Canadian Harley Guy..uh oh!
Hey folks, a little out of my element, as i am a proud owner of a couple 03 100 year anniversary HD's (Ultra and a Dyna)...love them, but know nothing about CBR's. My reasoning for joining is my 20 year old son just bought a 2004 CBR RR 600 and thought i could learn about these bikes. I twist a good wrench on harleys but dont have a clue with CBR's. I know that when he has issues or wants to do mods, dear old dad will do it (which he loves doing!) and this forum looks like the right place to start!
Been riding for over 25 years, love bikes, dont care what kind either, biking is biking. Live just north of Edmonton, Alberta....so greetings to all!

Welcome to the forums! My dad had a 95' Easy Glide HD and like an 87' Easy Glide when I was growing up. Loved his Harley's, but I ended up getting a CBR a month back as my first bike.
I can't be much help with learning about the bike, but, at least your son is riding with you
Wish my dad would buy another bike.

Welcome to the site, Mike! If you've done much wrenching on Harleys (which I bet you have...hehe), just take everything you know and reverse it. 
Just kidding kinda, but the CBR is a different beast for sure. I don't think you could get more opposite as far as bikes go.
If you don't have a manual already, HERE is one to download. The file is marked as 2003, but it's the same for the '04. Looking through it will give you a good idea how everything works.
