Im the new owner of a 1998 CBR600SE. The Smokin Joes one. So I was wondering if there is anything I need to know about them or any must have parts or upgrades. I absolutely love the bike. It in pretty good condition too. I have a full custom pipe on it and it must be jetted cause it runs perfect. Im pretty sure those are the only mods unless it has a custom filter. I havent got around to takin it apart to see. Heres a pic:

the SJ's are some sweet *** bikes. My buddy bought one just before i found my F3. Luckily the F3 is a great bike and very dependable. I would just make sure you keep up regular maintaince. Only other thing i could say is once i swapped gearing on it my bike really woke up. I did the vortex RK set with -1 and +2. Other than that my bike is pretty stock and hangs with alot of the newer bikes for a good while.

I paid 2800 for it. There isnt a scratch on it. The only problem was one fork seal leaked but that was a easy fix. It is missing the top of one of the joes stickers but that is easily replacable. and it was a lil dusty. he didnt ever ride it anymore. it has right around 20,000 miles. It was a good deal i think. So all i had to do was give it a good bath, fix the seal, gas it up, and ride!
