Hero Honda CBZ Series#CBZ

The bike was launched as Hero Honda CBZ in India. It was Powered by an Original Honda's 156.8cc.The engine was based on Honda CRF 150F and it came equipped with TPFC and self start as optional. The term TPFC Means Transient Power Fuel Control system {{cite web |last1=CarBikeTech |title=TPFC: How Transient Power Fuel Control System Works? Explained |url=https://carbiketech.com/tpfc-transient-power-fuel-control-system/#:~:text=The%20term%20TPFC%20stands%20for,engine%20speed%20without%20any%20jerks. |access-date=22 November 2021 |work=CarBikeTech |agency=CarBikeTech |publisher=CarBikeTech |date=12 May 2017}}.. This system uses a constant-choke carburetor. This Carburetor plays a major role by increasing the speed without any Power lag and Vibration jerks. The throttle valve inside the Carburetor creates the vacuum which operates a diaphragm pump, Which helps to controls the air-fuel ratio inside the engine through a tapered jet. Hero Honda CBZ is first and last bike to get TPFC Technology which gives a reasonable amount of boost by sending additional fuel into the engine when the throttle is opened but it also reduce the fuel efficiency of the motorcycle. The model went unchanged more or less for five years. Hero Honda CBZ was available in the following colors- CANDY BLAZING RED, BLACK, CANDY TAHITIAN BLUE, SIENA GOLD METALLIC, SPARKLING SILVER METALLIC and TASMANIA GREEN METALLIC. Suggested Engine oil grade: SAE 20W 40 and Hero Honda CBZ (1999–2004) complies (BS1) emission norms Bharat stage emission standards.

Transient Power Fuel Control system uses its nozzle inside the carburetor to sprays petrol inside the engine. So, when the rider opens the throttle suddenly. it will give power instantly to rev the engine without any issues, nearly equal to fuel injection concept but it is powered mechanically, whereas Fuel injection is an electronic concept. This increases the throttle response crisps as like fuel injection and the engine feels lively. However, this increases the emission levels and TPFC Accidentally waste's some fuel, Because, the accelerator pump inject some extra amount fuel when the rider applies sudden throttle compensate for lean air-fuel mixture which it generates. Hence, TPFC was consequently discontinued. Later, the fuel injection technology replaced the carburetor, it performs the same mechanism but drastically improves the fuel efficiency, due to correct level of air-fuel mixture performed electronically instead of old Carburetor mechanism.{{cite web |last1=CarBikeTech |title=TPFC: How Transient Power Fuel Control System Works?
