What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2001 Honda CBR600F4I, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

A WEEK BEFORE THE INCIDENT THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT A DEALER WHO DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE.

MOTORCYCLE LOST POWER. I DISCONTIUED RIDING AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. DEALER TORE DOWN ENGINE AND SAID THAT A ROD BEARING IN THE FAR RIGHT CYLINDER HAD GONE BAD DOING DAMAGE TO THE ONE CYLINDER. THE SHOP ESTIMATED REPAIRS AT OVER $2000. MY BIKE HAD JUST BROKE 7000 MILES AND WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN MAY OF 01. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO HELP ME AND THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. I CALLED HONDA @ 310-532-9811 I SPOKE WITH DANNY THERE WHO STATED THAT THIS COULD BE TAKEN CAR OF ON A CASE BY CASE ISSUE THREW THERE DEALER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. I COMPLAINED THAT THIS WAS NOT "NORMAL WEAR & TEAR" AND THAT IT WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE. HONDA SAID I NEEDED TO AUTHORIZE FURTHER TEARDOWN OF THE ENGINE TO DETERMINE THE EXACT CAUSE AND THAT I MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE CHARGES. I AUTHORIZED THIS AND I'AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM MY DEALER. THEY HAVE HAD THE ENGINE SINCE 6/3/2003.*AK
