Just bought my first bike, advice?
Hey everyone, I just bought my first bike. Got a 91 cbr600 f2, and love it! There's a few things I gotta fix on it though. The reserve setting on my petcock doesn't work, so when I run low on gas Im screwed. Any advice on fixing this? Also, my speedometer is calibrated horribly, so I need to get a speedohealer or some other product to recalibrate it. Anyone have a used speedo that they are willing to sell? I'm also having some trouble with the choke, but I guess I'll figure it out over time. Thanks!

yeah I took it to the honda dealership, it's gonna cost a bunch for the petcock. as for the speedometer, apperently the only way to fix it is buying the hundred dollar speedo online and manually adjusting it, which should be pretty simple. Im gonna take the intermediate msf course within the next month since Ive ridden dirtbikes for several years and dont really need the entry level stuff.
