> Just picked up my first bike last Friday. It’s a 1995 cbr 600 f3, nothing special. The fairings are shit which is kind of what I was looking for. Needed a few things, the retard before me took out the idle adjustment completely and misplaced it, a new rectifier and a new brake lever because I dropped it right off the rip in the driveway.

You can DIY a manometer or buy one for around $70.

Good luck with the bike, protect yourself and ride well.
