Good question the truth is that this is my first bike and really I love that bitch. lol. I like the bike alot and I am sure at some point I will get an rr but for now my f3 is my kinda gal. But Yeah i really have no idea how much full forks costs so if its too much for me then the springs is something that I will probably do so my wieght is 185 hopeully 200 sooner than later so is that going to change what I need at all? What happens if I take a passenger? But yeah if you could tell me what springs I need and then point me towards a thread on change the spring, sealer and fork oil that would be sick. And johnson yes right now i am only street but I would REALLY like to cross over to track someday... ive only been riding for like a month but its really all I do now if im not working.

Sorry Kjohnson, what I meant was an "Advanced" riding course, aka race school at a race track.

Not just your parking lot skills sharpening

 

+ 1 on advanced course. I did level one of California Super Bike school in may and going to do level two next week.it improved my riding by200%. Best money ever spent on getting extra performance out of the bike and me :-)

 

You're not taught trail braking and other advanced racing techniques in a race school.Racing school only teaches the basics. This is where serious liability enters the equation (and much higher insurance rates). Advanced is a broad description.It's all relative .

Suspension is always a good bet.Even when you go racing,suspension is where races are won and lost.Motor is useless without control.

 

I agree with you 100% Kjohson, First things I upgrade on my bike are suspension, brakes, and tires.

However, we need to look at who we are giving advice to.

An overzealous green rider, only been on 2 wheels for 1 month... No offense Cben, but new riders such as yourself should learn how to control a bike to its limits, while staying within the riders limits. Expensive performance upgrades are useless if you cant do anything with them!

Keep your bike running nicely with regular maintenance, and when you are able to scrape the pegs and burn off your chicken strips and you have got a good bunch of KM's under your belt, then look to upgrade.

Do whatever you like, it's your money and your bike, but putting new technology into an old bike that you should take for what it is and learn your *** off on it, isnt worth it. Save your coin, get good, then get a newer bike

 

I am a new rider as well, and I am planning to do some track days in a month or two. I am going to replace my fork seals and was thinking of installing some racetech springs for my weight. I am about 200-205lbs. What springs would I need? Also is it worth it, or should I leave the stock springs in for a while? I know I am not pushing the bike to it's limits by any means, I am just wondering if I should spend the $100 now for the proper springs and practice riding with the proper suspension set up.

 

Suspension and race tires are the best insurance on the track.

That is racetech's spring rate calculator... That will tell you the springs you need.

The springs are a great upgrade for the F2 as the stock ones are mush.

I would recommend upgrading from the 10w stock fork oil, and move up to 15w.

 

to the thread starter, you are a noob, learn to ride first, then sell the F3 to another noob, and get an RR when you want to race.
