My 2001 CBR 600 F4i build
I just bought this 2001 CBR 600 F4i on 11/27/10 for $900. It had been sitting for over a year. The bike had bad fuel, a bad fuel pressure regulator, a seized fuel pump, some broken fairings and a slightly bent rear wheel.
I drained the tank and cleaned it with sea foam and a lot of elbow grease.
I then bench tested the fuel pump and found it was seized. So I called the stealership and got a price $510.00 for a new pump, (I politely said "No Thanks"). I decided to take the pump motor apart and get a look at the guts and clean everything then reassemble. I got that running like new. I bought an automotive fuel filter and for $8.00 and that was that.
Next I pulled the plugs which looked pretty good so I cleaned and gapped them. Started the bike up and it was WAY TOO rich so I checked the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose and (you guessed it) it was wet with fuel. had to bite the bullet and pay the local Honda dealer for a new one $80 plus tax.
I figured while I was at it I might as well clean the injectors by pressuring them up one at a time with carb cleaner and opening them with a 12v jump pack. they all flowed very nicely after cleaning.
So anyhow she is running great now. I got her registered and insured and went for a ride today (that's when I learned of the bent wheel).
I bought a used set of wheels on craigslist for $120 this afternoon they are pretty ugly so I am painting the rear Gloss Black right now.
I like the bike a lot and will buy fairings after Christmas from Delkevic.
...more to come.
Here are some pics for your enjoyment/boredom:

Edt: Just noticed the rear sprocket is black which is also a giveaway...
