I'm in the process of buying my first street bike. It is a 2001 CBR F4I.
As i test rode it the other day none of the guages were working. what could this be?

 

Unless its a super deal,I would walk away from the sale.Who knows what else can be wrong.To answer your ? could be a short or the cluster is shot.If its a short you'd have to trace the wires to find the short.Cluster shot buy a new or working used one.

 

well, i talked to the guy and he said that its just unplugged. i sure hope thats all. and its got a "stunt tank" on it. and im not a fan of that at all. does anybody know where i can get a cheap good normal tank at?

 

Try ebay.What does he want for the bike?

 

he's letting me do payments..... so its kinda hard to walk away form the deal..
im giving him 3000 all together.

 

$3k for a stunt bike with electrical issues??? Did you ask WHY the gauges were unplugged? Most people don't just unplug them for no reason, especially when they're trying to sell it. Sounds like a shady deal to me...

 

all he said was thats how they were when he got the bike.....

 

dont buy that bike for 3k theres plenty of storys on here were people boutght a bike for 3k damn near perfect condition so id say its a bad deal.

plus i traded this 4 wheeler(worth 1600-2000 tops) for this 2001 f4i and even though it WAS a litely abused stuntbike it was the best deal ive ever made on cl

my bike has pizza pan sprocket,12 bar,full cage not on bike ,naked but other than that it is a great running/looking bike
