Just got a 92 600F2 and dont know anything about it. Still waiting on my manuals to arrive in the mail but wanted to know if I check the oil while on kickstand or holding it straight up? Can anyone help?

 

Straight up and down

 

thanx man. Maybe you can help with my next question. The guy I bought the bike off of Said it needs a valve adjustment. Does this bike take shims like other rockets??

 

he might mean carb sync.. i rarely hear of people needing to adjusting their valves

 

The CBR's valves should stay in spec damn near forever, if there is a loud rattle sound coming from the motor - that's your Cam Chain Tensioner, which should be replaced with a manual tensioner made by a company called APE.

He may have heard this noise and figured it was valves, it's a common mistake.

 

The regulator/rectifier is another common issue with these bikes you have to watch out for. If your battery suddenly starts losing charge, the R/R may just be the culprit and should be checked as well as the usual suspects. They make aftermarket ones with cooling fins on them and can easily be found on ebay.

 

hey thanks for the good advice and tips fella's. But the noise Im hearing is just a faint rattle when the bike is sitting at an idle. would that still be the same problem?

 

If it has an OEM CCT (hydraulic) it's likely the culprit.

Swap it for the $60 APE CCT and be at peace with it

 

Thanks man, I will try that out and let you know.
