I just bought a 2001 CBR 929rr. Im told its a 100p thought. It needs some work. Just wondering what i should do first.

 

First thing is to evaluate what needs to be done. You can prioritize from there.

Don't forget about you and the things that need to be done that aren't on the bike.

 

+1 on what Demon74 said.
if you are new to riding or haven't ridden in a long wh8, take a motorcycle safety course. Invest in quality riding gear also.

 

Probably a little late to say this but the 929 is not a good first bike! Way too much power for a beginner. If at all possible, I encourage you to get something easier to learn the basics on....

 

Hey I just want to thank all of you guys for your inputs and advice. Ive rode before. Just never had my own bike. But Can hande it. I feel like its the perfect bike for me.

 

They’re a nice bike and glad your happy with her. Try and put her in tip top condition, you’ll be glad of it. Enjoy her mate as life’s for living.

Build your partnership slowly and have respect for those horses. We don’t want pics of your newly acquired pride and joy in bits. Ride safely within your limits and good fun times ahead for you !
Best of luck mate.

 

Okay, man, I hope you enjoy her and stay safe!

 

I got the 954rr as first bike, and altough it takes some discipline it is such an amazing bike.
The reason I bought is as a first bike was the riding comfort it gives at higher speeds and not sitting straight up with the elbows forced up with my face full in the wind.
I ride it for a couple of years now and I'm starting to explore how fast it really can go.
But my experience is that the fireblades in the lower rpm's are quite gentle and forgiving.
The first thing I did to it was changing the oil and its filter.
Also check the air filter and spark plugs.
Check the chain and the age of the tyres.
Check wether the wheels are running freely to ensure that the brakes are not stuck.
These are the basic safety checks one should do before riding a bike.

 

All good points!

I know I thought I was ready to jump from my Ninja 300 to the F4i after a year of riding. While mine is just a li'l ol' 600, the docility below 7-8K was very similar to the 300. I will say that I got myself into more than a few sticky situations in the upper rpm's until I chilled out and took time to work on my skills and understand the throttle. It really seems illogical, but working on the low speed skills really does translate to the high speed stuff, especially brake feel...

 

Thanks again guys.

Now why would this be ground down so bad.?? About lost my **** when i open up the stator cover. This isnt what i seen while researching changing it lol.

Work in progress lol
