Valve Clearance Inspection CBR1000RR - DIY Article

FireBladerDk · 08-24-2009, 6:48 PM

After doing Valve Clearance Inspection on my Honda CBF1000A 2007, I have written this DIY article with lots of pictures and text.

As the CBF1000A has a retuned 2005 Fireblade engine this article might be interesting for members on this forum.

I also have a CBR1000RR, 2008 and the Honda Shop Manual for it, and there seems to be allmost no difference between the procedures. Only difference I have found is the nominal exhaust clearance is 0.30 mm on the Fireblade and 0.32 mm on the CBF1000A.

Cheers ... Fred

Hi Sidmarklong, Matty_998cc and Cbr1kfireblade,

I'm pleased you like the article. My 2008 CBR1000RR now has more than 9.000 kms on the clock and I have had it excactly one year now, so it will probably be in 2111 I will do valve clearance inspection on the real blade and write up a new article.
In the meantime, please report any differences you might encounter between your bikes and what is written or pictured in the present article.
I think this kind of DIY articles can help us all to a better understanding of the technical stuf and possibly save us a buck or two.

Cheers .... Fred
