Hi All, I am picking up a 2004 Factory Repsol Fireblade next week, I have not had one before, previously I had a blackbird. I am looking for advice on what I should think about changing/upgrading on this, It is Bog standard apart from the end can. Being on the heavier end of the scale I was thinking about the suspension. Also is there a firebalde specialist website you recommend for bits and pieces Thanks Nic
Welcome Nic, personally I think the best and cheapest mod is taking the pillion pegs off assuming your taking passengers
Welcome. Bike looks lovely. I always wanted a Repsol bike Try wemoto.com for parts. I've recently come across them. Before modifying it.. perhaps focus on service items. Brakes, tyres, chain and sprockets, suspension service. All these items will make the bike feel fresh again.
Welcome to the forum! The bike looks beautiful! To be honest I'd ride it for a little bit first, get used to it and go from there but as mentioned, maybe service items to start with.
Fire blade is more efficient choice as its top listed fastest motorcycle. You don't need to modify it more as its heavy weighted so first have bit training of riding it. You can find its parts and accessories from any online motorcycle brand. Even aftermarket parts are available too.
Congrats for your new toy, must follow some cautious steps to stay away from any trouble, learn its features properly (YouTube tutorials) coz mostly riders panic the situation during riding.
