CBR600 F4i

I just got one about a month ago! I love riding it and would love to know if there are any upgrades I can do to make my bike better. It's my first bike, so my knowledge on them are nil.

So far, the only thing I have done is, a Jardine slip on exhaust. It made it sound amazing, but now I need more power and more stability! Any ideas or mods, I would love to hear.

Also, I need to get rid of that HUGE back fender, man - that's just HUGE!

Full system, steering damper (Ohlins! ), for starters. Enjoy!

edit: Zeeman is on the money regarding suspension. And, welcome to the .org!

Re: CBR600 F4i

Thanks! What brand of suspension should I be shooting for? This bike for now at least, will be used on the road only, road/canyons I should say.

Also, is Brembo brakes available for my bike?

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Re: CBR600 F4i

Probably best to just revalve the standard suspension unless you have a tonne of money you readily need to part with. Ha
600's are hard to make huge gains out of power wise without spending alot of $'s. So if you want power, get a Micron Serpent or Arata full system. Get it mapped with a power commander, and revalve the suspension, put a damper on, and you're sweet.

Re: CBR600 F4i

OK, so far this is what I got...

Brembo Brakes, Scorpio *anti-hijack* version alarm system, Jardine full system, power commander, GPR steering damper.

Within the next two months, a friend of mine builds the Ohlims' rear shocks, and will build one for my weight/height.

Clothing I have a one piece Alpine Stars suit SM-X, I can say that I got lucky and that their smallest size fit me... and have their new Space-Boots-Like boots.

I still wish that they made the stupid Hot-Bodies undertail for my bike, damn next bikes and not having any customizable parts!
