Hey guys. New to the forum and to bikes in general. This is my first bike, a 1999 cbr 600f4. I've enjoyed every minute on this bike. It was my uncles and by the miles you can see it was just parked up. I cleaned out the carbs and flushed out some fluids and its like brand new again. Literally. 636 miles. Let me know what you guys think. I also did an undertail, lights and the targa seat cowl.

Dang you got lucky

 

wow that bike has been sitting for a very long time....looks good though

 

Sick.... a bike should never sit like that! You BETTER ride the thing!

 

That's a damn nice bike. I see you also added a tire hugger. It's not good to let a bike sit like that, but as long as it runs good it will be a great bike for you. My 00 F4 has over 29K on it and runs and rides great.

 

Great looking bike....enjoy it and ride the **** out of it....I bought my '00 F4 with 2500 miles on it this past March...changed the spark plugs and cleaned the carbs...runs like a warrior...!!

 

well..... how could you tell that it was broken in properly...

chances are... if he owned the bike for that long... and took it out every once every 5 months or so.... he rode it hard... and then parked it.


i mean he already did a few mods to the bike.... im guessing he has pushed the bike hard a couple times....

 

Thanks for the compliments guys. Let me add in that I am the one that added on the mods to the bike. I got the bike from my uncle with 300 miles on it and i only put about 300+ this summer because I was learning to ride on another bike. The f4 was parked in his garage for a few years without even moving. The tank was pretty rusted inside and It wouldnt start. After a new battery, cleaned carb and chemicals to treat out the tank, it started up like new again. I then proceded to put those mods on the bike(some of them he bought himself and never put on). As for proper brake in, he is a big believer in braking in a bike properly. I still need to brake in the bike (kinda funny for a 99) but it ran great this summer and I cant wait to jump back on it next year. BTW my uncle also has his own 750 gsx-r that he baby's so thats why he never rode the f4.The f4 was for his wifebut she wasnt into it too much so there a perfectly good bike sat for many years until I offered to fix it. Look forward to more posts on this forum. It has already helped me out quite a bitwith questionsI had.

 

300 miles in the summer, I put that on my bike i think by the 2nd day....

 

+1

I have had a few days where I rode more than that in an afternoon.

99cbrf4600- if you don't mind me asking-how much did you have to give him for the bike?
