Hello everyone!
A newbie here. Riding 2005 CBR600F (F4i/F5).

Just noticed a hole below exhaust right port, near the front-right engine hanger bolt. It has a thread. So I'm worried some bolt is missing.

Can anyone help please and explain what that hole is for?

And some introduction photo - more fun and less worries about missing bolts

 

I don't know the answer but it appears by the dirt on it that it has not been there in a long time.

I'll try and remember to check mine.

 

You aren't missing anything. I'd guess for a center stand thats optional and standard in Europe on non sport models [they made two models of F4i in europe]

 

Mine is also empty.

 

Thanks for replies.
Center stand is mounted at the rear side of engine where the shock link lower bracket is. So it's not linked to engine front.
A friend confirmed he has same hole. In his case the hole is filled with dirt and not noticable much. In my case hole and thread on it looks fresh and clean, which confuses. Scott91370 confirmed having empty hole as well.
So far it appears to be ok having it.

 

You could just put a bolt in it. That way you have an extra if you need one.

 

Charcoal canister mount for California models?

 

Yeah that may be it. Thanks!
