Default F4i almost back on the road!

Hey everyone

2001 CBR 600 F4i owner here. Long time lurker here starting to have some issue with my bike. Not going to jump the gun and start a help thread as there are many fellow riders here that have had similar issues as I. Just thought I'd say hi as I actually have a voice here now!

Purchased her in real rough shape...



*Update* March 2014 she's almost ready!

Hey Tamahda,

I moved your video and question into the main F4i section

See https://cbrforum.com/forum/f4i-main-...roblem-149581/

You're much more likely to get a response from the dedicated F4i guys.

Cheers, SB

thanks for the warm welcome everyone! With your help I have already fixed two issues! (mechanical) Purchased a 2001 CBR600 F4i that was dropped, abused and neglected. Have since given her a complete fluid and plug change and fixed most if not all mechanical issues (that I know of). Currently in the process of replacing and repairing all cosmetic damages. will post pictures of my process.

Any color ideas? I'm thinking of a clean white with minimal decals. Shoot me some suggestions!
