the first major changes to the CBR900RR. In order to achieve a more optimized balance of rigidity, Honda significantly altered the 1996 CBR's chassis and suspension. The frame and swingarm were fabricated from larger, thinner-walled extrusions for reduced torsional rigidity. The fork and shock internals were re-designed, and the swingarm pivot raised by 5 mm (0.20 in). Revised ergonomics brought the bars 10 mm (0.39 in) higher and swept back five degrees more than earlier models, along with a slimmer gas tank. Engine updates included a bump in displacement to 918 cc (56.0 cu in) via a 1 mm (0.039 in) bore increase, slightly higher compression, a curved radiator, larger muffler, extra clutch plates, smaller alternator, and the addition of a throttle position sensor. With the revised motorcycle came a revised name of CBR918RR. The 1996 model carried over to 1997 unchanged except for the updates to color/graphics offerings.

I just wanna know if the pinholes in my fairings really improve the handling like Honda claims.

 

from what i have read is that they are supposed to reduce wind resistance. making less friction between the bike and the air hitting. it . i guess it would help you carve through better. just a general thing that i read.

 

Thanks for the info!

Either way, I think they look killer.

 

u r welcome
