Hi their all, have just bought my first CBR 600, its the F model on a Y plate, it's the dual seat and on the side it says pgm f1, not sure if its an f, an f1 or an f4, can anyone help; if not no worries as it's effing fantastic, why does anyone need anything quicker? scares the s**t out of me.

what year is the bike? and when you bought it what did the vin number check out as?

 

Not sure about vin no??? but the year is 2001, cheers.

 

It is either an F4 or and F4i. Differnece is F4 is carbed and F4i is fuel injected

 

It is an F4i fuel injected... The pgm-Fi is the programmable fuel injector. This bike also has an electronic digital ignition used to maximize power output and throttle response. Ya I bet that scares the sh*t out of ya!! LOL Enjoy it! In light the pgm-Fi replaces the choke....

 

Appreciate that, thanks, really was confused over this as the reg doc just says its an F, the warranty and service booklet says it's a cbr600f i/1 (?) E.

just curious whilst on, would you reccomend a power commander? not too bothered about performance just economy. ta.

 

you don't need the power commander unless you put a new exhaust on it. If you have the stock pipe, you are fine.

 

The guy I bought it had just put a brand new scorpion with removable baffle end can on, which presumably improved something, not sure what, sounds great though.

does it run OK? If it does you won't need a power commander. If it runs rough at certain rpm's or boggs down etc, you might need a power commander with a good map to get rid of problems.

 

just realised you in america, have just come back from englands premier bike show at the birmingham NEC, wanted to buy a Haynes workshop manual and was some confusion over manuals as theirs two; was informed in the US my bike would be and F4, in the uk its an F1 as it was produced in 2001, an F2 is 2002 etc, thanks for your help. steve.
