Hey all. How are you doing. I recently purchased a 1990 Cbr 600F and i love it. the bike has 62,000 km on it, and some scratches on the side, but other than that, shes in great shape.

I am a computer tech and my mechanical skills are limited, however i am trying to do all the work myself with my Haynes manual so i can learn more about my bike.

I have replaced the brake pads in the front, i have to replace the caliper in the back soon. i am in the process of replacing the tires front and back and right now i am trying to work on 3 broken studs in the exhaust manifold area.

from right to left, the first 3 studs are broken. i have the replacement parts but i dont have the tools or the knowledge on how to replace them. hopefully after some digging on this forum i will find the answers i am looking for.

attached are a couple pics of my bike. Cheers all.

Welcome to the forums! I'm sure you can find some good info on here, and if you can't find exactly what you're looking for... just ask!

 

thanks for all the nice replies.

 

Hey All,

as an update;

i have replaced the tires with AVON Road Runners. i have also fixed the exaust. now shes all good to go and i took her to work it me for the first time today. what an exciting time riding for the first time, outside of the neighbourhood (40km/25Mph).

other than cosmetic work, replacing the ride side cowling, shes a beaut.
here are 3 pictures of my bike.

Cheers all.

Yep, you take her easy now!

Like Classic said, looks like you got a couple nice bikes!

 

didn't even notice that until you pointed it out! lol. thanks.

yeah takin er slow. no rush...just because the bike can break every motor vehicle law in Canada in first gear, doesn't mean i have to!

:-)
