The Honda CBR900RR Fireblade sportbike repair manual by Clymer covers:

• Honda CBR900RR, 1993-1999
• Honda Fireblade, 1993-1999

At the time of its introduction, the Honda Fireblade was revolutionary. Never before had a displacement sports motorcycle combined power with such a lightweight profile. The in-line four, 16-valve, liquid-cooled engine in the Honda CBR900RR Fireblade was lithe without sacrificing muscle. Although minimalist in its overall approach, the bike was comfortable and accommodating even despite its lack of luxurious bells and whistles. This 524-page Clymer manual packed with helpful illustrations to aid in DIY maintenance and repair covers everything from the CBR900RR tachometer cable, the liquid cooling system and front and rear suspension to the engine, clutch, transmission and troubleshooting tips.

Book Excerpt: 1993-1999 Honda CBR900RR Fireblade Repair Manual LIQUID COOLING SYSTEM

HOSES AND HOSE CLAMPS Hoses deteriorate with age and should be replaced periodically or if they are cracked or leaking. The spray of hot coolant from a cracked hose can injure the rider and passenger. Loss of coolant can also cause the engine to overheat and cause damage. Whenever any component of the cooling system is removed, inspect the hoses and determine if replacement is necessary. INSPECTION

1. With the engine cool, check the cooling hoses for brittleness or hardness. A hose in this condition will usually have cracks and must be replaced.
2. With the engine hot, examine the hoses for swelling along the entire hose length. Eventually a hose will rupture at this point.
3. Check the area around each hose clamp. Rust around the clamps indicates possible hose leakage from a damaged or over tightened clamp.

REAR SUSPENSION

COMPRESSION DAMPING ADJUSTMENT Compression damping affects the rate of speed that the shock compresses when the rear wheel hits a bump. This adjustment will not affect the action of the shock absorber on rebound. The compression damping adjuster is mounted on the shock reservoir (A, Figure 5). Turn the compression damping adjuster with a screwdriver. CAUTION: Do not turn the compression damping adjuster past the point where it stops at its full clockwise or counterclockwise positions. Doing so will damage the adjuster screw and require replacement of the shock absorber.
