Part 2 • 1980 Honda CB900 Custo... I take the CB900 Custom on the road!
Part 3 • Honda CB900 Custom - ... Installation of EBC brake rotors on the CB900 Custom
Check out all the classic motorcycle videos on my channel: Jon's Motorcycle Rescue and Review
This bike is a recent rescue. This bike was purchased from the second owner and has 6k original miles. It only ran on choke when I bought it, the rotors were warped, the brake lines were shot, and once cleaned, the carburetors needed some fine-tuning to eliminate a lean surge from the stock jetting. The time spent on the carburetor tuning and installing new EBC brake rotors and pads with Spiegler brake lines really paid off! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Very nice! 👍🏻
Thanks!
Very nice...! I just picked up the exact same model and color. Any tips with regards to the carb tuning?
My CB had the stock jetting but ran lean and stumbled at 30-45 mph. I used two small shims under the needles. I also turned my air/fuel screws out 3 turns. It runs great now with no hesitation. Depending on where you live and the bike setup (intake, exhaust, current jetting) you may need a different tune.

@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Shims really? Your needle jets are adjustable> You Tube supports everyone
@@johnhenry8424 Maybe your CB900C has aftermarket adjustable needles. Mine didn't. 🙂
Hi John recently I bay a 1983 cb1000 custom i will like to put original pipes we you please tell me where can i get it. I from Lebanon PA also i will like to now where are you located my name is Edgardo thanks
Hi Edgardo, the original exhaust is more and more difficult to find. You can look on ebay or at swap meets. Maybe try some CB900C/CB1000C forums or Facebook groups as well. There is a guy in Leesport PA who may have the exhaust. His name is Gene 610-468-2922
Thanks i going to call him now
@@edgardonieves4741 You're welcome.
Hey brother, I recently bought a 1980 Honda cb 900 custom from a friend of mine, my question is if it's liquid radiator coolant, and where I put it, and how do I do a tuneup? I'm from PA myself, so can you help out a new owner of an old classic?
Hi Charles, the good news is that there's no coolant. The radiator is an oil cooler. If your oil level is correct then you're good to go. If the bike runs well already, I would change out all the fluids (brakes, rear, transfer case), change the engine and filter, put in a new air filter and spark plugs. This is a basic tune up.
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 thanks brother, it's much appriciated.
@@charleshorsh1024 You're welcome.
Is it for sale? Very nice.
Hi Wiley, I don't currently have it listed but everything is for sale if the price is right.
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Thank you Jon, so what is the right price?
@Wiley T Great question! I would probably let it go for $8000. There are decent CB900 Customs out there for less but you will need to look pretty hard to find one in this condition with this mileage (and I doubt any will run/drive/stop as well as this one).
why no sound???
Part 2 is the ride video. I also have a CB900C sound compilation in the CB900C playlist.
Tail lite setup is dog ugly
Ah, beauty, or in this case ugly, is in the eye of the beholder!
