MetalHedd -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/22/2008 8:26:05 PM)

Thanks again D!
I'm happy that there are some good members who contribute to the knowledge of this forum.

From what I've gathered so far from about a 100 or so Erion's I've seen is that Honda started production in September of 2000.
The first ones off the line had the white spring which was only used for Erion Edition 929's.
The model identification given by Honda for this particular model 929 was the SC443.
If you look at your VIN plate and see CBR900RE, that's also an indication it's an original Erion.

I'll post some other serials and manufacturing months that I've acquired through web searches after I sort them.
Still lookin for that highest one!


  
jcowick -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/23/2008 9:44:06 AM)

sorry to bust in on this "erion" only thread but all this talk about yellow, white springs i had to ask mine says sc440 if im reading it right and has a white spring.it is a regular 929 2000 does that sound normal or is my spring the wrong color.lol i cant believe im asking is my spring the right color

bignibb -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/23/2008 11:44:43 AM)

ok metalhead, mine was assembled before your and has a yellow spring and jcowick has a non-erion with a white spring?  dscort has one that was assembled way before yours and mine and has a white spring, now his bike isnt exactly a stock off the show room floor condition erion and neither is yours and since im not sure if he owned his from day 1 but if not it is possible that his spring has been replaced.  not that it matters at all really but its not like there is a specific color spring for any type of 929 they might of ran short and ordered another batch and some came in white and some came in yellow, but unless you or owned the bike from day 1, i doubt we can claim anything but that.

Now LJ I hear ya on being a new member here. Wouldn't my posts suggest that I probably have been in the forum scene for a while now? I've been a member at VFRD longer than CBR Forums has even been around and I'm a member at Fireblades too. I'm not new to the scene by any means. So if you guys wanna raz the new members, then do what ya gotta do to get it outta your system. I'm not gonna wait a year to post interesting questions. I don't claim to know everything. That's why I'm here. I'm only as smart as the people whose company I keep.




Was trying to explain that you are new here. Not to the internet or motorcycle forums.
No one was razzing you either. Just not the kinda first few posts we are used to seeing here.
 
Mine ends with ....101930
I got the SC443 as well.
And the spring is yellow.
 
See if that helps.
LJ

MetalHedd -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/23/2008 4:45:18 PM)

Much thanks LJ!

I think it's safe to say that SC443 is most definitely Honda's designation for the CBR 929 Erion Edition.
As far as spring color goes, I was trying to get an answer for somebody who asked and thought my white shock (with the Honda part # lol) may have been aftermarket. I checked with the original owner and he said the shock was never touched. I may have to have it serviced tho as it's gettin a little older now. Anyhow, it's an original Honda factory part for the Erion only. Mine was one of the first 150 made. The first so many Erions got them. How many... who knows? I don't really care too much about it tho as that's not the focus of this thread.

JC, I'm glad you chimed in on the thread. It's possible your shock coulda been swapped for looks or as somebody else pointed out being faulty. I guess there were a batch of 'em that they had problems with. I don't have too much info on this as I'm just goin by what I read in another thread fwiw. As long as it rebounds good, I wouldn't think twice about it man!
SC440 is definitely Honda's designation for the Honda CBR 929. The reason this is kinda important is that you'll see people on eBay and the like selling "Erions" with SC440 in the VIN. They'll claim that the fairings were factory, but this is a good sign they were replaced for some reason or another. This should prompt a prospective buyer to look a little closer at the whole bike.

Good info people. Keep it comin!

bignibb -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/23/2008 5:57:11 PM)

how does 101627 equate into one of the 1st 150 or so to have been made?

what web site did you look on to search for genuine honda erion parts?

Chad4000 -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/24/2008 11:02:49 AM)

I was told 2000 is the number buy somebody at a dealer. not sure if its true or not. I have only seen one or two per city I have lived in. i have an erion (as well as the yellow) I will get my info when I go home.

BigMike0147 -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/24/2008 1:05:16 PM)

I don't have an erion, but I'm pretty sure I have a white spring.....Just wanted to throw that in there!!  ha ha

I was thinkin 2000 too. Since 2000 was the year that Erion Racing had all those victories, it would only make sense.
We'll see if anyone else has any more info...

bignibb -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/25/2008 8:15:46 AM)

and how do you claim with your vin to have one of the first 150 to have been produced?

just wishful thinking or was that the best answer you could come up with to explain you 100% stock white erion spring?

maybe I'm just hateing on you?

but I realy want to know how you figured your was on the first, common sense is just not allowing this to make sense to me!

djhh212 -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/25/2008 8:28:20 AM)

Common Sense?? LOL...This is what we're dealing with:

"I was thinkin 2000 too. Since 2000 was the year that Erion Racing had all those victories, it would only make sense."


BigMike0147 -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/25/2008 8:55:19 AM)

Alright, I know this isn't the first time this has been said, but I just wanted to add my .02

I do feel like Metalhedd is getting bashed pretty good.  However I see both sides to this story.  I do see some holes in the things that Metalhedd is asking and saying about Erions.  I don't know that much about them, but I don't claim to know either.  I think that's what angers people are people who make statements that might night be true (or claim to be true) multiple times. 

With that being said, I think this whole thing should be squashed and everyone chill.  LOL  And EVERYONE needs to put a little more thought into what they're saying.  Just wanted to give my opinion on the subject. 

I've been following this forum for a bit now, and THIS isn't something that happens on here often.  But I can definately tell which "types" of personalities are targeted.  No offense intened, just trying to bring peace!!  [:D]

bignibb -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/25/2008 8:59:44 AM)

I can line with that, I had a svt contour which was limited to 5K a year for a four year run and that mean only 20K were made ever, sound like a lot but it was still limited.

check my year and month
12/00

same as your metalhead so how was yours one of the first 100 or so when mine was made before yours again?

I guess I'm wasteing my time because whenever I ask you for some reasonable explanation to some bogus clain you've made you either say I'm hating or you don't respond either way I'm cool with it!

I just point out bull %$#! when I smell it.

What angers people is how a brand spanking new member deals with forum members that have been here for a while. Reread his posts from Day 1, which was pretty much the day before yesterday, and see who does the bashing. He's insulted everyone who tries to give him advice or rebutt what he's said with facts.

BigMike0147 -> RE: Erion CBR900RE Serials (3/25/2008 10:21:06 AM)

Yeah, I know what you're saying djhh.  I always did, lol.  That's why I said "personality".  That's the best way to describe it without bashing.  I know someone always throws the first stone, but I was just trying to maybe spark an initial peace.  If it's not going to happen, I understand. 

Just so you know that I know what you mean, this really relates a lot to when they guy came in asking about how to do a wheelie on the highway for one of his firsts posts (not that long ago).  That guy was reemed too (not saying he shouldn't have been).
