My names Brad. I just bought my first street bike Friday. A 2001 Honda CBR F4i. I love it. It had 22,000 miles on it, and had a problem running. It runs, just misses. Low compression on cylinder 3. It was pretty cheap so I bought a new motor for it and I should have it this week. I cant wait. The motors probably easily fixable but I wanted to put in a motor with less miles. The new one has 11k on it. Got it for a steal as well. Has a Muzzy slipon, it's lowered, and everything's polished. New tires & brakes. Let me know what you think. Oh and if any of you are in Fayetteville send me a pm.

 

welcome to the cbrforum, brad. best of luck with the transplant.

 

thanks, i dont see it being too painful. just time consuming making sure i dont forget anything.

 

Welcome, Brad! Sharp looking F4i, man. Best of luck!

If you have any question during the swap, let people know. I'm sure you'll get some good help.

 

thanks man, im sure ill end up asking something on here lol

 

Welcome! F4i's are pretty easy to work on. I have an 08 1000rr. Taking the fairings off of that are fun!

 

yea i printed out the fsm for it.... all 400+ pages lol. it didnt look too bad. I just paid the guy with the motor, should be here in 3 days. now i have a saturday project hehe. i cant wait. I can ride on this motor, but it misses after sitting at a stoplight for a min until i hit the higher rpms, then it runs ok. I might tear the old motor down after i get it out and see what kind of fix it is. if its an easy fix someone can buy a good cheap motor from me lol
