Hello
I am Jatsin, I have been riding Honda for a while and I just got an f4i (my last bike was an f3) I just wanted to introduce my self here because i am prob. going to have lots of Q's. The bike is a 2002 CBR F4i
any tips or tricks for this bike would be great!!

 

how much did you pay for urs? and how many miles?

the reason im askin is because when i get my money (hopefully this week) my ideal bike is an 01-03 F4i so i was just wondering what kinda deal you got on urs.

 

it was a trade deal but the guy was asking 5k
the bike has 14k miles on it and some custom goodies (undertail and Carbon fiber barends etc)
2002 f4i

 

Hello Jatsin Nice to hear from you. How about some pics of your bike? The one in your avatar is a little small for me aging eyes

Best of luck

 

What tips tricks are you looking for? Or you going to be stunting or racing or just street riding. I will say even in stock form the f4i is pretty damn good at everything.

 

Welcome, I think you are going to like the F4i. Especially if you moving up from an F3.

 

Glad to hear from ya. Do a search on the cct and low end lag or hesitation, these a both VERY COMMONon this bike. This should put your mind at ease before your out ridin and think something is wrong. Also double check battery connections. This is also the cause of some minor problems that leave people scratching thier head. I am not familiar with the F3, but the F4i has a kill switch in the kickstand. In other words you can't start your bike without being in nuetral. That little feature has saved my butt a couple times after lettin it warm up while sittin on it and then poppin it in gear to take off(it dies immediatly).

 

I got the bike just like it sits (more pix coming) I am a bar tender so the Jack Daniels stickers were a hit with me! I liked the f3 but this is sooooo much quicker!
I think its going to be a fun summer! I am not planing on stunting but i might play around at the local drag strip some, its fun to race you palz and not worry about the cops! but i intend to street ride more than any thing.
I want to mod it a little, It has some small custom pegs and one is bent I think i am going to try and find the stock ones and replace whats there, the undertail is cool but the tail lights are always flashing so i think i am going to get that where the lights are just on until i brake then get bright, call me old fashion. the back seat is missing the grip strap so i am going to chuck it and just get a targa cover i think (any one have experience with this??)

Its warm so i am going riding thanks for all the feed back!!!

 

congrats on the new bike, a JD F4iguessing its a one of a kind, and your a bartender, nice! And ditto on what Ruftags said, i was fortune enough to get my F4i w CCT already swaped out for a man one,

Cheers
Dave
