Hello again!!! Due to unforeseen circumstances the F3 got put on hold. I have been reading this forum for months, great info and people. It looks like i will be bringing the F3 into the shop this weekend to start working on it over the next several months. For now it will to be get everything cleaned up, maintenance items, and get her running. Really looking forward to getting back on a bike it's been a few years since i have ridden. I used to ride a Yamaha hard tail chopper i built, I got rid of it and started riding dirt bikes. I have not been riding for 2yrs due to a back injury. All better! So now I need to put together another bike. The F3 seemed to be right for me. So I figure i will start and see where the bike takes me. Again great forum!!!!

Welcome to the CBR Forum Rob,

Looks like you have a plan there. With your riding experience is should be a doddle getting back on the road safely. There are many 600 owners on the forum who have rebuilt bikes so as any questions needed.
It may be worth your while to start a thread on the bike to show us what you are doing to it.

Cheers, SB

Here is how it sits. Although it is much dustier from sitting in the shed since fall. Sounds like ill start looking into it this weekend. I'm going to start with a new battery, possibly a fuel pump or pump switch and take off all the plastics. Then l be able to get a good look at what I've got to work with. Ill post pictures as I get them. I'm sure l have many questions and you all seem to have plenty of answers.

Cheers Rob.
