2010 CBF600 easy to work on

[flyingcbf]

Hi Guys,
I've not had this bike long but thinking of doing most maintenance myself. Is this bike easy to work?
For example, I need to check to valve clearance every now and then. Is this easy to do on this 2010 model?

I'd go with a firm no on the basis it is a compact Japanese sports bike and as such everything will be tricky to get at and fiddly due to being crammed into a small space. No sports bikes are easy to work on.

Clearances will likely mean taking off the tank, radiator and probably ht coils just to get the leads off. Plus various air channeling and water dispersing bits.

Then once you have the valve cover you can finally get at the gaps.

Then when you find they are out of spec you'll have to pull the cams, buckets and finally the shims aand then reverse the above once you have replacements.

I've done it outside my house but its definitely not the job for a novice.

Ok, thanks.
Guess I'll leave it since it's running OK for now. Probably sell it next year and get a bike that's easy to work on.

If the job needs doing but you're not comfortable doing it yourself, take it to a shop. Cheaper than changing bikes.
