n00b here - 1994 CBR F2

I'm new to this website, although I've been reading for a little while now to learn about the F2 more. 

I bought her two months ago. Clean title and 19k miles. Came with the stock pipe, mirrors, cluster, fairing stay bracket, rear tail section, headlight, fender, etc...but she needed some work:

- Carb cleaning
- Front fork seals
- Tires
- Oil/fluids change
- Clutch/brake levers & bar ends
- Fairings
- Paint
- Battery
- Oil/plugs/fluid change
- Chain and sprocket
- Brake pads

But the price was right so it's all good!

I am also picked up the following parts for cheap :thumbup:

Got her back from the shop last week:

All was well, except we found a fuel leak right here:

Did a little DIY paintjob (no pics of all fairings on the bike yet):

P.S.: I already bought an Alpinestars TZ-1 jacket, Alpinestars S-Moto Octane gloves and a HJC CL-15 helmet. I'll be taking the MSF before I start riding the bike regularly.

My current project for the last 7 years has been a Honda as well (and it's probably quicker than my F2!):

I'm simply hoping to get this thing restored to stock, reliable condition. It should be completely finished this weekend!

Whats that honda? a turbo d series? Once you get your f2 running in tip top condition that honda better be running low 12's high 11's to keep up

ggrahn -> RE: n00b here - 1994 CBR F2 (5/16/2008 10:41:08 AM)

Thats a turbo Bseries civic.  It should be able to run those numbers on the right gas/tune. ;)

dumptruck -> RE: n00b here - 1994 CBR F2 (5/16/2008 3:02:24 PM)

Is that b16 or gsr? looks like my bubbies civic cept he has the stock si wheels on it. fastest car ive ever riden in.

fnananon -> RE: n00b here - 1994 CBR F2 (5/24/2008 6:47:30 AM)

It's a turbo B18C5 motor, out of my buddy's 1998 Integra Type-R. Matching LSD tranny and all...too bad I cracked a sleeve back in September!

I'm throwing together a simple stock LS/VTEC turbo setup with my ITR head & ITR LSD tranny. It should put down around 350whp and run a mid-high 11-second quarter mile on slicks.

Meanwhile, the F2 will remain BONE STOCK (save for the K&N filter and RK Quick Acceleration chain & sprocket). :)

Question: What is the recommended part number for replacement NGK spark plugs? I want whatever's a stock OEM replacement.

Also, how hard is it to get another key? I only have the original one.

elmer -> RE: n00b here - 1994 CBR F2 (5/24/2008 9:32:31 AM)

you can look up the spark plug number at ngksparkplugs.com and click on part-finder in the upper right hand corner.  Or you can just not even bother and I'll tell you, [;)] haha.

CR9EH-9 is the standard plug and CR9EHIX-9 is the iridium plug

I'm thinking the only way to get another key is through the dealership unless you can take it to a place that does key cutting and find the right sized blank, which I don't think is too likely.
With my Honda fourwheeler there is a number stamped into the side of the key.  From what I'm told I could just tell the dealership that stamped number and they could order me a new key because there's only like 8 different keys for the ignition.

She''s almost done! I just need to paint the tank black, flush the coolant and install my frame sliders.

Looks like youve come far man. Congrats! I have the octane gloves and love em!

Heffer2586 -> RE: n00b here - 1994 CBR F2 (6/11/2008 9:40:29 AM)

I bought 2 replacement keys off ebay for like $5 and the brought them to get cut, it sucks only having one key. By the way, Nice work.
