Honestly, although the fire blade is a great ridiculously fast bike, you'll probably appreciate the 07+ cbr600rr more, really more suited for the streets, it has a gas gauge and has way more power than need. I've been riding mine for almost a year and the power still gives me an adrenalin rush. You will not wish for more power...

If u flushed it out 2-3 times don't worry about getting every single drop of distilled water out. When it stops dripping, then plug it up and put your coolant in. MAKE SURE U PUT THE SEALING WASHER BACK ON WHEN YOU PUT THE PLUG BACK ON!!!! If you don't you will have leaks for sure.

The service manual defines the antifreeze drain procedure as follows: -Remove the water pump bolt ... drain the coolant -Remove cylinder drain bolt ... drain the coolant from the cylinder. In your instructions skipped antifreeze drianing from the cylinder block. But you flush the system with water. Fine. But because of the remaining water in the system, as I see it, you do NOT get a 50/50 mixture of glycol and water. In warm climates, this is normal, but if wintering in my country takes place at temperatures below -35/-31 Celsius/Fahrenheit, then the mix ratio may be important.
@CycleCruza11 жыл бұрын
You leave the radiator cap off so you can bleed the air out of the system as shown , It should not spew out, if it did it might be because it was removing the air out of the system. idk You might want to take it to a professional mechanic if you are having any problems. All I did was go by the Official Honda/s service manual's instructions.Disclaimer: Btw, this video was for entertainment purposes only.

WOW the RR really is an amazingly easy to drive machine, and it pulls reasonably well too. But you dont have to handle the corners correctly, well, by no means like on a 750. I always have to look out for highsiders or the rear stepping away, my mate doesnt even bother anymore. He just jams the throttle open EVERY corner. The 600RR doesnt have the punch to highside...

hello, sorry, today on my cbr600rr I followed your guide to change the coolant but I could not put no more than two liters. So I looked at the workshop manual and it is explained that to drain the old liquid, as well as remove the screw near the pump, the water drain screw of the cylinders must also be removed. This is because I believe I have not completely removed the liquid because I have not been able to put more than 2 liters of it despite having run the engine for almost 10 minutes.

Freakin' dealer hit me up for $3.89 for that tiny copper washer. Should have been a whole bag of them for that price. I'm going to check the local hardware stores and match up the size (6.3mm) so they won't screw me over next time. It's just a copper washer for crying out loud. BMW even includes them with their oil filters since you need it for their drain plug. In a perfect world Honda would include one with every bottle of antifreeze.
@DIOSpeedDemon5 жыл бұрын
You really don't need a new copper washer on a drain plug or brake fitting unless damaged. The soft copper washer molds to the engine and bolt side, providing an air tight seal. Now copper head gaskets DO need to be replaced new every time, not these little washers. Tip of the day. RH DSD

Honda PRO HP coolant doesn't require water, use straight out of the bottle. The distilled water is to flush the radiator and reservoir, not to mix with the coolant. I try to stick with OEM Honda everything except the oil, which I prefer Shell Rotella T-6 5w-40 Full synth.

CycleCruza What's up CC, The premixed coolant is water based. Waterless coolant is not and it gives your engine the maximum protection against damage. Plus, if you use this product, you will never have to do a coolant change again. Look up Evans Waterless Coolant on the net and the Tube.
