Well, I figure I'll make a newbie post. I just bought my first bike about a week ago. I've rode before but its the first bike I can call my own . I found this site and figured it might come in handy.

Just a little about the bike... Its a 2000 600 f4 with about 14k miles thats orange and black. I'm assuming that this is a rare color because I have yet to see another one on the road. I paid 4500 for the bike, it might be a tad high but to me knowing how the bike was treated was worth the few extra dollars. The bike is pretty much mint condition, there are no scratches/dents/blemishes on it what so ever. The only mod right now is a two brothers carbon fiber slip on. I plan on putting a integrated tail light and flush mounts up front during the winter. The way the stock ones stick out is just silly. I also plan on going +2-3 teeth on the rear sprocket and a 520 chain when the time comes to get a new one.

I've been riding it around as much as the weather permits but its getting cold out . I'll try to post some pictures up tomorrow.

Yeah the orange/black combo is a little rare, dont see too many of them around.
Are you going +2 frt, -3 rear? If so why?
You'll probably just need a -1 ft/ +2 rr sprocket setup with the 520 chain.

 

OK this might sound stupid to you guys, but what the hell are you guys talking about when you are talking about raising or lowering the sprockets and a 520 chain? lol sorry new to all the tech aspects.....Thanks guys! oh and also what doeas raising or lowering do for the bike?

 

Its pretty much like gearing a car.. If you're into muscle cars... Its like replacing a 3.73 ring/pinion with a 4.10. It makes you accelerate faster but while doing so makes your top speed lower. The 520 chain is a lighter/thinner chain which lets you get a few more ponies from the bike (less turning mass)

But, I was just planning on doing +3 to the rear or -1 on the front I guess would work too. I'm at work but pics will come when I get home!

 

Hello & Welcome!!

 

welcome to the site i was gonna say that didnt make sense in your first post but now it does im gonna do that when my wallet permits lol

 

Welcome to the site. I would recommend going with the -1 upfront instead of the +3 in back. Easier installation and a cheaper price
