just got a 91 CBR1000fm. LOVE IT!!! it's my first bike in years! found out through the DMV here in North Carolina, that it has been wrecked and considered damaged :-( no worries however, im slowly rebuilding and making it my own ;-) week #1 new tires and racing bearings. week#2 new chain ordered. week#3 brand new battery! next few things on list include a clutch plate kit, and oil change. also looking for aftermarket fairings or clean original fairing kit. seat is also cracking and will need replacing. clutch is slipping when i give her the power..pretty depressing.

A little clutch slip isn't too bad, tho. Could be much worse. Clutches are an easy job on most bikes.
Now if your clutch was slipping in your car... yeah, that would be a bit depressing. Those are always such a pain in the ***. lol...

Thank you both. I will have to give the rotella a try. Is there a certain weight I should look for? How much oil does a bike like this require

Well, itsbeen a while so here's a quick update on the 1000F

Rear swing arm and wheel off - rubbed down, re-sprayed and lacquered
Rear brake caliper overhauled and refitted
Still to do
brake and cluch fluid change
Front wheel strip, clean and respray
Seat recover and refoam
