Hey guys, I own a 00 CBR f4 and lately its just been so much of a hassle to really enjoy. After rebuilding it from a slight accident (just cracked the stator case and messed up the paint) its been having some grounding issues. ( i.e it breaks the main fuse after an hr of running) This has driven me to the thought of either parting her out of selling whole. The bike runs great when its on its just that i neither have the time or financial resources to get her 100%. So i was wondering if there would be a large demand for any parts? Im willing to set low prices just PM me what your looking for and if i have it i can quote you. Unless anyone could help me with a solution to the electrical ground issue its bye bye for now.

dont give up, its prolly somethin stupid. i went thur this exact issue with an old dirtbike i had, took me 3 years to finally figure it out.

sorry but i dont have any tech help

 

You cracked the stator case. did you replace the stator? if not its not uncommon to bare the windings and have the stator ground to the case.

 

dude keep workin it a lil longer, after 3 weeks of fighting with a trun signal that apparently had no current, i check fuses, wiring up and down the bike and just yesterday I found the problem to be a bad ground wire. In fact I have the wiring diagrams from my manual in color if u want I can get cha a PDF and post it tomorrow, just in case eventually u do decide to part-out...do ya have a rear grab bar? let me know thanks

 

im gona check the stator when i get home, when i replaced the case, it looked pretty in tacked. Other than that, im sorta speechless. I also replaced the plugs. Could that do it?
Any other suggestions?

 

yea i have the mechanic's book for the bike so I will flip through it later. And srry I dont have the grab bar, i did a F4i tail conversion so I have two seats instead of the banana seat.

 

Hope you fix it man but If you do decide to part out pm me ill be interested in the f4i conversion parts also if you still have the f4 tail and seat im interested in that too pm me let me knw thanx

 

where and how much is an f4i conversion? cant you just buy an f4i tail plastic and rear lights, seats and it all should work just fine?? open to hear all opinions.. thinking to buy a friends 2000 f4. also any way to have adj rearsets???

 

Where are you located? What would you take for your bike, complete?

 

I'd probrobly start by getting a new stator case and new stator. Sounds like something is shorted on stator.
