Improving handling for track use

Want your Honda CBR 600 RR to respond more sharply and feel more agile on the track? Here are a few simple upgrades you can make:

• Lightweight wheels: Less rotating mass means quicker turn-in and more control in tight corners.


• Adjustable race suspension: Tune damping and preload to match your riding style and track conditions.


• Steering damper: Increases high-speed stability and helps prevent headshake on the straights.


• Brake upgrades: Choose braided steel brake lines and sport brake pads for maximum braking control.


• Modified fairings: Improve aerodynamics and reduce drag with track-oriented bodywork.

At Motorparts-online.com, you’ll find quality-checked components ready to upgrade your CBR 600 RR.

Brake components and levers

Do your brakes feel vague, especially under hard braking? On the Honda CBR 600 RR, this is often caused by aging rubber brake lines or levers that aren’t suited to your riding style.

Replacing them with stainless steel brake lines gives you a firmer and more predictable brake feel — especially noticeable when riding or on the track. Adjustable brake and clutch levers are easy to install yourself and improve both control and reach, particularly useful for riders with smaller hands or frequent braking.

Most riders can replace these parts themselves with basic tools and some technical knowledge. Just make sure to set them up correctly and properly bleed the brake system afterward.

Tip: Bleeding the brake system on the Honda CBR 600 RR

Have you replaced your brake lines or levers? Then bleeding the system is a step you definitely shouldn't skip. If there’s air in the lines, braking will feel spongy and lack power — not ideal, especially on a bike like the Honda CBR 600 RR.

Use a simple hose and brake fluid, or a vacuum pump if you have one. Keep flushing until only bubble-free fluid flows. Then test the lever for proper response — it shouldn’t feel too loose or too tight. Take your time and you'll stop with confidence again.

Solving overheating issues on the Honda CBR 600 RR

Do you see your temperature gauge rising on hot days or in traffic? Overheating is a common issue with the Honda CBR 600 RR, especially in slow-moving traffic or under heavy use. You can’t prevent it entirely, but there’s a lot you can do.

Start by replacing your standard coolant with a high-performance alternative that offers a higher boiling point and better anti-corrosion properties.

Also, keep your radiator clean. Bugs, dust, and grime block airflow. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the fins. Never use a pressure washer — the fins bend easily. A quick rinse with a garden hose works just fine.

You might also consider upgrading your cooling fan to a more powerful model or a dual-fan setup. This keeps air circulating, even when stopped at traffic lights or cooling down after a track session.

What to look out for when buying used Honda parts

Used parts can be a smart and budget-friendly choice, but with a model like the Honda CBR 600 RR, it's especially important to be cautious. This sporty bike has gone through several generations, and parts aren’t always interchangeable with other Honda models. With these tips, you can be sure you're choosing the right part:

• Filter by the correct model year: The CBR 600 RR has changed a lot over time. Using the model year filter helps avoid buying incompatible parts.


• Check wear-sensitive items like brake components, chain sets, or fairings. Make sure they’re in acceptable condition.


• Verify the OEM number: The original part number helps ensure you're buying the exact match.


• Review the photos carefully from multiple angles.

Old vs. new Honda CBR 600 RR models

Not all CBR 600 RR models are the same — and that becomes obvious when you're shopping for parts. Between the first 2003 model and later versions (such as 2007 or 2013), many changes were made, both technically and visually.

Fairings, subframes, and dashboard units are often specific to a given model year. Even brake calipers, front forks, and various sensors or wiring harnesses can differ. Always double-check your bike’s production year and type code. In doubt? Check the frame number or contact us — we’ll guide you directly.

Choosing the wrong part wastes time and causes frustration. Better to get it right the first time.

Frequently asked questions about Honda CBR 600 RR parts

Can I change the engine coolant on my Honda CBR 600 RR myself?

Yes, you can — as long as you have some technical understanding. Make sure the engine is fully cooled, use the correct coolant for the Honda CBR 600 RR, and follow the steps in the service manual. Don’t forget to properly bleed the system afterward.

What are the signs that my CBR 600 RR chain needs replacement?

Look for excessive slack, rust, stiffness, or uneven wear. If the chain can no longer be properly tensioned or makes noise while riding, it’s time to replace it. A worn chain can affect both performance and safety.

How is the Honda CBR 600 RR different from the 1987 CBR 600 F?

The CBR 600 RR is sportier, lighter, and focused on track use, whereas the CBR 600 F was designed as an all-rounder. The RR has a stiffer frame, sharper geometry, and more modern technology — perfect for riders looking to get the most out of their machine.

Are parts from a 2005 CBR 600 RR compatible with later models?

Sometimes, but not always. For example, fairings, dashboards, and subframes from a 2005 model differ from those on a 2010. Always use the model year as your starting point or use our filtering tools. At Motorparts-online, parts are matched to specific models to help you avoid errors.
