2002 Honda CBR600F 0.6L Petrol · ST52 KFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of recurring mechanical neglect and deferred repairs. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 25,749 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding the rear brake disc, fluctuating brake effort, and a damaged front valve stem. The persistence of the pitted rear brake disc, which was flagged in both 2025 and 2026, indicates that the owner is opting to monitor rather than replace components despite clear surface wear. The recorded mileage of 25,749 miles is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging just 1,073 miles per year. However, the data shows inconsistencies in usage patterns, with a significant gap of 3,600 miles between December 2022 and April 2024. This low-use profile often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear. The failure in April 2024 due to tyre tread depth below the legal limit suggests the bike may have sat stationary for long periods, allowing the rubber to age and dry out without use. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and rear wheel assembly. The record shows a weeping fork seal in 2022 which progressed to a misting failure by 2024, suggesting the seals are nearing the end of their functional life. The rear wheel bearing failure for excessive play in April 2024 must also be verified to ensure the subsequent replacement was performed correctly. Additionally, the fluctuation in front brake effort noted in April 2026 suggests potential air in the hydraulic system or a failing master cylinder, which requires professional attention to ensure consistent stopping power.
