HEy guys im new to this forum and just got a 97 cbr 600 f3 from my girlfriends dad for 2100. it only has 5800 miles on it. I needed to drain the fluids change the oil filter and a new battery but it only costed $120 for all that. did i get it for a good deal. And I looking at getting some parts for it. def a new tire and pipe.. any ideas on which ones?? i plan on getting on this forum alot so trying to make as much friends as possible.

 

Thats a great looking bike and for that many miles I would say its a great deal. Welcome aboard! Tires, you can get anything up to 180 width, but its made for 160 I believe. 180 will look cooler, but 160 is what the rim is made for and will provide better handling because it isnt being bowed out in a tight U form.

As for pipe... get whatever i have some random carbon fiber pipe short pipe that is mashed against my swingarm but it looks cool, doesnt get hot and sounds badass!

 

Sweet. 5800 clicks, not even run in properly yet. $2000 for something like that sounds like a bargain. If it where me I'd keep it stock, but that just me. Good luck & congratulations, their a great bike.

 

thanks guys.. i was looking at some pipes and was thinking about getting the yoshimura rs-3. also was looking at some spark plug wires and saw the nology hotwires and was wondering if they are worth the price?

 

also my front brakes are making a squeaking sound when i stop. im not sure if is the pads or discs any suggestions. and if i get a pipe and k&n air filter should i buy a jet kit aswell?

 

as far as a pipe check out delkevic pipes they sound nice and they have a great price.

 

I second that! I bought mine earlier this year and it looks damn good. The sound has a nice deep growl to it.

 

Hi just got my 95 f3 4 weeks ago and love it, having a few tech problems but i dont think it's the bike just poor maintance, its my first bike i paid £1400 for mine with 32k on it and its in mint condition never a day out it the rain and always garaged, but last owner put wrong oil in and naffed the clutch. so my advise is follow manual recommendation and service reg and you cant go wrong.
