Not exactly sure what you mean by "lost power" but if you mean not running very well. it could be a weak battery/charging system, for which these bikes (along with the 750's) are known for. the rotor in the charging system does not put out a sufficient voltage when it gets hot on many bikes especially ones with high mles; if the coils aren't getting a full 13 or better volts the bikes will not run very well and sometimes will just die. If you mean just totally quit and everything went dead check the main fuse located on the stater switch relay. Could be lots of things but that would be a good starting point to check.
According to Haynes, the Honda CB900C Fork capacity (filled with ATF) is 9.5 oz on the 1980 model and 9.8 oz on the 1981 model.
It is unlikely as the frames do not have the same part numbers cb900c 1980.............50100461000ZA 1981.............50100461750ZA 1982.............50100461750ZA cb1000c 50100MG1000ZA Regards Jake Preston,England
To free a seized idler screw on a 1981 Honda CB900C, first apply penetrating oil to the screw and let it sit for a while to loosen any rust or corrosion. Use a proper-sized screwdriver to apply even pressure while turning the screw gently in both directions. If it still doesn’t budge, consider using heat from a soldering iron or a heat gun to expand the metal slightly, which may help break the bond. If all else fails, carefully use a screw extractor or tap to remove it without damaging the surrounding components.

I have a 1982 cb900c. Check on the rear frame to see if there is an Emissions sticker. Mine is near the front of the rear tire on the driver's side of the bike. It lists several requirements for the bike, including oil type. Mine reads: SAE 10W-40 SE. The sticker is faded, but I believe mine reads 600cc oil capacity. CALL A HONDA SHOP AND VERIFY THIS INFORMATION BEFORE ATTEMPTING REPAIR. Repairmanuals.com probably has original manuals for your bike. ($35-40) Overfilling oil could lead to burning oil in the cylinders, which will cause damage to the engine and cause lots of blue smoke while running.
AnswerOn the 81 CB900 the low side is for faster accelerations or for riding in the mountains or in town. thehigh side is for highway riding and helps improve fuel mileage.There is a lever which selects which set of five gears you are using. You can change from one mode to the other as conditions warrant.
