Well finally got to ride it for real tonight, took me awhile to get the throttle cable routing right and adjusted properly.

I could get it up to 75-80ish mph and it would start bogging out on me.

 

 

I'm thinking it was due to being low on gas I got home and realized I was real low, going to fill it up today and see.

My kill switch is free moving doesn't click anymore is it possible to just completely bypass it? I never use the Killswitch.

 

Also my kickstand dowsndo seem right. I've had plenty of CBR's and this one doesn't lean to the left enough when on the stand. I have to grab it and pull it out more away from the bike to get it to feel somewhat comfortable leaving alone on it.

It doesn't look bent and the spring holds it up well but something has to be off right? I shouldn't be able to pull it more away from the bike in the first place anyway right?

 

You should be able to wire around the kill switch, it's just a simple rocker switch. Nothing fancy going on there.

Someone might have replaced the kickstand with one of a different measurement. Take a measurementof yours and see what it is. Tell me how you measured, from what point to what point. I will measure mine and see if there's a difference.

 

From the plate sitting on the ground to the top of the nut holding the kickstand on is roughly 9 1/2in

Thanks for all the help. You seem to be the only active member left lol

 

I'll be back area my bike in the morning and take a measurement then.

You're welcome. There are plenty of great people in here who are much smarter than me. I just own an f3 and have learned my around it some.

Activity on the forum ebbs and flows. Now is prine riding season for a lot if folks so they spend more time on their bikes than on the forum, which isn't a bad thing. During the winter months when people are doing projects or repairs is when everyone posts the most.

 

That looks right concerning the distance. I measured like you did, laying my tape on the little kickout arm as I measured. It was 9" to the center of the mounting nut and almost 9.5" to the top of the nut.

 

Hmm wonder why mine sits so straight and not leaned like every other CBR I've had. Just nabbed a engine fairing for $10 with the ugliest paint job ever.

 

Picked the frame up with a clear Michigan title for $150 and he gave me the fairing for free what an odd air brush job
