Default First CBR - 18 from MA, USA

Just dropping in to introduce myself.

My names Mike, I'm 18 from MA, and I just bought an absolutely beautiful 1993 CBR900RR with 16,000 miles for $1800. This bike is mint. All chromed out, HIDs, full two brothers chrome exhaust, second look seat, blue/white/red original paint scheme, dark blue LED under-glow, and much more. Very nice bike! Runs great.

BUT.. I just figured out it has an intermittent-spark problem. I'm not sure what it is but I'mm gonna post about it and see what that brings! I hope to learn a-lot from this forum!

Mike

Welcome to the forum! Glad to see that you found the bike you like, just be careful it has a lot of power and those old bike can put a spanking on quick fast and in a hurry Have you taken the MSF course yet? I would highly recommend it, among many safety reasons it gives you a discount on insurance and some purchases at certain clothing stores. Do you have any photos, we like photos ... well at least I do.

Thank you! And yes, I love the thing. And I do have one good picture of it, how do I upload it? And is it possible to from a phone? And I haven't and can't take my MSF until February '14..but I've been racing motor cross since I was about 10, and for road bikes I've been riding an 07 HD dyna low rider for the past summer!

Welcome to CBRF... Nice bike, the 900... Sounds like you bought someone's parking lot pimp... I would like to see some pics if you get a chance... Hope you can sort out the spark problem...
