Hello everyone,

I have aquired a 1990 CBR600f (last of the f1 models) and it hasnt ran since 2014 (allegedly) that being said the bike has been untaxed since 1998 so i suspect that is the last time it was on the road.

My goal at the moment is just to get the engine running.

I have purchased a new battery, taken the carbs off and cleaned the jets, floats, float bowls, slides and needles.

It has oil in it and it looks clean, i was planning to just chuck some fuel in it and see if it fires but im waiting on float bowl seals and a new ignition barrel as the key was lost. is there anything im forgetting or should do before attempting its first start?

 

Hey there.
If you want a sanity check of sorts, what you've mentioned should be good. Once you've determined if it will fire or not, you will be adding things to your punch list.
