So I have always been a bike lover, but have only ridden single cylinder four strokes.. The sportiest I had was a Yamaha RD 350 couple years back.

I picked up a cbr600f3 this morning, from a guy for $1500, with 18000 miles on it.

I rode it around and engine was fun, not smoking, gear shift were precise and clutch had no lag, but the front forks seemed bent The guy said the bike was layd down in his parking lot by his GF, I dont see how that could bend the forks, so whatever.

Now when I ride it straight, the handle bar is offset seems 5% turned left and the bike does not like to turn, so does this look like bent forks to you guys?

For how much and from where can I get the forks?

Howdy and welcome aboard!

Before assuming the worst case, try aligning the forks. Bent forks from a simple lay down: unlikely. Forks getting twisted in the triple ts and knocked out of alignment: possible. Search the forum for "align forks" and you'll come across plenty of hows

 

Welcome! I agree that the forks probably just need to be realigned.

 

Maybe twisted forks BUT

Take it to your local bike shop and have then check the frame /steering head alignment.

Those fairings and tank ........ some new ? Tank new ?

Heard the girlfriend in the parking lot routine .....many many times !
Which for me anyway is a "wake up call". Careful don't impulse buy !

 

Hi and Welcome to the Forum. Also need to change all the fluids. Don't know what the PO has in there.

+1 on the twisted forks.

Gear Up and Ride Safe...

 

Welcome to the forum, man. Likely tweaked forks like kuro said.

 

hey guys, another thing I need the right fender insert, I can find it anywhere??

 

Hi & welcome to the site!
Ditto on the tweaked forks as mentioned above.
By fender insert do you mean the maintenance cover on the r/s fairing?
EBay is your best friend for that.
Good luck and enjoy the forum

 

Yep, that's your best bet for all those little plastic parts. If you're patient, they'll pop up on there.
Try a bunch of different search terms, and if all else fails sometimes you just need to do generic searches like "f3 plastic" and sift through the BS.

 

Welcome!
