1996 Honda CBR 900 RR Fireblade - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

check nutal switch

Check the ground for regulator or another ground that is common with lights and fuel pump if is there any.

Hi D"Jesus: Could be one of three things that I can think of: 1) The battery is at the end of its life. It can't hold a charge any more. Solution is to replace battery. 2) The electical system is not charging. You can check this with a voltmeter. With the engine off you will get maybe 12.2 volts. With the engine running it should increase by 1 to 2 volts. 3) The bike is not getting used much and something is draining the electrical system. Not too probable, but maybe you've wired in a stereo and left it playing? Kidding. But an example of a drain on the battery. Personally, I'd be betting on the dead battery. Hope this helps.

Check that the terminals on the battery are tight. Look for corrosion on the 4 wire plug on the starter solenoid. unplug from solenoid to check and clean as required.

Maybe your valves are stuck or need to check your chain bro take head off and check valves and valve guides make sure your intake cam says in. And your. Exaust. Cam says. Ex. Don't. Swap them or you can have that problem. This is jimmie in tijuana beach Mexico. Peace.

Replace the cable, the gear is slowly being stripped away.

Did you have lights, horn, etc? If not measure the battery voltage. It should have no less than 12.8 V. The bike was unused a long period of time or the malfunction occured suddenly?

By following the instructions in the workshop manual.

check your wires and coil packs

wow thats not a good thing since it and the cams are spring loaded, you will need to take the rocker cover off and check the cams one or both will need to be backed off to provide slack to install the tensioner again sorry! You will need to get a manual!!! Look under cam timing

Download the service manual from herehttp://pdftown.com/u/cbr900rr/Go to the PDF's 128 page and check your fuel tank valve's diaphragm and the fuel supply as it is described in the service manual.

check relay and rectifier

normally temp is around 200 mark the fans should kick on around 220

check ur fuses, and all ur electrical cables going to the rear lights. their might be a missconnection somewhere...

is it a true fireblade?? anyways. how long has it been sitting?? sounds like the carbs need cleaned

The 1996 fireblade holds 3.6 litres of 10 w40 sf grade engine oil. With the engine warm, Place machine on a suitible stand, remove filler cap, place a container under engine to catch oil, undo sump oil plug with a 17 mm spanner in an anticlockwise direction, be carefull not to alow hot oil onto your skin as it will burn, while this is draining into a container, undo and remove oil filter, with suitable tools, when replacing follow instructions on filter packet, top up engine oil until it meets the required level,start engine for a couple of mins, allow oil to settle before rechecking and if ness top up to the correct level

Use only a JASO MA certified motorcycle oil. Automotive oil uses different additives and will shorten the life of your wet clutch and transmission gears. Shell Rotella T Synthetic (15w-40 about $22) and Shell Rotella standard oil ($12 a gallon) for diesel engines , both are JASO MA rated for motorcycles.10w-40 oil is good for cold climate. 20w-50 for hot climate/touring. Synthetic oil will make your cycle run cooler and shift easier. For the engine you will need four quarts of oil, a spin on filter, a filter wrench, and a drain plug washer. Place a pan under the engine, take out the drain plug under the motor, and hold the motorcycle upright to get as much oil out as you can. Unscrew the oil filter with the wrench, wet the rubber o-ring of the new filter with oil, and screw it on following the directions on the filter. Replace the drain plug with a new washer and tighten it but be careful not to over tighten it. It only has to seal in the oil , it doesn't have to hold the head on! Pour in three quarts and check the oil level by placing your motorcycle on the center stand or holding upright and looking at the dip stick. Run the motor and top up as needed. You will probably need about 3.5 quarts.
If changing the oil filter you will have to run the motor to get an accurate oil level reading.

A Honda I recently had dealing with did not have a fuse box, it just had a few inline fuses, but if there is a fuse box, under the sadle would be a logical place to put it.

hi the reason for this is because your motorcycle is fited with a safety switch on the side stand and clutch lever, which stops you starting your machine whilst it in gear to avoid accidents. i would first check that your motorcycle is infact in neutrol and not in between a gear higher up in the gearbox, have you fitted the gear lever in reverse order this would mean whilst you think you are changing up the box you are actualy changing down, if this is not the case you will have to locate the neutrol light switch this will be located on the rear topside of the engine, or the lefthand side of the engine under the front sprocket cover, it will have a single wire going to it. once located remove the wire and earth it to the engine or frame if the light then comes on this will rule out a break in the wire, and the switch itself is at fault as it works on a live earth principle the live goes to the bulb and the switch earths it out to bring on the light quite simple realy

Have you check all wiring to your turning signals and tail& headlight as it seems to me it has a cross-over when you are turning right and powered by the tail & headlight power when turing left/
Good enough?
