Re: Not sure on bike

Go for it! Parts are cheap and you can still find them. There's a 94 on Craigslist in Ohio for $800 right now.

Re: Not sure on bike

once warmed up a little bit as long as that thing screams up to redline with no hesatation when u crack the throttle open for a sec and idles smoothly carbs should be good look out for a little cam chain slap too my bike got this after beatin on it for a while when the bikes idleing or gently revving to 6 or 7 grand listen on the right side of the bike below the tank a lil for a rattleing when u let off or give it gas. this means the auto cam chain tensioner is worn out u can replace that wit manual for like 75 bucks but i like my bike alot and deff good to learn on im about to put more money into it too gettin the cage sprockets and levers soon i wanna see more f3s out there go 4 it

circles were invented on carbed bikes. i dont have video but i was doing circles on my friends old f2 couple years back. they circle just as well if not better than a FI bike cuz theyre super smooth. they only flood out if u tip them over on the side or leave it sitting on the 12 bar too long.

Re: Not sure on bike

im riding a 98 zx6 right now.... i can do circles till i get tired its carbed

i been riding carbed bikes for years... im a poor bitch so i cant afford a FI bike right now... the only time my bike boggs out is when i get on the 12 bar.. but my bar is set way in so its more like 1 oclock

same with stoppies if you get to high it boggs out and when you land you gotta give it some gas for a sec to get it back

but there great to learn on cuz its cheap to fix

Re: Not sure on bike

prettymuch nobody does bar tricks anymore so i dont see any reason why you cant stunt any cbr 600 F series bike. many of the best of em out there have killed **** on f2's and f3's that people cant even do with f4i's. and then theres people overseas who stunt bikes that look like they have no business being stunted.
