Default noob from Chi-town, IL

Hello all, my name is Vasqo. Recently became an owner of a 02 600F4i with 12K. I am 100% new to the riding sceene and looking for tips and suggestions. Turning 26 soon and with tall frame 6'4" - 245 lbs. The CBR fits me ok, but i have to say that if try to lay down, I am not able to tuck in my elbows. Do any of the larger riders have any suggestions as far as maybe extending the bike or maybe moving the shifter assembly....? THanks in advance!

Hello and welcome to the forum. Post pics of the F4 when you have time. Not much you can do for extending the bike. You can buy new rear sets (foot pegs) that will allow you to adjust them. Maybe down and back a little to give you more room.
