I had to have my cam change adjustor worked on. I think originally it was a recall item but i bought mine from a friend who moved away and I never got the paperwork. Yours has probably already gone thru that but you might want to check on it if you have all the original paperwork.

Other than the cam chain tensioner the only thing that seems to give these bike trouble is the nut behind the handlebars. Pretty bulletproof from what I hear. If you haven't yet you might want to check fluids (brake, clutch & radiator) and change if needed. Enjoy the bike.

I'm new to the CBR 1000F too, having bought a '91 myself.
I used to have a 600 F2 back in Ireland, so this is quite a step up.
Great fun tho'
