Picked up a 96 F3 last week needs some plastic work and paint. Got it pretty cheap because it wasnt running. Cleaned carbs and #2 and #3 plugs weren't connected , Flushed radiator and changed the oil. Runs good now.

 

F3's are tanks. I had one when I lived in the panhandle.

Welcome to the forum. What are your plans for the bike?

 

First thing i plan on doing is stripping all the green paint off and repainting. PO sprayed it on everything, brake lines, water hoses and upper forks. Valve adjustment soon and replacing float bowl screws with hex head since some of them are already striped out. Going to replace brake lines with stainless steal. Need to learn how to weld plastic and get the body work back on.

 

Welcome to CBRF... Glad to hear of the easy revival of the ol' F3...

 

Yes they are. Keep the green and finish it in camo trim, like a tank.
I would anyway...

 

Welcome to the forum and keep us posted on your progress.

 

hi and welcome
congrats on getting the f3 and getting her going, keep us posted on your progress

 

Welcome to the CBR Forum OTT,

As the boys say, keep us posted on your progress with the bike. It motivates us to get out tin the shed.

Cheers, SB

 

Where in Florida are ya? Im in Palm Beach County!

 

You have courage - and hopefully an unlimited font of money. It's hard owning a sportbike after a goofball with bad judgement owned it. I hope you're experienced in repairs as it sounds like this bike's going to need a lot of attention.

How much did you pay, and where are the pics?
