Default Got my CBR 600 F3.

Finally got it. I'll post pics later when i will get my camera from the repair shop.
Few question i wanted to ask. I have the manual from it, but it's in french. Are there any links to the bikes manuals, can someone help me out on that.
Another question is what should be my freeplay on the clutch lever be? How many mm/cm?
What type of coolant/oil do i use in the bike?
It's a 1997 CBR600 F3.
Thanks.

Congrats!! F3s ROCK.

I have the service manual and owner's manual on .pdf. In English. I'll send 'em to ya (snail mail, on CDs), just PM me your address.

Coolant should be 50/50. Unless you switch out to Water Wetter or some equivalent.

Oil should be 10w40.

I don't remember about freeplay on the clutch.

I paid they guy $CDN 5400. I know i overpaid a bit. But the bike is mint. Well kept and it has 7 752 km all original.
marmaladeboy i found the manual last night on the web. I made a thread with links to bikes manuals. Should the oil be synthetic?

No need to run synthetic (or even semi-synth) oil. Dino is fine. Put the money you'll save by sticking with dino towards gas.
