Well rode it, of course.... lol. Little chilly out (43 when I left at the lower elevations, colder here at the higher elevations in this pic), but not too bad

 

Love that F4i.. Such a history with it.

 

Thanks! I still love it too.... running like a dream (though 3rd gear is getting a little picky.... gotta fix that soon). Still my pride and joy

 

I wish I had some beautiful scenery and twisties like that to ride. You would have to go at least two hours north just to find a few down here.
But I did put a new battery in my f4i today. Just waiting for it to finally stop raining, to ride!

 

New tyres and a radiator in the room housing the bike :-)

 

Hi guys! Just joined this forum as a new owner of my F4i.

Hi Jared, nice to see u here too!

What i do to my F4i today... nothing. Coz i'm still waiting for parts to come from overseas. (I'm in Australia)

But what I have done with this in past 2 weeks are plenty. The previous owner didn't seem to care much about opening the fairing let alone the engine.

I have: 1) Change oil 2) Change mirrors and add extension 3) Replace dead rear bulb 4)Change coolant 5)Change spark plugs 6)Change stock air filter to K&N 7) Cleaned a blocked vacuum hose under MAP sensor 8)Change FPR (yes it has all the FPR related symptoms and it's gone after I changed it) 9) Overal cleaning to the insides, it was super filthy.


I have no experiences in DIY before, so all of these seems amuzing to me. All the researches, asking people, reading manual are so exhausting. But it is rewarding at the end to improve the bike performance.

 

Stared at it sitting in my room, wishing it was riding season again.

 

Ordered a bunch of new parts.

Spielger lines front and rear, RK 520 chain, front and rear light weight chromoly sprockets, (also, new titanium bolts) locking oil cap and some A&N fittings for my new lines I am adding. The list of parts is coming along.

Still waiting on my Puig DB screen

 

Fitted reflective rim tape and reposol sponsor decals still undecided on a shorty can mod or a high lift link pipe ? Wadda ya think ?

 

Stuart, rim tape looks good, adds some nice contrast to the wheels..need to do the same myself soon. The decals also look tasteful, nice and tidy down low and small.

Rain was very light here today, still a little cold out but, I needed to top up my phone so that was a good enough excuse for me to go for a brief ride.
