Hey all. Names Brian Im Currently Stationed in DC but im more often in NOVA and SOMD just got my first bike, its a 1999 CBR 600 F4. body is in damn good conditio but shes been sitting in a parking garage for a littleover a year so she needs some minor fixes as far as fluids and such...but yeah im all ears for new knowledge as i dont really know much... thanks

 

Welcome to the club, always good to have a new F4 owner... however, you should be shot for no pictures... man, we require bike **** here in the F4 section ;-)

 

Hey Brian,
Good find on the F4... I have a 99 F4 as well.. And I LOVE IT..
I keep all stock Honda fluids in it, and change the oil every 3-3.5k miles...
When you ride, do you hear any rattles coming from the right side? Sounds like BB's in a tin can?? If so, replace the CCTL, with the manual style...I did, and I have NO problems since then.
Keep up on your chain tension, tire wear and normal wear and tear.


I think I can speak for most of us in this forum... summed up in one simple quote..


"If you respect your bike, it will respect you back"!!

 

Ditto!

Welcome, and WHERE IS OUR BIKE ****?!?!?!?!

 

Ha sorry about the lack of pictures, i've been on my work computer. here ya go though. Thanks for the warm welcome as well.

All stock Honda fluid. ill keep that in mind. i need to make a run to the store to get all my fluids and ****. this not riding is killing me. as far as the BB noise, i havnt noticed anything but i havnt been able to ride much since im wating on my plates to come in.

 

True, nice bike man! The bb noise they talk about is usually because of CCTl going bad, it fairly noticeable so if you arent hearing it yet you should be fine. But the moment you do definitely replace it. I stayed OEM, some poeple swear by the Manual Tensioner, I dont get involved in it, I just go with i feel is right. Hopefully you get your plates soon buddy!

 

That's looking sweeetttt, so any plans for it? Any mods in pipeline?

 

Yeah im keeping an ear out for the BB rattle, As far as other mods mostly cosmetic stuff get her looking pretty, Power commander and a new exhaust. im all ears for ideas though.
