An honest mechanic. Problems occur and are not edited out, really good to see and then come the ideas and solutions. Great video as always, thanks for posting.
Your channel deserves more views Steve. Love the videos. Also quite humbling how you encounter problems along the way and don’t hide them. God bless mate.
Nice work. I had same model, CBR900RR-S in red purple/black. Great bike but I don't miss the journey to the heart of the spark plugs! Seat, tank, airbox, coils and that plastic tray thing all out before you get to use plug spanner :( I think these years 94 and 95 were peak 'Blade.
👍My first brand new bike in 1997!...an RRV in yellow/purple....treated meself after a tour in the gulf...paid 7k new, was a parallel import which was a thing for a few years back then 😊
Was it from DK? Back when DK and parallel imports made Honda have fairer pricing for us. Now we are back to being over charged. Why doesn't globalisation give the customer a better price, maybe we could have politicians that make this happen.
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now No I bought from a small independent dealer in Nairn, north east scotland where I was living at the time..not sure where he got it from though.
Ive got a 1999 blade and love watching anyone working on them. Also have a 42 year old Harley Iron head sportster and the clutch removal on that is a bit more hard core 🤣🤣 great post 👍
The camera was too far away,the spark plugs gap was not checked/adjusted,bolts not torqued to specs and the clutch plates SHOULD be soaked in oil over night.Everything else was nice.Subscribed 👍
Enjoy your content... having changed way too many Ducati DRY/slipper clutches .. which are just too easy . I became an owner of a '05 Daytona 955i .. which I just love.. but tearing down Triumph WET clutch is a PITA and costs about $28 bucks in gaskets LOL takes a good half hour. The Ducati could be stripped to inner cases in 5 minutes . The Daytona wet clutch is near identical to the CBR 900 arrangement .. Wondering, could the pressure plate spring issue be an issue due to the NEW clutch pack height is not within spec... ? As per my factory and Haynes Triumph service manual, when installing a NEW clutch pack, you might have to play a bit w/ plate thicknesses in order to attain proper clutch pack height. Wondering if the pack was too tall, the springs couldn't grab and release properly. If the stock clutch spring are with spec, which is easy to determine, you can re-use them, same w/ the existing clutch pack height .. even individual friction plates. If the friction pads have meat, fall within spec, might help attain perfect clutch pack height vs an entirely NEW friction plate kit. I always had a few diff metal plates thicknesses available for my Ducati clutches, picked up a few for the Daytona .. GREAT INFO on the judder/wave spring... make sure the it sits dished side out like a cereal bowl. The base of the bowl sitting against the clutch basket .. the dished part, where you pour your cereal facing out. Vernier calipers and a Haynes service manual wins the day...

Nice work Steve.
EBC say their springs have 15% more tension, in practice it feels more like 50% 😂

Mint video pal shame other people know more than you lol.iv started watching daily and they are all really good faultless pal⭐️👍👊
Brilliant channel! Pleasure watching you work
good job ,but steve so often forgotten the little filter at the back of the airbox.
nice work as usual.
Should all the bolts not be torqued up to a certain level?
yes
Hey mate I had a question about the year model 600 that suits this model best
The camera was too far away,the spark plugs gap was not checked/adjusted,bolts not torqued to specs and the clutch plates SHOULD be soaked in oil over night.Everything else was nice.Subscribed 👍
Iridium and platinum plugs come pre-gapped with a warning not to try and adjust - you just break the electrode if you try.
I use a magnetic pick up tool to get the plates and steels out, way easier than a pick and wrecking fingernails.
Its called lazy
