Congrats on the bike! I just bought an 02 F4ia couple months ago....

.....+1 on the MSF course. I had been riding 2 wheels (mostly dirtbikes) for about 12 years and it still made me a better, safer rider.

Stock mirrors have decent visibility and can be found on ebay.

Hey quick question for you guys, don't want to start a new thread.

I tried to check chain slack with a ruler, and well everytime i push the chain up it hits the frame before the recomended 1-1 3/8in, is this normal or is there something i should take off? I also need to order a new sticker that goes on the rear left adjusted, the one that says when i need a new chain.

Frame as in the swingarm? If so, that is way too much slack. You'll need to adjust that for sure. Otherwise it will damage your chain, swingarm and whatever it hits when you are riding.

I'm checking between both sprockets and it hits the chain slide (not sure if thats what its called) and when i check it from where its sitting its less then an inch before it hits the chain slide. The bike is dropped an in so idk if that makes any difference

Well i tried it again, i pulled it down then back up dead center and got 1in, but if i move towards the front of the chain a bit more if i push up it hits the chain slide just a little bit, only if i push with force though so idk.

sorry guys, another stupid question.

Been looking at a lot of f4is on ebay (looking for mirrors) and noticed that on my cluster my turn signals are orange all the time and when i turn they blink, while on the bikes on ebay (ones with cluster pics) there not lit up at all. Is there something wrong with my cluster or light? And how can i fix it if its a problem? If not doesn;t bother me.
