Just bought a honda cbr f4. how do i change the transmission oil?

is the transmission oil and engine oil the same? also i just bought it it has 10,000 miles due to the guy not riding it often so it has sat alot he said. its a 2000 cbr f4. should i clean the carbs? also what else should i do should i change the coolant fluid and flush it. it runs great already no problems just wondering what i should check and change before riding it. also i have noticed the front brakes jump when pressed hard they dont slow the bike smoothly they jump i checked the pads there practically new how can i get them to smooth out? the rear are perfect. any help appreciated thanks.Just bought a honda cbr f4. how do i change the transmission oil?engine oil/ transmission oil... same thing.



could change the coolant.. wont do any harm..



I try %26amp; work on the premise ... If it ain't broke.. Don't fix it..



Brakes jump?? not sure what this means.. but front brakes are REALLY IMPORTANT,, so get them looked at..



BUT.. now to the soap box..



If your asking these questions then I guess your a newbie to bikes... so the 600cc sports bike is not a good learner bike,,, would suggest you are carefull cos it will bite you,, %26amp; it will hurt..Just bought a honda cbr f4. how do i change the transmission oil?Engine and transmission use the the same oil sump. Use 10w-30 or 10w-40 with API SF, SG, SH, SL, or SM. Typically oil type and volume are near, or on the fill plug.



Use a fuel system cleaner like STP or Techron to clean the carbs. Do NOT take the carbs apart, or off the bike unless you are an excellent, experienced and trained M/C mechanic.



If the coolant looks clean, don't replace or flush, just make sure the level is correct.



Jumpy front brakes? How about surging brakes like a warped or bent rotor(s). Pads won't help. Have the rotors checked.



Before riding, check tires and pressure, lube chain and check tension, check brake, clutch and throttle controls for adjustment and smooth action, check lights.
