Hello im Jake im 20 and from south of chicago. I currently am teaching the motorcycle safety program in Illinois for about year now and decided it was time get a bike. This morning i just bought a 89 cbr 600f for 100 bucks but it doesn't run sadly. So I found this site and it seems great. Im excited to get involved.

 

Welcome & good luck on the re-build. You will find tons of help here, just ask & the techs will chime in.

 

Welcome to CBRF Jake!! Sorry to hear about your new bike not running, but for $100, that's still not too bad of a deal. Hopefully it's something simple. Just start pummeling the guys in the 600F Section with your questions and I'm sure they can help you out in no time flat.

Post up some pics of your bike when you get the chance and don't forget to swing by the Riding Skills section and share some of your MSF knowledge with us.

Good lucking getting the old girl running and enjoy the forums.

 

Hi & welcome aboard Jake,glad to have you with us
Visit the boys in the F1 section for answers to any questions you might have on getting your new bike running.
Good luck and enjoy the forum!

 

Welcome to the CBRF!!! Congrats on getting your 1st bike. Post up your questions in the 600f section, great bunch of people there will help you out. After you get your bike running sign up for a MSF....

Gear up and Ride Safe............

 

You shoulda gotten a 250. LOL..
Ok, I couldn't resist.
Like others said, stop over in the F1 section and see if anyone can help. What are the symptoms?
Wish you luck with getting it running, but even if it's totally screwed.... you can still make a good bit more than $100 just off the parts. You can't really lose.

 

Well here she is. Body is really really clean for being so old. It was dropped while being pushed but the fairing were not even on it when it happened besides that I was told it was jetted and it has a kerker exhaust. I hate small bikes I work on 200's at work all day long and they have to be the biggest pains in the world haha. Although they do have this 125 eliminator that is quite a riot Wooo go random abate bikes.

 

Very nice looking bike! You're right, the fairings do look in good condition for their age. It's getting harder and harder to find bikes that um .... mature, with their original fairings in the original colors. Even without her running right now, you've still found yourself a nice deal.
