Hey guys, been perusing the forums for about a week and finally registered. I''ve rode dirt bikes a little bit but finally picked up my first street bike (''97 F3) last week and absolutely love it. Picked it up for 2k, besides the plastics being banged up it''s great. Carbs seem to be set up perfect and frame is straight as an arrow. All it NEEDED when I bought it was the chain tightened and the turn signal switch was messed up (missing pivot pin). Not getting too crazy cuz it''s my first bike but already I can tell this thing flies. The community here seems great, and I''m sure there is alot of good information to be had here.
