1997 Honda CBRXX Blackbird CBR1100

Sounds like a stuck/sunken float to me.

Isn't that the one in the above thread, Is this a good buy??

Nope, two different animals.

The other one is 98. I wouldn't drive from Michigan to Georgia to pick it up either!

Flooding cylinder 2, I would be concerned about washing the cylinder then bad compression cylinder 2.

Perhaps you are right. But on a Honda? They never blow up, right?

I ran into the same problem on a 79 CBX with a D&D pipe on it that had been sitting a long time. The #3 float had sunk.

However, I know a skilled technician that could fix that problem inexpensively if it became a major repair.

The only thing about the early units are the brakes and clutch and R/R don't have the upgrades the later units do.
