Welcome to the CBR Forum Jots.

I think for $400 you can't go wrong. Post some pictures of your ride when you can.

Cheers, SB

Not bad for $400.
the cam bolts backed out and dropped the cam gear. it should be running again in the next week.

Welcome to the forum jonny.

Nice bike you got. I wouldn't mind having a 900rr, but I would need to find a deal like you got.

As far as the carb cleaning goes, get them clean. If you have any specific questions, put up a thread in the 900rr section. You will get more feedback there. You may even find everything you want to know with a little searching. Carbs have been covered a few times over the years...

Cool. Thanks.
The bike ran pretty good till the cam gear dropped. I was trying to pin point the noise so i could fix it, but then it dropped and bound up. Luckily it didn't cause any real damage to the pistons or valves. Only gonna cost around $100 to fix.
