97 exex Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I'll give the info that i have and see if there is anything i'm failing to take into consideration here. "1994 Honda CBR 600 F2 Doesnt run. Last ran in 2000 hasnt been started since. There werent any problems with it when it was parked. Its sat for 7 years." "It was stored outside under a tarp for about 6 years. I recently took ownership of it and have kept it in my barn for the last 2-3 months. It has been laid down but in really good shape- 25K miles" This is the info I have so far. It may be a player deal on a beater bike, but if i'm gonna need to put too much into it, it may not be worth it to me. Planning on going and seeing it this weekend. Expecting to have to rebuild the carbs (does it have 2 or 4 carbs?), check the tank, plugs (plug wires?), battery, and maybe tires/seat. Am I forgetting anything? Has anyone else undertaken a similar rebuild? Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Worst case-percentage of probability (that I just made up) Tank is rusted through-10% Petcock is plugged with gunk-20% Tank has interior rust-30% Carbs are gummed up-75% Seat is gnawed to shit-50% Small furry animal nests throughout-65% Needs plugs or wires-5% Battery is trashed-100% Tires hold air-50% Tires need replaced-100% Brake hydraulics need freshening-80% Brakes are locked-20% It'll take a lot of work-25% Its a Honda! There's no reason for mechanical or electrical to break down unless wires have been chewed. Biggest concern is the fuel system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
