Question F3 front tire/suspension promblems

Ya i got a 96 600 f3 and my rim and tire are trashed.. Rim bent and tire shredding. For sure replace both but do and other honda/cbr models fit the demensions of my f3? Like a swap?
And theres somethin wrong with the front forks. They have no presure. . And are way too soft. I made all the adjustments up on top of the forks too harden the suslension but didnt make any difference...

That and the preload is set really soft. To stiffen up the preload, all you have to do is screw in the part that has the little adjustment dampener adjustment. There are little rings that go all the way around, so make sure you have the same number of rings showing on each side.
