Thanks man amazing what £1200 buys you in the bike world. I enjoy looking at it as much as riding it at the minute.

That’s a cbr600rr, seat is like that on them from factory, try searching rr seats instead.

Nice bike, I had a 2008 hannspree for my first bike and loved it! Enjoy!

It’s not a cbr600 rr it’s a cbr600 fs2 or f sport.

It’s the normal cbr 600 with a twin seat

Is the engine kill / stop switch in the correct position?

Yea first thing I checked and made sure it was in neutral. I also took the bike off the stand just in case that had an impact

Not sure on yours but one of my bikes is a mk1 blade so has separate seats like yours. My front seat is removed by undoing 2 10mm bolts that you access by pushing the back edge of the front seat panel forward to get at (squishing the seat foam). You can then see the tops of the bolts and get them out with a socked on an extension.

maybe yours is similar?


ETA, how's that for a guess...

Definitely sounds like battery is too low to me, had the same issue on a few of my bikes with that clicking sound and was always battery needed charged up.

I didn’t realize the F Sport bikes had seats like that, thought it was just the RR.

Managed to get the seat of battery is reading at 11.74 so need a new one. Any decent places to buy one?

Charge the battery or bump/jump the bike.

You need to see what the voltage is with the bike running.

By the way the clicking is the starter solenoid working.

I tried to jump the bike and this happened, no idea what to do now I think I need to get someone who knows what they're doing - https://vimeo.com/370120326

Managed to get it started by jumping the battery. Need to invest in a new battery any suggestions on the best place to buy?

Spend 30 quid on a oxford optimiser it has a plug you wire to the batt and can keep easy access under passenger seat. This clips into a pack you leave plugged in it measures the batt and only charges when needed.

I had one on my cbr600 f sport, my bat was reading 9 once I used that I never had an issue again.

Cheers I’m going to order one tomorrow along with a padock stand and some cleaning materials. Anything else you’d suggest investing in while I’m at it?
