I was just wondering if anyone here had tested how much force it takes to get the CBR 600 to shift gear. If so would you mind sharing that info and the length of lever arm you used.
Cheers
Dave

On our F4i with a 40mm lever arm, a entire upshift/downshift action took about 110N. It was the same both ways.

Excellent. Thanks for that info

Hello Again
Out of interest, does anyone happen to know the force for the clutch. Shifter is coming on well, but clutch may be a challenge!
Cheers

Put a spring scale on it and pull it....

I will do - seems stupid reinventing the wheel if someone already has the data to hand!

How do you know they didnt fuck the wheel up in the first place??
Ahh well - not much point asking anything on here - I will just go and do it all myself!
To me the point of this board is to ask How and Why, not What. What is merely an artifact of How and Why, and tells you nothing more than that specific situation.
Thats a pretty lame comment. My point being is that you dont learn much by being spoon fed. Think of the classroom as an example, unless you went to a followup tutorial and did example after example, how much of a lecture would be able to regurgitate?Originally posted by Davidimurray:

How would you answer a design judge who asks for an explanation and backup material on how you designed your shifter linkages / cables or your quickshifter system to accommodate the actuation force?
Also, just because someone here claims something to be true doesnt make it so. This forum is rife with missleading garbage.
Not trying to put you down, just trying to wake you up. It would make you a better engineer to either go directly to honda and ask for the information, or test for it yourself
Yes the easy option is always alluring.
