First thing I would do is raise it back up to stock, that thing it way to low to ride anything to haow it needs too lol.

Good job on starting small n working your way up. You wont regret it n will be a better rider for it!!

looks good other than it sitting to low.

Yea I know Im going to buy stock links to raise it back up. After the 250 im used to being able to whip it around corners and i dont think this will help that addiction. But thanks

good to hear lol, and yea wont help it at all. raising the front will be easy, n like you said a stock link will fix ya up in the rear. That kick stand will take some work tho lol or just replace it too

Welcome to the CBRF, treye! Nice looking F4i, man. Certainly needs raised up a bit, but other than that... very cool bike.

Welcome

Hiyu treye.... very nice buying .... only $2.8k and 10,000 ! chit , she is not even ran in properly ..lol ...great pics too .!!
and yer ..lowering is for hot rods ...not sport bikes ... lift her back up so you can get a little more lean angle happening ....

very nice though ...well done ..

and remember to take it easy while you learn to ride her ...

BTW : Need any help around here just PM me :-)
