Restoring a Honda CBR 954RR Fireblade 2002 CBR954RR | The Best Honda Fireblade

This 2002 Honda CBR 954RR Fireblade was sitting for 10 years in a garage. Can we restore it to the amazing bike this once was? And once restored can we take it to the next level to compete with a modern CBR.
Personally, I love the look and design of these older bikes.
Let me know your thoughts?
As always, thanks for watching!!

I am original owner of a 2002 CBR954RR....got 45k miles on it and still love every second i'm on it. One of the BEST bikes ever made IMO.

Start up where?

[@rakayne]

I have the same bike as well. Mine was a rebuild, and I love it.

Amazing job 😮❤

decent video and passion to legendary model! Have one of those as well, but one issue is driving me mad -> jerky on revs up to 3000. Changed spark plugs + ignition coils, cleaned tank, filters but still same... nobody knows what`s the problem, pity :/

[@kuzmaniac]

I hate those kind of issues. If it is up to 3000 then it smooths out need to check the air-to-fuel ratio, there is a sensor that determines that. Computer may just be getting faulty reading.

@@kuzmaniac yes above 3000 smooth as childs skin and pulls like a train :) will have to find where that sensor is located... Thank You for the advice !

I think it's time to fix the valve clearence and maybe replace the timing chain and tensioner. I have the exact same problem, planning to do mine in the coming winter. I replaced my fuel pressure regulator that didn't fixed. But that was not a bad investment, because they go bad a lot when it get older. Because it contains rubber. Did a lot of research, it has the be the valve timing. I never checked it. I now have 40.000 km on it. So it's time to do that job.

[@justastulpe3265]

@@livy4life i suspect either bad fuel injectors or spark plugs - thought replaced with brand new but not originals. One more time tried to clean injectors and replaced spark plug on cylinder 4 (this one was a bit cooler then others). That improved small bit, now jerky up to around 2000. So i think problem defo not the valves, mine is only 24k km on the clock. P.S in the past changed pressure regulator also but no difference... it`s absolute amazing that tons of people have this issue (Honda 929, 954 + some cbr 600) and nobody ever managed to solve this problem...

​@@justastulpe3265 I still have to replace my iridium spark plugs aswell, but they were changed at 24000 km so now they are 15.000km in the bike. But everywhere I red, a sparkplug change for this particular issue it never solved the problem.
First interval check for the valves is at 24.000 according to honda. Maybe there is a reason they picked that number... The one time I brought the bike to the dealer they were too lazy to do it. They never saw me again after that one. yeah it is strange nobody seems to solve it. I wanna buy a compression kit aswell. to see if there are any leaks in one of the cylinders. If not i can use it on my car aswell. No money wasted on that one. I have bookmarked this video. If im done with the timing chain and valve clearance, i will let you know if it did any good..

[@nikosmai]

if you want you can tell us what kind of restore you did, what did you replace, also would be great to see this beast run!

[@kuzmaniac]

Hi, working on the run/ride video. I wanted to include that in the video but CA DMV took a month to send the tags/reg.

[@nikosmai]

@@kuzmaniac i mean on the future ;) i ll wait for it.

[@Zebness990]

Seems like he just replaced the fuel pump along with the housing it's lodged in and applied a piece of film to protect the already nicely sprayed, compounded and polished paint and visibly perfectly applied and corrected clear coat or two of lacquer.

[@canadianjester6118]

Nice job. I have the same bike!

[@kuzmaniac]

Thanks!
Are you using the stock exhaust? I would like to get rid of that huge muffler but not sure with what?

[@canadianjester6118]

@@kuzmaniac It has a Hindle slip on, it has a rattle so I'm looking for something as well. Not having much luck because of the age of the bike though...

[@kuzmaniac]

@@canadianjester6118 Ditto on not having luck finding anything, I will pass on info if I find something.

[@LSX_Tony]

I got my full exhaust off a crashed bike then replaced the damaged can, headers and mid pipe were still perfect. Ceramic coated and the exhaust is badass

[@canadianjester6118]

@@kuzmaniac There's a pipe out of Poland called Dominator, just not sure on quality.
