I have a F converted to track use.

I see, change the seat in what way? To something similar of the FS? I've had a surf around and couldn't find any examples.. But thank you for your help on a very odd question.

avanti · March 7th, 2009, 9:58 AM

Yeah get a FS or any other seat of ebay, the reason I proposed it is that I got the impression it was much easier to find a F (and they should be cheaper).

DarkReaper · March 7th, 2009, 10:01 AM

To mount the FS seat you also need a new rear subframe.

Jon · March 7th, 2009, 10:04 AM

You're not wrong, an FS is quite difficult to find. I'll look into it. Cheers man.

I haven't really done much in the way of maintenace/care for my bike, so somebody suggested to me I should try out Muc Off for cleaning. Found a bicycle store near me that sells it too, only the actual cleaner though.
What do you guys think?
Also, I guess I should probably get some chain lube to apply after cleaning or driving in the rain, but I am seriously confused as to what I should get. I was thinking to just go with Yamalube, but it's kinda expensive, so I've been wondering about less costly options.

Blind_Io · March 8th, 2009, 9:54 PM

I use Honda Gear Oil for my chain.

In other news, my suit should be here in a few days! Woo!

DarkReaper · March 9th, 2009, 12:45 AM

Does the gear oil have enough adhesion that it doesn't cover your rims and legs with oil while driving?

Blind_Io · March 9th, 2009, 1:11 AM

Just don't over-apply it and it will be fine. I've sometimes put it on too thick and had to clean off my rims, but I've never had it spray onto my legs or anything.

Jon · March 12th, 2009, 3:57 PM

Just bought a 2001 CBR600FS

Get's delivered next week..

avanti · March 12th, 2009, 7:51 PM

congratulations and welcome to the club!

DarkReaper · March 12th, 2009, 9:26 PM

Welcome to the club indeed. I own a silver '02 FS myself.

Some say, that he's a midgit with giantism....AND that he's out to prove the entire Internet wrong...

All we know is, he's not The Stig, but he is The Stig's cousin!

Suits always look dumb when you're standing, they are tailored for the riding position, so on the bike it looks much better.

Crazyjeeper · March 13th, 2009, 6:59 AM

All you need now Blind is a mirrored blue tinted visor.

Redliner · March 16th, 2009, 1:24 AM

I was laughing at what you wrote, not at you. That suit looks great!

tigger · March 16th, 2009, 2:30 AM

You know what the worst thing in the world is? Fresh bird shit on your seat.

Blind_Io · March 16th, 2009, 2:49 AM

I hate that!

I beg to differ. Someone slashing your seat sucks harder, and for some reason people do it (or at least used to) all the time 'round Tokyo.

But birdshit does suck.
