NeonspeedRT -> It's alive........ (11/1/2004 12:56:40 PM)

Well I got my 98 CBR600F3 running this past weekend. I spent about 4 hours putting a new fuel pump on her and cleaning the spark plugs. The bike had been sitting for the past several months due to the prior owner not caring about it. I got it and it was obvious that the fuel pump was bad. I went to our local bike scrap yard and picked up a fuel pump off a F4 that worked perfectly. I replaced that and realized the plugs were fouled out. I cleaned them off and got them looking like new again. She fired right up. I need to do an oil change and put some fresh gas in her asap before I let her run for any period of time, but she is running.
I was going to turn it into a track bike, but I might wait awile for that. My girlfriend really wants to learn to ride. She is taking her msf class in the next few months. So I figure i'll let her use this for a starter bike so she can ride with us when we go out, once she has some experience. The bike is perfect for it. The guy I got it from wanted to be a stunter, so he bought extra plastics and furred it out. The fur is crazy. The bike was the desert storm paint scheme (maroon, tan, & black). He did the fur in matching colors to the paint scheme. He put a kawasaki zx-6r front end on it with some high intensity driving lights for headlights and a different tank. It also has some good frame sliders. So it's ready to be stunted, or in this case for my girlfriend as a new rider. I still have all the factory plastics and headlight safely stored, so when she gets some good skills and experience, I can make turn it back to stock.
Hopefully I can do the oil change this weekend and get some fresh gas for the 600. Once I do that, i'm going to try and take her for a nice ride. She has been neglected the past few months. [:D]
