Hello Everyone, I just joined and I'm looking forward to joining in, learning and meeting some fellow CBR owners.
I own a 1993 CBR900rr with 42000 miles, I've had it since 1996. I'm currently redoing the carbs. I tried 110 racing fuel and ever since every time I start it I find a new leak. I don't know if it's related to the fuel or the age of the bike.
I'll post some pictures as soon as I have permission. I probably have to have a certain amount of posts.

Welcome to the forum Doug.
You've had that bike for a long time. As long as it runs good, why replace it, Right? That's a classic bike too. We have 2 of them up for "CBR of the month" this month. Get over to that thread check them out. Have a look through the 900rr section as well. There are quite a few of the old beasts floating around.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have or even go ahead and answer a few....

Thanks Guys,
Conrice,
Found the leaks, it seem that the carb bowl sealing orings are leaking. I'll get them on order but I'm thinking I'll go back to standard pump gas. I didn't have any problems until I went to the 110 VP racing fuel.
Scorpionvmu,
Yah, I've had 17 years with the same bike. I do sometimes wonder how a new bike would handle. Maybe one of these days I'll retire the 900 and go for something newer.
