My new bike, cbr600

[Marc_Buck]

Hey, just bought myself the bike i will be riding when i pass my test, its a 93 reg cbr600f with 29k on the clocks.

I payed £1200, what you all think?

Had a go up my road, it runs like a dream and tuggued my arms a fair bit too.

Will someone please make this pic suitable for avatar, thanks.

Hi Marc,

Where did you see this advertised? If you got one for £1200 I might add this back to my potential bike list

Gonna need sunglasses for those wheels

BikeTrader.

Its got manual choke and i keep flooding it, i had to sell my nova and buy a corsa because i couldn't fathom it out.

[Whosthedaddy]

Its taken a while to get used to my manual choke (it sucks)

It used to take several attempts to start the damn bike, and then you have flooded the engine, and the bike wont start for ages

You'll get used to it

Nice bike, how's a manual choke difficult to operate?

Pull lever, push starter button. Release choke when bike idles comfortably...my Blade requires the fuel tap to be turned off upon starting as it's got a gravity fed tap (which causes the engine to flood if left on), is the CBR6 the same?

nice bike, i had one for my "first big bike" and p/x'd it around this time last year and i got £1100 for it, so £1200's a bargin!

Should be adjustable to an extend to take the 'quick return' out of the cable. Give it a good lube whilst you're down there just in case.

[Groove]

mmmmmmmm automatic choke

i just have the choke off, press the start button, and slowly wind on the choke until the bike fires, then leave it there for a few seconds while revving, then turn it off whilst keeping the revs up a bit.


but then again its only a moped

[Whosthedaddy]

[craigs23]

WD40 should be okay for cleaning out any built up corrosion/grime. I'd follow the dose with 3 in 1.

nice bike mate, personaly the only thing i hate about the older models is the cover over the frame, to me, it makes it look like lego

just a shame you cant remove them,


Steve.

lovely bike mate, well jealous

[Bullet]

are you giving it loads of throttle aswell... you shouldnt have to give it any atall, just choke and it should go twist the throttle open while trying to start it and it will flood preety quick

oh and whosthedady, your confusing me with all the differant avatars! (although the current one does seem to be a rather lush ass )

Like that bike. Looks like an old School GP racer in these colors.

I think a white rimstripping will look awesome on these wheels.
