Ok guys im new here and am looking at buying an 1999 F4 for 1900 it needs fork seals and a battery and the guy made it a stunt bike is the price worth it and how much am i looking at to go back to orginal/ what parts do i need

 

Photo link is broken mate!

 

I hesitate to give advice on purchasing stunt bikes b/c you never know what exactly they've been thru. W/o knowing more about the bike's history, suggesting a price is near impossible. However, for an excellent condition '99 F4, per KBB, it lists for $2,085. So, his asking price of 1900 is somewhat high. Not trying to discourage you...just want you to be aware.

Regarding the maintenance issues your list...

Fork & dust seals are easily replaced. You can do this work at home very inexpensively. There's many threads here on the forum on how to do it. The factory Honda service manual has an excellent section on how to do it. We have links here in the F4 section for the online version. Download it & take a look.

I use Yuasa batteries (Honda OEM) but there are other options out there. If you have a CycleGear nearby, they can assist as well.

Welcome to the forum.

 

honda cbr 600 f4 this is the add for it

 

For that price, I'd say NO, reason being is, it's gonna cost to get that back to an original F4 mate, so why not buy a clean F4 for the same money and save yourself the hassle. I bought mine a couple of months ago for £1800 GBP, not sure what that is in US Dollars, but believe it or not, that's CHEAP here, they're going for anything upto £2500BGP.

 

Id say no n tell you to buy mine lol

 

Well, there ya go! The obvious solution! :-D

 

Seemed like a logical plug lol

 

Have you ever owned a street bike before? What do you intend on doing with this bike? Stunts or for regular commuting and rides?

 

I'm gonna agree with Gotcbr, stunters get riden hard and there's no really determining
what shape the motor's really in. He's asking a bit much, imo. Top dollar I'd pay is a grand.
And I AM a good mechanic, so I can deal with the issues that will come up.

He hasn't done much to change it from stock, basically looks like a sprocket change,
added a cage and went to a naked front (probably totaled out the front fairings,
another reason to pass on this one).

On the basis of your questions and post, I would say, "Keep looking."
Don't add the frustration/cost of learning to be a mechanic to your introduction
to learning to ride motorcycles. Pay a little more up-front and get a clean/stock
machine. You'll be glad you did.

You're already ahead, since you have the sense to ask your questions BEFORE you buy,
instead of after! So keep posting and questioning, and welcome!
