Steering notchiness, swingarm play, wheel-bearing roughness and a leaking shock call for different inspections. Honda treats these as separate service areas on the chain-drive CB900F. Support the motorcycle safely and isolate the movement before ordering; a new damper cannot correct a worn pivot or wheel bearing.
The F uses nominal 39mm air-assisted front forks and twin rear dampers. The featured rear set is listed at 365mm with four spring-preload positions; it does not promise the original VHD rebound and compression adjustments. The swingarm bearing-and-shaft kit renews a pivot that already uses needle bearings on the stock F.
Find the cause first. Check tire condition and pressure, wheel bearings, wheel condition, shock mounts and the swingarm pivot. Honda lists several possible causes of rear-wheel oscillation. Replacing shocks alone will not remove play in a bearing or damaged mounting point.
Use the F-specific service section. The original F rear units use spring preload with separate damping adjustments; the C rear-air system is a different arrangement. Follow the fitted replacement shock maker’s instructions when aftermarket units are installed.
No. They are described for custom applications, and the length change affects suspension geometry and clearances. Assess travel, tire and exhaust clearance, chain behavior and stand operation with a qualified suspension specialist before choosing a shorter setup.
