CBR600FX (1999) Service. What Should I Buy?

I use Iridium plugs in the 'Cat as they're such a swine to change (so the extra life is worth it as I can change them annually instead of every six months).

Semi-synthetic oil, changed every 4-6k. I use a "known" brand, but not anything stupidly expensive.

I'd also stick with a standard air filter. Everything I've read suggests a standard filter works better than after market (I know this to be the case for the 'Cat's).

Edit - and the 'Cat is definitely a she, and also has a name (Suzy because of her numberplate!).

How many miles do you do a year? I'm sure iridium plugs are supposed to be rated for 10s of thousands of miles?

No...

A man is an adult human male and a woman is an adult human female.

A motorcycle is not an adult human and therefore neither a man or a woman.

By that reckoning then as a bike/car or whatever is a machine and thus neither male or female whether adult or not...

... this raises the question why you are calling machinery by sexes? :p
 
I don't call any vehicle male for a start. I always refer to them as a she.

The reason being that for as long as vehicles have been made, they have always been called female, be it bikes, cars, planes or boats.
