Default 1993 cbr 600 f2

My name is J 24 yrs old and i am new to the forum and this is my first bike. I have ridden dirt bikes and quads since i was a kid. Rode my friend's bikes plenty but this one is mine. Paid 1500 with 27,000 miles on it. Front brake doesnt work, front lines were pinched so i replaced them. Bled the lines there is no air left in them. Still no front brake any ideas??? thanks in advance J

Hello JMoore84 ~ nice looking bike; always liked white bikes, good choice too
As for the front brakes my initial guess is that it's probably the master cylinder, although it could also be the caliper piston(s). Were you able to pump fluid out with by squeezing the lever? I should point out that the chain looks like it may need attending to.
There is a General Tech section below, and specific sections for each particular model. Feel free to ask any questions which you might develop or simply post subjects which you feel may be beneficial to others; that’s what it’s all about.
Welcome to the forum

Looks like you have a bit of rust on that shift lever as well.
The previous owner may have just givin it a sweet cosmetic job (plastics, seat, visual) in on order to sell it. I wouldn't be surprised if , once you pull those fairings off that you might find a bit of other whether effected devises. Give her a good once over. Make a list of possible failures.

Oh, and welcome to CBRF!

thanks classic ya she is all white. not as clean as she appears. the chain does need to be replaced. i posted this in the f2 section was just trying to optimize my responses. thanks baby shortee. the cosmetics arent all that great. paint is coming off in places. shifter and rear pedal are rusted the chain all need attention. i am not a flashy bling bling kind of guy. its my first it just needs to run and get me more xp with bikes. thanks for the welcome and the advice J

Default Nice

I have to say, that's a sharp looking bike for $1500. How does it run/ride?

And welcome to CBRF

Yeah I know where you're coming from bro...I'm 6'6" 195, it's tough for me to find a bike I'm happy with. This 929RR goes like a bat outta hell, I'm gonna take it nice and easy for a while. If I gun it in first, it will flip right back over on me
