imprez55 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 boo for having the gf's bday dinner wednesday since I'm thinking tomorrow is the day to finally get the CBR on the street!I wanna see that! Did you ever look into the steering problem or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I wanna see that! Did you ever look into the steering problem or anything?yup...reset the steering damper, aired up the tires properly and moved the wiring harness that the fork rubbed which inhibited full movement of steering to the right. Still need to figure out a better fix for that as the wiring harness is back in the way. But seems like the majority of the problem went away from what I can tell. Will have to see when I hit the streets. Thought I actually had a buyer or 2 lined up for it but both went MIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try zip tying the harness the the stay maybe? Its possible he routed it wrong while doing the plastics swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 its definitely routed wrong, part of the problem was that it WAS zip tied to the stay. I just gotta play with it and figure it out whenever I decide ot actually put the new FE on as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
