Talking First Time Rider, Joined the CBR Family

Waddup!

I just purchased my first bike and it was a CBR of course. 2006RR 600 and I'm damn sure in love already.

I'm looking to do some immediate, but simple, maintenance such as changing the chain, oil, and back sprocket. The only thing is, I don't have a clue where to even begin.

ANyone got any guide books or suggestions? Maybe I don't even need to change the sprocket but it seems like a nice place to start.

Thanks for the help!

hi and welcome

get yourself a workshop manual or download one (i think you download them off the site), from my own experience, have a good read of it to get to know the ins and outs of your bike, if anything is worn (replace) otherwise start with the service stuff (oil/filter,plugs ect).

Welcome to the CBR Forum,

Lots of new CBR600 owners joined up lately so settle in and ask any questions you need.

Cheers, SB

Welcome to the forum!

First thing to do is pull up a cold one (or warm cup depending on where you are) and have a good read. There are many threads on topics like mods, maintenance, repairs, and things to do to a new to you bike.

If you don't know what you are doing on a bike, have a shop check it out for you. Bikes are pretty simple if you have a good understanding of how they work, but don't risk your life on a machine if you don't.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the warm welcome! I have noticed that riders are much more family-oriented then most other groups.

I really look forward to providing this bike with some TLC and will definitely peruse some of the guides/handbooks around the forum.

Additionally, do any of you have any recommendations on where to shop for fairings? I bought my bike with some plastic damage and will be looking to replace them here pretty soon once I get a strong understanding on how to ride.

Thanks for the help again.

Well.... I got mine from motorcyclefairingsrus.com but the customer service wasnt that great. They made an error on my tail fairing and never agreed to replace even after other users had the same problem. they are now Extreme Fairings.com Just a heads up, the pricing is good, the paint job look nice from other work I seen. But the customer service was not that great. Hope this helps
