Intro: Bakerbuilt Garage/ First Bike
9 Attachment(s)
Ive been working on Honda's and Acura's for some time now, building some absolute beasts. I finally convinced the wife to let me get a bike! I figured I'm still building my car ( 01 S2000) so I wanted something to enjoy in the meantime. I'm currently in the Navy ( active) witha little over 5 years in. I get out in September, my rate is MA (Military Police). A coworker mentioned he had a bike he'd be interested in selling, I ran it by the wife and got the green light so here we are. Its an 04 F4i with 20k miles. The guy that had it did nothing but change the oil, but he barely rode it. SO me being the kind of person I am got to work on all the maintenence that had been neglected. This is the first bike I have worked on or owned but I'm pretty damn mechanically inclined. Ill attach pictures of work I've done on a few cars as well.
First things first, WhatI have done so far: Oil/Filter change ( Mobil 1, K&N) Cleaned the piss out of the chain and bike Lubed the chain Lubed the clutch and throttle cables Brake pads front and rear EBC Front/Galfer Rear (Both Sintered) Replaced the broken front mirrors Flushed front and rear Brake fluid Changed spark plugs Installed Ram phone holder Fuel system cleaner To do/ Parts ordered list: Change rear taillight( from Ebay to Motodynamic Integrated LED) Shorty levers Flush coolant/ change thermostat Install lower Temp Fan switch Install LED's into passenger footpegs (Running,Brake and Signal) Install HID headlights (High and low beam) Install gear shift indicator ( I dont know why, I just wanted it) Install K&N air filter Future mods: Paint fairings and tank (not a huge fan of yellow) Ditch the seat for a split seat( my wife likes riding and wants a small backrest so I'll fab something up) With that being said if there is anything maintenence wise i missed feel free to chime in!

Pretty cool stuff there.
Only thing I'd add to it is to check your valve clearances. |

Are you sure he could handle that? ;)
It couldn't be any harder then a timing belt on an Acura NSX, or a Charge,Inlet pipe, Intercooler, Fuel pump an Fuel injector Install on an R35 GTR. Those were pretty time comsuming jobs the first time. lol |
Wait, you wanna change out one of the best 2up seats ever installed on a sportbike?
