20 Most Recent 1989 Honda CBR 600 F Hurricane Questions & Answers

possible problems stators bad, bad connection at battery, voltage regulator. check fuses first if you have multi meeter available check output at pos battery terminal. check all connections battery to bike ground.

You will need at least 4 quarts of oil , a spin on filter, and a filter wrench. Most Honda's of your vintage use 3.4 quarts so fill carefully and do not over fill the motor. Check the level with the motorcycle standing up straight. Be sure to use only oil that has the JASO MA certification on the label. Do not use any oil that says Energy Conserving on the label it will shorten the life of the wet clutch and transmission gears. Use 10w-40 in colder climates and 20w-50 in summer or warmer climates. Synthetic oils will help your cycle run cooler and shift easier.

Check for a blown fuse, defective relay, or faulty wiring.

The carbs are plugged and need to be completely disassembled and cleaned out along with the tank and petcock. If the tank has any rust it remove the tank and put a tank liner kit in it. Most cycle shops and online stores will/may have the liner kit. The carbs will easily plug up with the new formulated gas even sometimes in less than a years time. If you are not familiar with the cleaning process, it is best to take it to a dealer ship or mechanic. Some carbs have jets inside that will have orifice as small as .010 inch. Most home mechanics or "do it your selfers" will not have tool that can clean those size jets.

I suggest buying a sealed battery and a trickle charger.

hello my feind maybe the choke can stay on if the carbretter has slight dirt ingress . the thing i would do is take the carb off and clean every part inside (e.g. jets, floats ECT) also check air to fuel screw if aplicablelet me know how u got on.

you may crank the spring but this will give you springer feeling if you do not try to reduced rebound.....there is no big solution to get sport bike run nice with passenger....but it make people on the back have smile on theyre face if your'e girl friend as a nice *** (compare to a harley view,,,lol!!!!

turn the air screw and idle screw fully in then turn them 2 turns out this will set them for factory default then you can play with them when the bike is running

hope this helps

Hi,,if your coils have power going in but not out to the plugs,then your coils are fried.

Remove one plug cap and put the lead on the head and crank it over,,if no spark then you need new coils.

Standard settings are...Rear Preload: Position 3
Rear Compression: 1 turn out from maximum (punch aligned)
Rear Rebound: 1 turn out from maximum (punch aligned)
This is for the 97 & 98 year models.

Look at the sidewall of both tires. There will be a 'MAX PSI' embossed on the tire. It will probably say Max 45 PSI. At 45psi the bike will ride like a rock. At 15psi it will ride really squirrely. Find a psi at which you feel the bike handles well and rides well. One rider may weigh 125 pounds and the next rider may weigh 300 pounds. The best psi for each rider will be different due to weight. Chances are that 30 to 35 psi will do the trick.

Hi

check the electric power

Hi
All carbs have to be synched together using vacuum gauges or manometer tubes
Often 1 carb is the control carb which cannot be adjusted, so adjust the others to the same as the control
But the early CBR600s has 4 carb sync take-offs 1 in each inlet tract, I know as I owned 1
