New for 2001
- New Erion Racing'(TM) Edition Black/White/Red paint scheme.
Engine
- 929cc liquid-cooled incline four-cylinder engine showcases Honda's
innovative powerproducing technologies and pumps out a class-leading
160 blip per liter.
- Sixteen-valve cylinder head features 29mm intake and 24mm exhaust
valves with an 11.3:1 compression ratio for efficient combustion and
high horsepower.
- Narrow, 25-degree included valve angle (13-degree intake/12-degree
exhaust) provides a direct path for the incoming air/fuel charge for
improved engine breathing and increased power. The narrow angle also
helps make the CBR929RR engine compact and light.
- Direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation system ensures high-rpni
durability and allows 16,000-mile valve maintenance intervals.
- Forged steel camshafts are a combined 20-4 ounces lighter than the
conventional cast design and are stronger due to carburizing and tempering.
- High-pressure programmed fuel injection (PGM-Fl) delivers fuel to
the injectors mounted in each 40mm throttle body at 50 psi. Fuel is
delivered through four nozzle tips in each injector, producing a very
fine spray and a highly combustible air/fuel charge for maximun combustion
efficiency and power.
- Auto-enriching system is integrated into PGM-F1 module, eliminating
the need for a manual choke.
- Forged pistons are screen-printed with LUB-Coat finish to minimize
friction between the piston and cylinder.
- RC45-inspired aluminum composite cylinder sleeves are highpressure-formed
from sintered aluminum powder impregnated with ceramic and graphite.
The lightweight composite sleeves provide better wear resistance and
superior heat dissipation compared to conventional sleeves.
- Electronic CPU provides two digital 3-D fuel injection maps for
each cyfinder and one digital 3-D ignition map for cylinder pairs,
creating ideal fuel mixture and spark advance settings for superb
rideability.
- Four transistorized direct-ignition coils integrate the spark plug
cap and high tension lead to produce a high-voltage, longduration
spark for maximum performance at high power output levels.
- Honda's Variable Intake/Exhaust Management System (HVIX) manages
the intake and exhaust charges. An intake valve in tire airbox maintains
a constant-velocity, variable volume flow of cool, fresh air to the
PGM-Fl system. The unique Honda Titanium Exhaust Valve (HTEV)
located in the exhaust collector provides the scavenging and power
benefits of a 180-degree exhaust collector design at 03000 rpm, and
transitions exhaust flow to a 360degree collector design at 3000-7000
rpm, then combines 180-degree and 360degree configurations at engine
speeds above 7000 rpm to maintain maximum power output.
- Round, liquid-cooled aluminum oil cooler is lightweight and efficient.
- Maintenance-free automatic cam-chain tensioner.
- Lightweight curved aluminum radiator keeps engine temperatures in
check for consistent performance and long engine life.
- Bearingless water pump features a highefficiency design.
- Beautiful titanium exhaust header, titanium exhaust valve (HTEV)
and titanium muffler with aluminum housing.
- Nine-plate clutch design is compact and tough, featuring improved
friction plate material.
- Smooth-shifting close-ratio six-speed transmission ratios are carefully
matched to the engine's power band.
- Durable #530 O-ring-sealed drive chain.
- California version utilizes air injection system and three-way exhaust
catalyzer to simultaneously reduce emissions of hydrocarbons (HO),
carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrous oxides (NOx).
Chassis/Suspension
- Lightweight, twin-spar extruded aluminuin frame features a pivotless
swingarm design utilizing a cast aluminum bracket attached to the
swingarm pivots. This combination provides an exceptionally light,
tuned-flex design offering superb road feel and excellent rigidity.
- Tapered and braced box-section swingarm provides exceptional lateral
and torsional rigidity.
- A cast aluminum bracket reaches underneath the swingarm and attaches
to the swingarm pivots, forming a Dshaped swingarm mounting enclosure
that increases the rigidity of the swingarm-toengine mounting.
- 43mm inverted aluminum slider Honda Multi-Action System- (HMAS)
caritridge fork features spring preload, rebound and compression damping
adjustability, and offers precise action and unparalleled rigidity.
- Pro-Link' rear suspension features a high-quality HMAS reservoir
damper integrally cast with the shock body, spring preload, rebound
damping, and compression damping adjustability for superior rear wheel
control.
- Braking system features huge, 330mm front floating discs with four-piston
calipers and a 220mm rear disc with a single-piston caliper for exceptional
stopping power.
- Brake calipers (two front, one rear) feature improved molybdenum/anodic
oxide-coated pistons and teflon-coated rollback seals to enhance braking
feel under repeated hard use.
- Aluminum-alloy super-light hollow-spoke wheels feature race-spec
3.5-17-inch front and 6.0-17-inch rear dimensions.
- Bridgestone BTO 10 and Michelin Pilot radials offer superb grip,
linear steeling characteristics, and exceptional compliance.
Additional Features
- Distinctive bodywork features a sidebyside, three-headlight design,
a narrowprofile fuel tank, and a one-piece tail section.
- Unique bank-angle sensor shuts off fuel supply to PGM-F1 system
if the motorcycle tips over and is unaffected by bumps and vibration
in normal operation.
- High-capacity 475-watt AC generator.
- Triple-headlight design features computer-designed multireflectors,
one centermounted and two laterally placed 55W 117 bulbs, providing
a broad lighting pattern and superb illumination.
- High-tech instrument display includes white-faced electronic tachometer,
LCD readouts for speedometer, coolant temperature, odometer, two tripmeters
and a clock. A low-fuel LCD light is located in the tachometer.
- Lightweight front brake lever has a compact adjuster design and
incorporates the return spring in the master cylinder.
- Key-lockable 6-liter rear cowl storage box is designed to hold most
commonly available U-type and cable locking devices (not included).
- Convenient ignition switch/fork lock for added security.
- Transferable one-year unlimitedmileage limited warranty. Ownership
includes oneyear, complimentary Membership in the Honda Rider's Club
of America. Benefits include discounts, travel benefits, roadside
assistance and much more. For HRCA details, call 1-800-847-HRCA.
