Increasing Horsepower on a CBR600

[TwoSeven]

There wasnt much difference between an F2 and F3 except different shaped sump and thinner walls between the inlets which stopped them being modded. They also went from 11.6 to 12 odd compression and swapped the carbs over to keihin and added a cheap ram air.

They pretty much got most of their development feedback from Honda UK and they got theirs from the race scene. Its why later models had the mods they did.

Only real improvement on the F3 was adding rebound to the front shocks - which I've not measured up but might actually fit the f2.

the only problem with power is you can't mono off throttle alone (unless you are going up hill!!)

Yes you can!!!

Yes you can!!!

damn I had a feeling I was doing something wrong well not going to try to hard until insurance kicks in

Don't worry...I'm not very good at it but it can be done.

I've had the most luck in 1st gear accelerating to 30ish Km/h, the closing the throttle and then giving it a fist full on the rebound. The trick is having the balls to give it a decent squirt and then holding it there when you get it up.


A shot of bourbon will give you a bit a dutch courage and should help the cause!

Yeh I will give it a shot. I find it fairly easy on a hill (Bolton street for example). It's definatley how hard you want to go.

They do it quite easily (there is a simple trick), but it buggers the valve seats and the front shocks don't quite like the landing.
