Honda
CRF250R
Revealed! |
| Now
with
fuel
injection |
|
Honda
has
revealed
the
newest
addition
to
their
arsenal
of
reliable
and
performance
driven
motocross
bikes.
The
2010
CRF250R,
now
gets
fuel-injection
as
well
as
a
list
of
other
adjustments,
to
make
an
already
good
MX
bike
even
better. |
New
for
2010
The
new
Honda
is
significantly
updated
from
the
'09.
Some
of
the
more
notable
changes
include
a
longer-stroke
motor,
fuel-injection,
a
single-muffler
exhaust
system,
a
new
frame,
a
new
head,
CRF450R
body
work,
and
larger
Showa
forks,
which
are
now
49mm
instead
of
48mm.
The
rear
shock
now
has
a
KYB-like
"shorty"
reservoir,
similar
to
the
450,
which
is
fitted
with
KYB
suspension
components
front
and
back.
 |
Honda
In
particular
has
emphasized
several
key
points
to
the
new
design
which
are
sure
to
make
a
big
difference.
Batteryless
Fuel
Injection
Other
fuel
injection
systems
are
heavy
compared
with
the
CRF250R's,
which
is
light
and
compact
–
call
it
fuel
injection
done
right.
All-new
Programmed
Fuel
Injection
system
(PGM-FI)
utilizes
a
50mm
throttle
body
with
12-hole
injector
fed
by
lightweight
50-psi
pump
to
ensure
optimum
fuel
atomization
and
precisely
targeted
fuel
charge.
System
also
improves
fuel
consumption.
The
PGM-FI
system
monitors
throttle
position,
intake
air
and
coolant
temperatures
and
|
manifold
pressure
to
accurately
map
fuel
charge
and
ignition
spark,
significantly
improving
partial-throttle
response
and
helping
to
ensure
excellent
rideability.
Another
well
appreciated
adjustment
is
the
enlarged
AC
generator
to
service
the
PGM-FI
system.
Two
crankshaft
position
sensors
quickly
determine
crank
position
to
provide
quick
starts,
hot
or
cold.
New
Unicam
Engine
The
Liquid-cooled
four-valve
Unicam®
249cc
engine
has
been
completely
redesigned
for
improved
power
delivery
from
a
significantly
more
compact
package
that
lowers
the
center
of
gravity
and
enhances
mass
centralization
for
improved
handling.
In
addition
Honda
has
added
a
new
forged
slipper-piston
material
that
permits
a
thinner
crown.
This
Low-friction
surface
treatment
ensures
high-rev
potential.
Chassis/Suspension
•
All-new
HPSD-equipped
Twin-Spar
Aluminum
Frame
with
forged-aluminum
|
|
steering
head.
Spar
height
was
reduced
(70mm
to
66mm)
and
width
was
narrowed
(27mm
to
26mm).
Stronger
down-tubes
improve
front-end
feel.
•
Steering
response
and
overall
handling
were
improved
by
positioning
the
front
wheel
15mm
farther
back
and
closer
to
the
crankshaft.
•
HPSD
features
a
compact
damper
attached
to
the
lower
triple
clamp
and
the
steering
head
to
allow
more
aggressive
steering
characteristics
and
assist
straight-line
handling.
Damping
action
smoothly
progresses
as
handlebar
deflection
increases,
which
produces
very
natural
steering
characteristics
and
feel.
•
Pro-Link
Rear
Suspension
features
exclusive
Showa
integrated
reservoir
with
all-new
damping
and
spring
settings.
These
big
changes
AND
MANY
MORE
not
mentioned
in
this
article
are
sure
to
make
a
big
difference

|
| 2009
CBR600RR
&
CBR1000RR
|
| New
Braking
System |
|
As
you
probably
already
know,
the
new
2009
CBR600RR
and
2009
CBR1000RR
are
now
available
with
combined
ABS
(anti-lock)
brake
system)
But
what
does
ABS
bring
to
the
superbike
world?
|
In
simple
terms,
the
Combined
ABS
Control
system
monitors
the
front
and
rear
brakes,
receiving
input
from
the
brake
master
cylinders
and
speed
sensors
on
both
wheels.
This
information
is
then
sent
to
the
system's
power
units
which
in
turn,
adjust
the
fluid
pressure
and
the
brake
calipers.
Simultaneously,
the
combined
ABS
monitors
wheel
slippage
and
hydraulic
pressure.
In
the
case
that
the
ABS
function
is
needed,
the
power
units
that
apply
braking
force
will
modulate
the
pressure
to
prevent
wheel
lock-up.
More
information
from
the
experts
can
be
seen
on

How
To
Load
Your
Motorcycle |
Be
careful
when
loading
your
bike
for
a
big
trip
By:Motorcycle.com |
|
Motorcycles
can
be
a
great
way
to
commute,
transport
smaller
stuff
from
point
A
to
B,
or
travel,
sight
see
and
tour.
Depending
on
how
much
you
carry,
however,
added
weight
can
affect
wear
and
tear
on
the
whole
bike,
including
suspension,
tires,
drive
train,
and
brakes.
It
can
also
affect
how
well
you
can
brake,
corner,
and
of
course,
accelerate. |
The
more
you
pile
on,
the
more
you
need
to
pay
attention
to
where
you
place
heavier
items,
how
you
attach
them,
and
what
the
added
ballast
placed
in
various
spots
on
your
bike
does
to
handling
and
control."
