The use of innovative technologies has made it possible to create a motorcycle with outstanding dynamic characteristics. The device quickly found fans among true connoisseurs of sports bikes.

Technical parameters of the model

The model was originally created as a racing car; a powerful engine, a durable frame and effective brakes were designed accordingly. As a result, the Honda CBR600RR easily reaches a top speed of 250 km/h and boasts decent dynamics. The four-cylinder power unit has a good supply of power and torque.

The Honda CBR600RR model is capable of accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in just 3 seconds, leaving its closest competitors far behind. The price for the sporty nature of the bike is the high consumption of AI-95 gasoline. The Honda CBR600RR motorcycle has fuel consumption of up to 19.1 liters per 100 km, which is comparable to that of a good SUV. In cruising mode, consumption drops to 6-7 liters.

According to reviews from owners, the most typical malfunctions of the bike occur in the following cases:

1. Even short-term use of substandard fuel can lead to failure of spark plugs, injectors and the oxygen level sensor in the exhaust.
2. An active driving style causes rapid wear of brake pads and clutch discs.
3. Improper adjustment of the drive chain causes damage to the non-working surfaces of the drive and driven sprockets.

During operation, it is necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the components and assemblies of the device and carry out its maintenance in a timely manner. You can cope with some problems yourself if you find a good maintenance and repair manual for the Honda CBR600RR. In case of serious malfunctions, you cannot do without contacting a motorcycle service center.

Review of the Honda CBR 600 F4 motorcycle

Story

The birth of this legend took place in 1997, when this motorcycle was presented to the public. The revival of the legend was carried out in Japan from outside its borders. This particular class of Honda belongs to the sport tourist. The motorcycle has a four-cylinder engine with a power of 105 horsepower at 12,000 rpm.

General information

The tank capacity is 18 liters, gasoline consumption is 250 to 270 kilometers, at a speed of 110 to 200 km/h. In 1999, there was a second show of this model, but already improved. This 1999 equipment has 110 horsepower at 12,500 rpm. Motorcycle cylinders made of aluminum and silicon graphite composite. At the same time, an individual ignition coil was installed for each spark plug in the cylinder block. Despite the years of this technology, it does not allow any other new model to bypass the 599 cubic horsepower characteristic. The motorcycle develops 260 kilometers per hour.

The transmission on this model is quite soft, but still, as elsewhere, within normal limits. This model is famous for its fact that the transmission and the engine are indestructible. Controlling the motorcycle, whether in the city or outside the city, is very simple; it is easy to move and turn. But there is a disadvantage of the headlight reflector, but this can be treated with xenon. Comfortable fit and soft maneuverability. On this model, when washing, you should make sure that the Hall sensor is not flooded. Front shock absorbers are also appreciated in this model. The front shock absorbers, that is, the feathers, are valued for eternity, but the rear shock absorber has no price because it is soft and has a bunch of adjustments. There is another minus of the chain tensioners; over time, it begins to rattle from 2000 to 5000 rpm. This is cured by replacing it with the latest version with the ending number j23 with two points on the tensioner. It has a pleasant sound that indicates the operation of the engine and the exhaust gases themselves.

Worth considering

Motorcycle maintenance depends on how to take care of your motorcycle: if the chain is inspected monthly, cleaned and lubricated, oil and other consumables are changed, then the CBR will serve you for a long time, and you will not experience the vagaries of this equipment!

According to the manual, wheel inflation is written at 2 and 5 atmospheres, the location of the plastic is beautiful. The plastic provides additional airflow to the engine, which is very good. Also on this technique there are two cables for the gas handle, since the process tends to unravel, 2 were just invented so that it could forcibly return the original position of the gas handle so that it does not get stuck.

After each trip, you naturally come home, park the motorcycles in the garage, on the street, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is not to forget to turn off the muffler, this can be done simply with a simple rag. The exhaust hole is simply plugged, what is this done for? This is done to prevent the engine from gaining moisture, otherwise it will be difficult to start.

Canning

Preserving a motorcycle consists of several parts: re-plug the exhaust holes, fill a full tank of gasoline, so that the tank does not rust, and subsequently rust does not get stuck in the carburetor. After this, turn off the fuel valve. Wash the chain completely and then lubricate it. Remove the battery, cover all hoses with a special coating to prevent them from bursting.

Owner reviews

Ivan, 37 years old

The desire to buy a real sports motorcycle appeared a long time ago, from the moment I first rode on my own in Java. The desire grew stronger after watching a video about piloting a Honda CBR600RR; I liked this model more than others. I purchased the device new at the showroom and used it the very next day. There were a lot of impressions from the first trip; I rode like a breeze through the city and along the highway.

Later, when the initial excitement subsided somewhat, I was able to look at the acquisition more objectively. During operation, it turned out that the car was simply designed for driving in dense city traffic. I find it easy to start from traffic lights and maneuver in traffic. The classic seating position allows you to travel long distances without a passenger.
