Default New guy, coming from an R6

Whats up?

I just picked up a 2004 600RR for 2900. I couldn't pass it up at that price. Clean title in hand as well. I used to have an 08 R6 LE, the Yellow/Black one, but had to sell it due to financial reasons.

So far I am pleased with the RR. I have only ridden it like 20 miles because I want to replace/fix some things before I really ride it. I picked it up yesterday at noon and now it is in my buddies garage waiting to get torn apart.

The main thing I need is new front brakes. The rotors are warped beyond all, I don't know what. Then it needs a new chain so +1, -2 520 conversion it will be. It has a full header back, but not the actual header, Two Brothers system but no Power Commander, so that is number two on the list. I am not sure if I am going to keep it right now, but if I end up liking it after I fix it I am going to keep it.

Anything to watch out for guys and gals? Any and all help will be appreciated.



-Greg


p.s. Pics will be up at some point. I literally got it and took it to my buddies house.

Welcome to the forum.

Hopefully you will love it and keep it. They are great bikes...
-1/+2 is a better combo for sprockets, unless you're looking for more top end at a cost of torque.

I meant to type -1 +2 haha.

Question, has anyone gotten those Chinese fairings off of Ebay? I need a complete set and well, 500 is pretty cheap for already painted fairings.
