Just bought a 1989 honda cbr 400rr (whatever that is) for 200 quid off a work mate. Doesnt seem to be in too bad nick for its age bar the front right handside fairing being fibreglassed. It has no tax or test and will deffinately need the fork seals doing before it goes for mot. Its done 19615kms so the clocks say, i have mots from about 1998 to confirm this.
Anyone got any tips for doing the fork seals??
Heres a few pics, bit crap as they were taken on my phone and in my shed.

Thats what i thought, been sat for over a year in a garage in london so its going to need some tlc to get it running reasonable.
The fork oil needs changing badly also, if its got any left in them. Think i might get the fairing fixed and sprayed and use it for a bit then sell it.
Its sure going to feel different riding this than my other bike. ____________________ Cbr1100xx blackbird gone, mk4 golf gt tdi chav now

Wow, you got a superb deal there. £200 for a NC23, minter.

Well the fork seals/bushes arrived today so this evening after i got in from work i decided to take the forks off so i could do the seals at work where i can get rid of the old oil. Only took about 20 mins to get the forks off even working in a stupidly small shed.
Got the front indicators working after lots of wd40 and cleaning of the bulb holder contacts.
All thats left after the seals is to clean the chain and road test then its off for mot and if it passes it'll be taxed asap.
This is as it sits right now, precariously perched in my shed right next to my proper daily bike. Hope it dont fall over.

Nice bike! May want to consider giving the carbs a good old clean if it's been sat for a while. May solve your misfiring problem too. ____________________ My Flickr |

Well the forks are now fitted and ive managed to fix the electrical short i was having now and again from the main beam switch. Turned out the right hand side fairing panel was pinching the loom exposing a few wires which was causing the problem.
Had a check of the brakes and all seems good, took it down my drive and it stops and changes gear well. Im surprised to find that it idles smooth, i'll see today if it has any flat spots as its being insured and taken for mot at 3pm today. Fingers crossed it will pass ____________________ Cbr1100xx blackbird gone, mk4 golf gt tdi chav now
