I just bought a 2007 CBR1000RR!

 

Congrats!

What color is it?

 

Black. If I could find the link to send a picture I would. The upper cowl is damaged and needs to be replaced but other than that it is in excellent condition. Only 4000 miles! Initial buyer bought this as his first bike and needless to say was a bit scared of it. On top of that, he lived in the city of Chicago where it is rather difficult to ride a lot of miles.

 

It's not yours until you customize it.

 

Good point! Any good ideas what I should do? What are some common customizations to these bikes? I am new to the sport bike scene but so far love it! My other bike is 2015 Yamaha VMAX so familiar with the speed but the handling is absolutely phenomenal!

 

That is a ton of first bike....

 

Its my 6th bike and its a ton!

 

Quick question. The seller had told me that he did chain maintenance before he put it up for sale and had used WD40 to clean and lubricate. I am not familiar with chain driven bikes so help me out here. Is WD40 good enough to use for lubricating the chain.

 

I use it to clean mine. Spray it on a rag and wipe all the old stuff off and finish off with chain lube. Just don't soak the rollers, as it will tend to make the wax not stick.

As a lube, it won't last but a few miles.

 

Do aftermarket fairings fit well? Do the colors match OEM?
