Talking Nooby from Perth WA

Howdy Folks,

I've just joined the forum and can't wait to get involved. I read through the rules & regs and read through a few threads. I think I'm going to really like it here. I joined because I just got myself a new bike. My first bike years ago was a VTR 250 then a couple years ago my friend lent me his F2 which was awesome fun so I've bought my self a CBR. I thought I'd have to go for an F1 or F2 (for financial reasons) but I got mega lucky and scored myself an '01 F4i ! I f***ing LOVE this bike! Can't stop riding it. It needs a little TLC though so I'll be on the look out for helpful info and how-to posts as my mechanical knowledge of bikes is still beginner level. All info is welcomed.

C ya

P.S. Please hurry and ok my membership soon, moderators so I can enjoy all the different parts of the website.

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I'd love to share some pics but how do I upload them? I clicked on the INSERT IMAGE icon but it asked me for a URL.

What do you think, Cab? I scored this little beauty for $3000 (australian)!

She runs great and goes like a rocket but surges a little at low revs when maintaining a constant speed. I reckon she might have sat for a bit while the last owner had her. So, I'm thinking new plugs & leads, a tune up and maybe a fuel line clean out. Hopefully that'll get her purring sweet again.

Hi Finchy , got a cracker there, like you say if its been sat round a while might just need a good run, If I'm not mistaken it's your winter in OZ , so will need to get it ready for the warmer weather, see how it rides up till then
