Engine CG

Comrades,
Has any one measured the CG of the CBR600 engine and/or the R6. I would really love to know both of them.

Thanks

Here is a link to diagrams of the CBR600F4i sportbike, one of which has the Cg's of various components. You can do the math to find the engine Cg.

F4 engine cg is 32 mm above the crank centerline and 26 mm behind (this is when the case split is horizontal). Not sure where it is from the top view.

Wouldn't it, logically, be located near the centreline of the engine block....

Probably.

gears weigh a lot more than empty bores. Just try lifting an engine.

It easy to measure, hang the engine from the mounts and get yourself three intersecting planes.

this CAD model has been butchered

cos we added a dry sump, and scavenge pump

but the red square indicates the CG of the original engine (with normal sump, water pump, no pipes, no carbs)

54 kg / 119 lbs

i did it using usual methods, engine at different angles, finding planes

i cant see the f4 being much different
