New for 2001
- The 2001 CBR600F4i produces 5 percent more peak power at 12,500
rpm and tips the scale at 373 pounds dry-the lightest, most Powerful
600 Supersport Honda has ever made.
- Honda's latest programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) and electronic
digital ignition maximize power output and offer immediate throttle
response.
- High-pressure programmed fuel injection (PGM -F1) delivers fuel
to four injectors, each mounted in a 38mm throttle body, at 50 psi.
Fuel is delivered through four nozzle tips in each injector, producing
a highly cumbustible air/fuel charge for maximum combustion efficiency
and power.
- A precise throttle sensor and sophisticated fuel injection mapping
combine to produce smooth ang inegar throttle response, responding
easily to fine throttle adjustments.
- Auto-enriching system is integrated into PGM-FI module, eliminating
the need for a manual choke.
- Total volume of the ram air ducts and air box are increased 15 percent
- 2 liters for improved air flow at high-rpm operation.
- Exhaust header pipe length and internal muffler bafffing are redesigned
for improved high-rpm output while maintaining the F4's impressive
midrange power.
- Muffler canister is angled upward an additional 5 percent for improved
cornering clearance.
- California version utilizes air injection system and a three-way
exhaust catalyzer to meet California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2004
Tier I emissions standard, reducing emissions of hydrocarbons (HQ,
carbon monoxide (C0), and nitrous oxides (NOx)-yet produces the same
power as the 49-state model.
- Redesigned shift lever assembly improves shifting feel.
- Rear sprocket changed from 45-tooth to 46-tooth design for improved
acceleration in all gears.
- Chassis improvements increase lateral frame rigidity 7.4 percent
and torsional frame rigidity 10.9 percent for enhanced road feel and
even better handling. Additional casting ribs are added to the Pro
Frame" headpipe and frame side plates - center and rear engine hangers
and collars are strengthened to minimize engine-in frame flex; swingarm
mounting shaft and collars are strengthened and Supported by needle
bearings; strengthened lower rear shock bracket assures minimal shock
shaft flex and smooth operation.
- Twin front calipers feature four pistons each; pistons have a molybdenum/anodic
oxide coating and teflon-coated rollback seals to enhance braking
feel under repeated hard use.
- CBR929RR-style aluminum-alloy hollowspoke wheels feature race-spec
3.5-17inch front and 5.5-17-inch rear dimensions. Fuel tank capacity
increased to 4.8 gallons, including 0.9-gal reserve.
- All-new bodywork features aggressive dual headlight design and black
anodized frame and swingarm.
- New dual headlight design features computer-designed multi-reflectors
with one left-side-mounted 55-watt 117 low beam and one right-side-mounted
55-watt H7 high beam; the asymmetrical low-beam mode is complemented
by the operation of both lights in high-beam mode for superb lighting
in nighttime riding conditions.
- New instrument display features analog tachometer with white numerals
and needle indicator on a black face design; LCD digital displays
for speedometer, odometer, A/B tripmeter fuel reserve clock, and coolant
temperature; warning lights for coolant temperature, oil temperature,
fuel injection and over-rev; indicator lights for low/high beam, turn
indicator, and neutral.
- New lightweight aluminum upper cowl stay also serves as mounting
bracket for mirrors and instrument housing.
- All-new two-tone Metallic Silver/Black, Red/Black and Pearl White/Red
paint schemes feature the Honda racing wing logo.
Engine
- High-output, liquid-cooled DOHC 16valve four-stroke engine features
oversquare bore and stroke of 67mm x 42.5mm with a straight intake
tract contributing to superb power throughout tile in range.
- Inclined cylinder-head cover mating surface permits higher placement
of the intake camshaft for a straight intake tract providing excellent
engine efficiency and power,
- RC45-inspired aluminum composite cylinder sleeves are high-pressure
formed from sintered aluminum powder impregnated with ceramic and
graphite. The fightweight composite sleeves provide better wear resistance
and superior heat dissipation than conventional sleeves.
- Aluminum alloy pistons feature LUB-Coat solid lubricant to minimize
friction between the piston and cylinder wall.
- Ram-air provides a high volume of cool air to the airbox utilizing
a two-stage system that precisely balances air pressure within the
carburetor float and vacuum chambers with the air flowing through
their bores, providing sharp throttle response, linear power delivery
and incredible performance at speeds.
- Four transistorized direct-ignition coils integrate spark plug cap
and high tension lead to produce a high-voltage, long-duration spark,
providing maximum performance at high engine output levels.
- Electronic ignition CPU provides digital 3-D mapping for cylinder
pairs, creating ideal spark advance settings for all riding conditions.
- Four-into-two-into-one exhaust system feeds single high-output polished
stainless steel muffler for maximum power and efficiency.
- Direct, shim-under-bucket valve actuation ensures high-rpm performance
and durability and offers 1000-mile maintenance intervals.
- Mechanical automatic cam-chain tensioner provides quiet, reliable
service.
- Seven-plate clutch utilizes a tough lining material to maintain
performance and durability.
- Engine cooling system features a series flow pattern that reduces
piston crown and sparkplug seat temperatures, resulting in increased
power.
- Bearingless water pump is lightweight and features high-efficiency
design.
- High-capacity liquid-cooled oil cooler contributes to lightweight
engine design.
- Clutch cover integrates pulser cover and is fighter than traditional
design.
- Smooth-shifting close-ratio six-speed transmission features ratios
carefully matched to engine's power band.
Chassis/Suspension
- Pro Frame" design consists of an aluminum twin-spar frame and extruded
aluminum swingarm. The Pro Frame design locates the Lightweight extruded
aluminum box-section swingarm via a combined pivot in both the frame
and the rear of the engine, producing superb handling and stability
with excellent control.
- Light-weight aluminum, detachable rear subframe section.
- Rigid, 43mm HMAS front fork offers rebound, compression damping
and spring preload adjustabihty.
- 40mm HMAS rear shock assembly utilizes Pro-Link(R) design with external
reservoir for plush feel and excellent, well-controlled damping for
all types of riding.
- Sintered brake pads and 296mm floating front discs provide the ultimate
stopping power.
- Hydraulic rear disc brake features single piston caliper and 220mm
disc.
- 120/70ZR-17 Z-rated front tire and 180/55ZR-17 Z-rated rear tire
