Default Hello everyone!

Hello,

I have been riding since early 2011. I used to have a 92 CBR600F2 and recently got a 96 CBR600F3 from a friend. It is in pretty poor condition, but the plan is to fix it up to where it is presentable. So far I have cleaned the carbs and throttle plates and replaced the fuel pump relay. It was running great but just died in the past week Once I get it running again I plan to replace the sprockets, chain, wheel bearings, fork seals, front tire, fairings, headlight, gauges, mirrors, and turn signals. I have already used the forum for help and am sure I will be using it a lot in the future

Welcome to CBRF! Post some pictures of your project. These things take time, don't full on trust your bike out of the gate as you're putting it back together. Make it earn your trust so it doesn't strand you very far from home.

Thanks! I will definitely post some pics when I get a chance (senior design has me pretty busy)

@Conrice: Yeah, no kidding. After I initially had it running I rode it around for like 2 and a half hours, then my roommate took it about an hour away and on the way back it started cutting out and died It ran so beautifully when it did run though. If I can figure out what is wrong with it I would like to have it fixed by the end of next week.

Where are you guys from and how long have you been riding?
