Default bad luck

Iwant to share my bad luck story with you. I received a loan for my cbr f2 as a x-mas present ($3,000 ) I still have to pay back. approx 3 weeks later I got laid off. the bike was missing front left rotor and caliper and had the wrong size tires on it. got new tires but finding rotors for an f2 has been hard. Iam very happy tohave located your great deal.then notice the chain is gettingstretched often so yesterday I buy a new chain stopped at home for min then went to leave to shop which is only 5 blocks away. I started the bike and hear a faint pop sound aroundseat /gas tank areathen the bike stalled so started it and it stalled again ,turned the choke up I was able to get the bike two blocks from shop and had to push it the rest of the way.I hope to find out today what is wrong but it doesn't look good andI'm still out of work and gas prices hear arealmost $3.00 gal so I hate driving my van. I'm already going through riding withdrawal. sucks

$3K for an F2 that needs work?? Bike prices must be high in CA.

I'm thinking that the F2, F3, and CBR900 rotors are all the same.
