I give up on this stupid cbr. Ive blown something in this bike for the last time and just don't care. Its up for sale and i can't wait till its gone. Finally had a rebuild with new rings and pistons and rods and blah blah blah and the bike was faster than its ever been and i even waited and didn't screw aroudn for the break in period to end and as im coming towards the end of it, i now again havea loud rattle and running off 3 cylinders... So i stopped caring about this bike and amazingly it still got up to 90+ mph pretty quickly in its blown up state. So i bid my hat to this bike and again, will be so excited when its gone. (end Rant)

im just happy i took the biggest pos


into this

 

I'm not going lie, I've noticed you've been running into a heap of problems with this particular F2. I would have gotten rid of it a loooong time ago. But that's just me. Crazy how you done so many rebuilds and what not. Think on the positive side though, you've gained much knowledge from all that! I still have a loooong way to go before I can start rebuilding engines hehe. Just curious, are you parting the bike out by chance?

 

Sorry to hear jank and I can't blame you for throwing in the towel, but it would be a shame to sell after all the work you put into it, but hey suby is right knowledge is power and I'm sure you learnt allot from the old Cibber.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do with the bike and I hope you’ll still hang around on the forum.

 

I'll prolly troll around the forum for a bit. I'm just hoping this bike leaves my garage soon as hell

 

that sucks man...not to be a vulture, but would you part with that belly pan?

 

sure, for 1200 dollars you get the belly pan, and i'll throw in a motorcycle and a spare motor

 

I really think you should keep it. Put it away for a while then slowly take it apart and find out what is happening inside that engine. Do it yourself, take every possible precaution and make sure it is put back together PERFECTLY. It's not normal for one of these engines to just go like that unless there was something really wrong from the get go. These are still marvels of engine technology even today. These bikes, as far as I'm concerned, are the bikes that made having a sport bike so much fun. They are nearly indestructible, need little in the way of maintenance and make gobs of real world, usable power. When you ride it do you enjoy it? I love motorcycles and can't imagine tossing one of these bikes. You have a history with this bike, mostly bad but you've got a history. Hell, my bike left me stranded just Monday about a mile and a half down the road. It was 101 degrees out and I was wearing jeans and a black T shirt. I pushed that damned thing all the way home, uphill for the first half mile. I'm 50, fat and bald. I wanted to cry. Will I get rid of my bike? Nope! I know that eventually, some day, maybe I'll just be able to hop on my bike any time I want and go road raping. I look forward to that day. Nope, I'd keep it.

Lolz this bike left me stranded 120 miles from home in like 95 degree weather first blow up. Sat for 5 hours for a trailer. Also I pushed this bike like 5 miles because a clogged air filter. Good news found a new motor for 200 bucks I'm going to pick up however im still selling it after words

 

throw in towel on f2, save and buy 600rr

 

I'm saving to one day buy a 1000rr but I'll never sell my F2. My all time favorite bike. Much more versatile than the 600rr IMO.
