dudes.......
trying to be able to save a buck and DO IT ALL BY MYSELF.
plus im a bit broke.........
but how do i even get to my spark plugs?
My bike wont start probably cuz didn't change oil fast enough.....[>:]
i've bought new battery.
Just changed my oil with 10W - 40 because of high mileage.....
trying to isolate reasons why not getting a crank.
i have battery now... just no fire...hence me wanting to go to the spark plugs next....

by the way it's a 1999/2000 CBR 600 F4


not sure of the year......
seller said 2000..............
labels under fairings say 1999
which to believe?

 

I seriously doubt your oil has anything to do with it not starting. Did you put car oil in it by any chance? Was the oil "Energy saving" type oil? If it was then your clutch will probably start slipping.

 

your spark plugs are in the top of the motor. you have to take off the coil from the plug and put a spark plug socket down the hole and take it out. you might want to look into finding a shop manual which will go in depth about how to do the things you want to do step by step.

 

i put 10W - 40 motorcycle oil. not synthetic
why does it back fire ?

 

Replace the sparkplugs and make sure the battery is fully charged. If it still is backfiring then let it run. Its probably just crap in the motor thats being burned.

 

how much is a spark plug socket?
i'm bout to go to discount auto parts.
it hurts much because my bike is my only mode of motor transportation.[>:]

 

hello again.....
i've finally found all the tools i need to channge the spark plugs. in fact, im just wrappin' up now tightening the last plug. i've changed the oil. i'm gonna release some because i think i put too much. i bought new fuses just in case. will change those before cranking. and bout' to put air filter back together again first. i intially"drawn out"myself a diagram of where my fuses go back just in case i couldnt remeber. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME.all went successful thanks to the CBR Forum......

Ihaven't got it started yet, but at least i'm able to "weed out" scenarios thats causing problems without going over $100 bucks so far.... Thanks everyone...
