Hey guys, I just got my f4i a month ago, already put 1500km on it, and loving every second.
I started off on a ninja 250 last year, gained some confidence on it, and decided this year to upgrade.
Took a month of hunting, but finally found the white/red color scheme that I always wanted
I'm pretty sure I've overpaid, but whatever!
In terms of mods, when I bought the bike, it came with flushmounts and a bent shifter lever.
So far, I've done:
- replaced shift lever
- HID low beam
- frame sliders
- yoshi trs exhaust
Favorite mod, by far the exhaust. Oh man it makes the bike sound just amazing.
I'm planning to chop the fender when I have some free time.
What else are some popular mods for these bikes?
Bike has 9000km on it right now, still on original cct. It makes rattling noises around 3000 rpm and 5500 rpm. Doesn't sound too bad, but is a little annoying. Is it a good idea to replace the cct? How long does it typically take?

Very nice looking bike Zhu!
Nice mods. I have the same exhaust but in CF...great stuff.
Yep, FE/undertails are popular mods...many options. I have the CompetitionWerkes FE on my split-seat. Its a quality & very structurally sound unit/mod.
Smoked &/or DB windscreens are popular as well.
Yeah, CCTs are a weak point but easily replaced w/ either a new auto factory unit or something manual like the APE unit. Either one you can do at home w/a little attention to detail & if you can turn a wrench.
Welcome aboard. Good to have you w/ us.

Thanks guys! Hasn't been smooth all the way though.
Bought the bike with only 8000kms on it, and it was absolutely mint. Previous owner took really good care of it.
Second week owning it, I dropped it in my garage when my foot slipped on some dirt. I was absolutely devastated. Scratched up the right fairing and broke a mirror. Luckily though, the scratches were all on the sticker. I replaced with new sticker, new mirrors and now have frame sliders
