Video

It’s not bad once you’ve been through the process a time or two. Take your time, follow the manual, and you’ll do great!

Not true. If you watch the previous episodes in the series you’ll see that I purchased the bike in non-working order. In this video I am troubleshooting the TPS, APS, and ECM using the onboard diagnostic in an attempt to restore throttle control. Also, you have to remove the tank panels in order to lift the tank to for this procedure. Thanks for watching!

No problem! Good luck with your build! www.ebay.com/itm/186005122800?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gsNFP6D7S-y&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=nm6KKDfXQEu&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I got them from NT Fairings as well.

Thanks! Yes, it was actually removed in part 1 of this video series around the 13min mark.

Mine was easy out and easy in. You could try adding some grease to see if it helps, but you might have bigger issues like you mentioned. Best of luck!

So the metal fuel tank is actually under the plastic fairing that covers the tank on the OEM setup. The nice thing about these CBR's is that you can remove that tank fairing and swap it out with an entirely new fairing set without having to repaint the tank. It's literally just a cover.

@@LifeOfMikeChannel sweet I was also wondering will the rr fairings of the same year work on the f4i. Thanks for the info keep the videos rockin

@@blueridgekicks3962 The f4i has a painted metal tank and different fairing style all around compared to the 600rr's so unfortunately the fairing kits are not compatible. Thanks for watching!

There is a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and an Accelerator Position Sensor (APS). The TPS is located on the right side of the throttle body whereas the APS is located on the left side where the throttle cable connects to the throttle body. The APS measures the throttle “request” from the rider which sends a signal to the ECU which sends a signal to the throttle servo motor (middle of throttle body). The TPS then measures the actual movement of the butterfly valves. The whole throttle system is fly by wire vs the old mechanical/cable only setups. Essentially this bike had an issue internal to the ECU where even tho I was “requesting” throttle, the ECU was not sending the signal to the throttle servo motor. My video shows the acceptable ranges for both the TPS and APS as well as how to test each sensor individually. Cheers!

Thanks so much. Just ordered the parts.

@@treysanders4509 No problem! Happy to help.

I have a terrible habit of restoring bikes and then selling them when they’re all fixed for a new broken project haha. I’d like to start getting more ride footage at the conclusion of my projects for those who are curious as to how the bikes perform. Thanks for watching!

I ordered mine from NT Fairings through their Amazon store. Looking at this exact fairing set in the video, if I was to order them today (03/26/2023) they would arrive to me in FL on 04/05/2023. If you go to the NT Fairing website, they also have an option to search for "Ready Stock" in the US. Some of the kits have to be fabricated then shipped to the US which causes those long lead times. The "Ready Stock" kits have already been fabricated, arrived in the US, and are ready for shipping. Here are some helpful links: NT Fairings Amazon Store: www.amazon.com/stores/NT+FAIRING/page/C2291651-CE06-425E-B942-C102B2B2134E?ref_=ast_bln NT Fairings Ready Stock in US: www.nt-fairing.com/collections/on-sale-items/available-in-usa Hope this helps!

@@LifeOfMikeChannel omg thanks man i really appreciate this. Can i ask you honest opinion is there a difference between quality from say monster fairings or auctmarts or nt ? Iam guessing they are all coming from same place in china just distributed different companies doing the same thing?

@@wolverinebear5357 No worries! I can’t speak to the quality of the other fairing companies as I have not tried their products myself. I came across NT fairings from another CZcamsr who used them on his bikes so I had an idea as to the quality before I decided to order them. I feel like they are probably very similar, but you’ll want to check reviews on the hole alignments, panel gaps, and paint drips. Also, don’t forget to put heat shielding on the fairings around the exhaust areas as most aftermarket fairings have a reputation for melting if you forget to install the heat shield.

Hey bro..excellent video...I watched part 1 and now this one but can't find the episode putting the lowers on 😢..I just picked up a wrecked 06 CBR600F4i for 500 bucks....wanting to order a fairing kit and this video made up my mind who to buy it from...do you possibly have a link for episode 3? Thanks again for an awesome tutorial

I would start by researching if there are any differences between the 05-06 harnesses since they are the same model year. That will broaden your options for used parts. I’d also research what the complete harness should look like/come with. If I was in your shoes, I’d start my search on eBay. No guarantees, but if you buy from a reputable company your chances of finding a complete harness are pretty good. Best of luck!

@@LifeOfMikeChannel thanks man, kinda my line of thinking, just whoever had this b4 me did a number on the harness lol it runs an all but the harness just looks atrocious, still debating if i just get the headlights an fairings an slap it back together an sell it or keep it, if i keep it i gotta cleaner up some just for my sanity lol thanks for documenting your build

@@wolverinebear5357 no worries! It’s a great bike if you decide to keep it for yourself. As you’ve seen, they can take some abuse and still run like a top. Let me know if you have any questions along the way.

You might be able to get the bolt out with a screw extractor. They sell them at your local hardware store for relatively cheap, so I might look at that option first before replacing the swingarm. Good luck!

The master cylinder that came with the bike showed some significant signs of wear so I purchased a cleaner compatible replacement from a different year. Thanks for watching!
