that is a great deal if nothing is wrong with it from sitting for a while. get some nice high mount exaust and a fender eliminator kit to start with then go from there.

 

Nothin, good deal, justride and you may pick up on some things that you would like to change on your own.

 

tires
this is very important (though expensive ). old tires harden up. my '02 F4i would be cleaner looking if I'd changed out my tires sooner.
don't keep any tires older than 3 yrs.

 

if that's the origional oil you're running in the bike, RIP CBR lol

 

forgive me but I am just getting ready to buy my first street bike an 02 0 F4i and I was curious as to why the first thing you would recommend to do is put a high mount exhaust and a fender eliminator kit?

Eager to learn this bike inside out.

 

because the stock fender is ugly as sin and the high mount is just his personal preferance...even though i agree. high mounts are just sexy!

 

ha ha no the oil been changed twice before i got it i bought it from a guy who bought it for his wife and she didnt like it the only bad thing is ho lowered it and im about 6'2 so i feel a little big on it how would i lift it up a little?

 

1) change the oil anyways 2) I think tires will be okay untill you are ready to push it a little in some corners(dont recommend at all till new tires). You want to RAISE the bike? Never heard such a thing, doesn't sound like a good idea. Maybe there is some type of thing to raise your bars?

 

k i will change the oil (what oil should i use?) and how offten should i change it cars they say 3000 bikes is like 1500 or 1200 im not sure? and the guy ibought it from said he took out a link under the back shock and puta smaller one something like that anyone know what im talking about? he said it lowered it like and inch or two
