Hello from Melbourne, Australia, CBR600F3

Hello everyone, got myself a 96 F3 in Oct 09 and been enjoying every moment with it. Still getting to know the bike and getting back to riding after 18 long years. Overall she's a clean bike for its age and well maintained. Did an oil and filter change last weekend, can anyone point me to any forum or resource on changing the air filter? I also noticed minor oil seeping from the gear shift seal, can the seal be removed and changed from the outside?

Thanks people, appreciate some guidance. Cheers and safe riding

G'day

Thanks for the links, the name's Richard.

Yes am gettting back the confidence after such a long time. Prior to getting the bike I did a refresher course with Honda Riding, was a good investment.

Where abouts in Melbourne are you? I am in the Eastern out at Nunawading. Cheers

I imagine it would take a little while to get your road ridding legs back under you Richard ...a refresher course sounded like the right thing to do ...

We are down on the Mornington Peninsula .... been here for 15-16 years ..but I did come from up in the Eastern suburbs originally .... a few of our grown up kids still live around Kilsyth and Mooralbark and Croydon....

hey and welcome!! :-)

That is a lovely looking F3 ... we had that same colour scheme here in the UK during 1996 I think it was, is it a UK spec bike??

Anyway take care and enjoy the forums!! :-)
