Book Excerpt: 2000-2003 Honda CBR900RR Fireblade Repair Manual COOLING SYSTEM

GENERAL INFORMATION The cooling system uses a water/anti-freeze coolant to carry away excess heat from the engine and maintain as constant a temperature as possible. The cylinders are surrounded by a water jacket from which the heated coolant is circulated by thermo-syphonic action in conjunction with a water pump, which is driven by the oil pump. The hot coolant passes upwards to the thermostat and through to the radiator. The coolant then flows across the core of the radiator, then to the water pump and back to the engine where the cycle is repeated. A thermostat is fitted in the system to prevent the coolant flowing through the radiator when the engine is cold, therefore accelerating the speed at which the engine reaches normal operating temperature. A dual circuit sensor (containing the temperature gauge sensor and the ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor mounted in the thermostat housing transmits information to the temperature gauge on the instrument panel, and to the ECM (electronic control module). A cooling fan fitted to the back of the radiator aids cooling in extreme conditions by drawing extra air through.

FRAME, SUSPENSION AND FINAL DRIVE

FRAME: INSPECTION AND REPAIR

1. The frame should not require attention unless accident damage has occurred. In most cases, frame replacement is the only satisfactory remedy for such damage. A few frame specialists have the jigs and other equipment necessary for straightening the frame to the required standard of accuracy, but even then there is no simple way of assessing to what extent the frame may have been over stressed.
2. After the machine has accumulated a lot of miles, the frame should be examined closely for signs of cracking or splitting at the welded joints. Loose engine mount bolts can cause ovaling or fracturing of the mounting tabs. Minor damage can often be repaired by welding, depending on the extent and nature of the damage.
3. Remember that a frame which is out of alignment will cause handling problems. If misalignment is suspected as the result of an accident, it will be necessary to strip the machine completely so the frame can be thoroughly checked.
