Recently downed the bike, got some questions on the repairs, as I'm doing it myself.

I need a new tank, locks will be different right? It's a 2002 Honda CBR F4i, or are all lock cylinders for bike tanks the same? Key doesn't go all the way in.

When buying plastics online (www.ronayers.com) for example, they come painted and stickered right?

Anybody got a list of good parts sites for Hondas? I've been to ebay, CBRWorld.net, and ronayers.com.

Thanks,
Steve

If you buy an OEM tank, you will need to specify the lock number if the cap is integral to the tank. If the cap assembly is separate, you buy it separately. On my bike, the cap is a separate part. Or you can buy a racing gas cap from someone like Vortex Racing and go keyless.

As to plastics, if you are buying OEM plastics, then yes, they come painted. Hence the price tag.

Cap is seperate, but I've been looking at tanks on ebay, some come with caps, some don't.

You take your cap off the old tank and install it on the new tank.

Yeah, just swap caps if the one on your old tank isn't damaged. It's usually just a handful of allen bolts.

Unfortunely my cap is tweaked. I need to get a new cap. I was wondering if locks were universal from F4i tank to F4i tank, or if my actual key was the only key that couple pop it (like the ignition)?

Must bikes use the ignition key to pop open the tank, so you'll have to get one made to use your key, or buy a new cap and make sure the key comes with it.

Since the tank and lock are integral (also the tank key is the ignition key), if you purchase tank and lock separately, you'll need to ensure a key comes with it. Same if you purchase a tank with a lock on it already. Just make sure there's a key, or take the lock out and get a key made at a locksmith.
In case you don't have a repair manual, here's a link:

Good luck!
