Tamiya 14035 - 1/12 Honda CBR400F Kit - CF435  [14035]

• During the last half of 1970's, small motor cycles and scooters became the rage around Japan, as they were found become convenient for travel around the congested urban centers. Many of the owners of these little bikes relocated up to larger cc machines while having become interested in the sport of active competition. One racing event could be the Tourist Trophy course of stamina race, and TT-F3 races are conducted with 250cc two swing and 400cc four stroke machines, as their performance abilities are about equal. In Japan, this class of race is extremely popular as a result of the licensing restrictions in the united kingdom, plus the major bicycle manufacturers are constantly competing because of this market. The Honda CB400F ended up being revealed at Tokyo Motor Show in late 1983 and contains become very popular for the TT-F3 racing activities. Using an original and patented system called "Revolution Modulated Valve Control", this manufacturing bike is preferably fitted to TT race. Utilizing four valves per cylinder, this synchronous four cylinder DOHC engine is designed to work with just two valves per cylinder at lower RPM's, in which all of the street operating occurs, but automatically converts to 4 per cylinder at RPM's above 8200, in which most race is done. Using the motor oil pressure while the force to stimulate the device, a pin is placed into two for the cam lobes per cylinder, activating all four valves on greater RPM's. This system originated to fight two opposing dilemmas. Enough torque at reduced speeds and more power at greater RPM's During competition, a simple mechanical adjustment locks out of the system to ensure that all four valves per cylinder are in procedure anyway RPM's. The motor is installed in a square steel tubing twice cradle framework. Honda's original Pro-Link suspension is employed during the rear and their TRAC system with anti nose dive function at the front end. Braking is through a triple disk system making use of twin piston calipers. The headlamp is mounted to the framework, because of the oil cooler directly below it. Many racing, tune up components are provided the fans and this has stimulated another manufacturers to make machines of a similar concept for TT-F3 racing, as this event continues to grow and mature.
