Hello everyone, new rider here in Georgia. I picked up a 2006 cbr 600rr about a month ago...and I LOVE IT!!! For anyone that cares I'll post some pictures of it later.

And yes I am taking the training course, and I have gear that the previous owner thru in with the purchase. I look forward to learning these bikes in and out with your guys help, of course!

The previous owner said that the bike is -1 in the front sprocket and nothing in the rear, can anyone tell me exactly what this means/what it does as far as performance? This is my first bike so I am clueless to all the lingo.

 

hey im new too in GA and all igotta say is that ur first bike is alot safer than my first bike 2006 cbr1000rr

 

Wowsers! Here I am riding this 600 around thinking it is too much for me!

 

they both too much bike for a n00b lol. Welcome to both of you. To answer the sprocket question, -1 on the front sprocket is equivalent to +3 on the rear. It makes the power of the bike more useful down low n reduces top end.

 

Ok cool thanks! So does changing the sprocket make a big difference vs a stock bike?

And yes being a true noob...I wouldn't reccomend a 600 lol This thing is fast! But I didnt want a cruiser...its just not my style

 

I hope the previous owner didnt give you a helmet as well. If I were you, I'd go out and buy a new helmet ASAP. You do not know
the integrity of that helmet, it's just something you don't want to risk.

 

He did throw in a helmet, but I bought I knew one cause it didn't match lol. Great advice though!
