CBR400RR NC29

Early NC23 on left with NC29 head NC36 engine right. Intro This blog entry is to list and share what will fit the CBR400RR-L NC29. I have mostly collated it for cross compatibility of NC23 parts as such I will also have a list on parts that do not fit from this machine. I will also list items such as fuel pumps that will fit from other models but clearly aim not going to tell you that an AUDI A4 door does or does not fit, because that would be silly. It doesn't by the way, you can have that one. I will update this periodically as I find things that do or do not fit and update the version number as I go. All of the latest updates will be in red. Engine Stuff: Engine code: NC23E102xxx CBR400RR NC23 1988 Too far forward & low Different upper mount The engine is not a straight bolt in. The spacing is substantially different at the rear with the rear barrel mount missing. The case rear upper mount is too high and aft so it fowls the water tank before far

You have an itch, you scratch it, you make it worse, you scratch again anyway. This CBR has an itch and I went and scratched it again. The main itch being a cooling system that was a touch excitable, not letting the bike reach temperature. The blame for that lay mostly with the thermostat presumably which is located, inconveniently, in that nice space behind the barrels and under the carbs, airbox and fuel tank. Such joy. Begin the fun! Off with the tank which was not rubber mounted and had the wrong bolts. Good start. The tank drains into a neat little cup thing so there is only one hose to disconnect that being the fuel feed to the fuel pump. Hang on this thing has a fuel pump? I have never heard that thing run up best order another one. That aside, literally, I had the airbox to crack into. Which, a few screws later proved to contain no furry animals and a grubby K&N air filter. About time I found something good and lucky I have the proper cleaner and oil. Next off
