So I found a killer deal on an 01 CBR 600 F4i
pics in ad:
so i just got back from seeing the bike
clean title, 31k miles and has 3 month old tires, new brake pads, and shocks
...it has some issues
-the headlight cowl, tail and side fairings all need to be replaced, most are broken tabs or cracks. all from parked drop on both sides. the rear seat also needs to be replaced/repaired. couple small dents on both sides of tank
the speedometer doesnt work when the engine is cold, it continuously reads 0 until you hit highway speeds... anyone know what could be causing this?
there is an electrical cable that connects around the clutch lever that has been disconnected. I have no idea what its for, but it has two prongs and the owner of this bike has just spliced them together. i believe it was this piece circled in red (note this is NOT THE ACTUAL BIKE, but something I found online that resembled the electrical connection in question)
what is this thing?
the chain needs to be oiled and re-tightened
all fluids need to be flushed and re-filled
new pads, but could use new rotors
also needs a new battery, thing dies pretty quickly. seller says its original (maybe this will fix speedo problem? assuming its not the speed sensor)
also no mention of the valve adjustment, how much does a mechanic charge to do the valve adjustment?
all in all, i talked him down to $2800, still thinking about whether to pull the trigger...
hes also including a $700 shoei helmet in new condition that i could sell (too big anyways)
he was initially asking 3200$ for whatever its worth..

RE: So I found a killer deal on an 01 CBR 600 F4i
i'd try to get him to drop the price some more. I just wouldnt spend 2800 on a bike with 31K on the clock. plus this bike appears to need a little work. All of the fairings for this bike, IF you buy them OEM. You will be spending around $2K for them. So in return you would have about $4800 invested in the bike after the plastics are bought. Now this doesnt cover the other odds and ends that are broken and need fixed.............I bought my ole lady an 01 f4i in MINT condition with 8K on the clock, and i paid less than your offer.....=-)
