Hi all,
I have a 2006 cbr600f4i (Europe model).
I'm trying to find the valve clearance for this model. Apparently the US had the same engine for the FS & the F4i models and the European models had some minor changes in the valve springs, spark plugs etc.
Does anyone have the 2001-2006 workshop manual for the European models? Or maybe do you know the valve clearance necessary?
I know on the FS models it is 0.20+-0.03

Thank you very much for the help and ride safe,
Ram Z.

 

The US does not have an FS model. Its only the F4i, which to you euro's is the sport model. All US bikes have the valve clearance printed on a sticker under the seat. I'd imagine they are the same.

 

​​​​​​You're right, and i guess you all have the same valve clearance: 0.2 +-0.03
unfortunately i don't have the valve clearance on mine and the only manual service i managed to get is the US type.

Although I have a 954rr in the Haynes manual there is no difference between US and europe models.
The elektrical scheme is different and the vacuum hoses for tank vent is different too.
Maybe that gives a clue

 

Thank you for the comment Chris, I'll check the valve clearances and update about the differences. My guess it can be 1 of 2 things: it's the same clearance or the European banana seat f4i is like the f4 clearance.

please keep us posted...

 

I get why you would consider it being different seeing as they run different cams. I'm curious as well.

 

I very suprised about the different cam shafts. Since the development of engines is very expensive.
Is that only with the newer models or also with the old ones.
At least the CBR's of 2001-2002-2003 there is no difference in valve clearances.

 

I would be surprised if the clearance spec is different. Cams are different in regards to lift, duration and lobe timing, but clearance with the valve is pretty standard.

 

They didn't develop a new engine, just cams. That's very easy. And the difference is small.
