Hello there,
I've been riding since I was 10 (I'm 47) and have had a wide variety of bikes, several Hondas, lots of Yamahas, even a non-running Harley.
I lost 7 bikes in a shed fire, and to help fill the void in my life I picked up a neglected CB 900F (1981).
I'm pretty active at the XJ Bikes . com site, giving advise where I can.
Hoping to learn alot about this bike and gain others wisdom.
I'll be posting Q's in the tech forum. |

Thanks for the welcomes, the bike was ridden like a rat bike- - ripped seat, cupped front tire, froze rear brake, missing signals and mirror, but it started on old gas and a run down battery: $700
It seems the front cam chain tensioner won't adjust.
Where do we put pictures? |

Hey, I've been waiting for an Orlando riding buddy. 
Let me know what you need to get that thing back on the road. I have some stuff I don't need and know where I can get more (depending on your needs).
Send me a PM if you'd like. |

Welcome to the site. Looking forward to pics. If it started and ran despite those "shortcomings", sounds like you got a worthy F. |

Thanks CowTown for posting the pic, thanks for the welcomes all.
Edited this evening- -
There is no rod
this is going to need more work than I planned.
The cam guide is broken. The bike has been cleaned and detailed,
and will be sold on Orlando Craigslist. |
