New to the bike world
Hey guys. I just got my first bike about a week ago, and figured I should join myself to some kind of forum so I can get all the pointers I can get.
I bought a 2005 CBR600RR. So far I love the bike. It's practically mint condition. 6,200 miles. Slip on Yoshimura exahust and fender eliminator kit. Everything else is pretty much stock.
I received a second set of plastics with the bike that are red/black and I am going to change them out this weekend. I was hoping I could get a little advice on how to do this. My friend did this on his bike, and it took him like 4 hours just to change the front cowl and the side fairing, and I'm hoping there is a quicker way to do it.
I will be on the forums here quite a bit as I jump into the bike world. Thanks for any help guys!

hey! welcome! I recently joined the forums too. I love this place hehe
Anyways I'm pretty jealous I wanted a RR but a F4i is just as awesome i realized when i bought the bike and rode it hehehehe. But yeah, the owners manual is probably your best friend for things like that, or so i'm told. They have a step by step guide to taking off and putting on fairings!

Really nice bike. I suggest you get yourself a shop manual. You can download them; but I just love having an actual book that I can thumb through, drool on, and get grease all over. I might also suggest using a light touch on the fasteners. It is not too difficult to crack the plastic by over-tightening the fasteners. Snug works well. Gorilla strength equals heartache. lol
