Default Wisconsin Rider

Hello,

I bought my 2002 cbr600f4i last weekend. I am just getting used to riding and looking for as many tips as possible. I am a 19 year old in college and this is my first motorcycle.

Here are some pictures of my bike and gear!










The only additions I am looking to put on the bike at the moment are.

New tail lights (back right signal doesn't work)
Red strip around the tires
new grips
Decal on the back left rear axel frame

Congrats on your new to you bike! Looks nice. You know it has a swingarm swap right?

Glad you found us. Welcome aboard!

Know I don't! Can you tell me what that is?
My friend bought it on craigslist last summer and then sold it to me, I never saw the page so I don't know exactly whats stock/ whats not on it.

Could I bring it to a shop and would they tell me?
thanks!

It appears to be a 600RR swingarm. No worries tho, others here have done the same swap. Search the forum in the F4i section to see others.

it's that silver-colored assembly holding your rear tire. allows you to have a rear suspension.

Welcome and great look bike!

I just bought my first one a couple weeks ago, they really are a blast.

Where in Wisconsin are you? I live in the northeastern most corner of Racine myself.
