is it possible to run a drivshaft off a CBR 600 F4i? and if so where whould i be able to find one, thanks.

 

No. Shaft drive bikes aren't typically your best perfomers when it comes to handling, especially under braking.

 

what would make you want to do that in the first place?

 

Is it possible? Yes but it would require a lot of work and there would be no benefit that I could see so to me there is no point. Like itlnF4I I have to ask why you want to do this.

 

If you want a fun, sporty bike with a shaft, keep an eye out for a 84-86 Honda
Nighthawk 700SC. Hydraulic lash adjusters, electronic ignition, automatic cam-chain
adjuster (that worked), oil-cooled, in-line four engine. Very nimble, fairly forgiving
chassis.

Other-wise, have to agree with the others. Not a cost-effective conversion.
If it's a maintenance issue, consider a belt conversion instead. There are kits for that out there.

Hi. The belt conversion sounds interesting! Do you have any links to where one can be purchased? Not saying I'd do it, but would like to take a look at it all the same. Please send any addresses etc for me to view? Thanks!

 

Just google "Belt conversion motorcycle", that will get you started.
These aren't cheap, but if you ride a lot the cost will be recovered in about
3 chain/sprocket replacements.

Hi! Thanks for info. I'll take a look. Probably won't be cost effective as you say as I don't ride regularly now I'm retired! Just done a round trip to Manchester and back last week and the bike ran like a dream!
