    Changing tires

    suggest using a commercially available liquid tire lube, amazing stuff, enables much less effort required. I've actually mounted certain tires by hand (yes, you read that correctly) Google it.

    All 650's Whats wrong with my 650?

    going into my 6th season in '24.....original AGM battery, zero issues, starts, runs, accelerates perfectly. This Honda is a total winner, amazing lack of maintenance requirements with just 8900 miles (as I own 2 other street legal Ducati's)

    All 650's What did you do with your 650 today?

    still on the original battery on my '19 though it spends winters indoors in my basement (charged monthly while in storage) (Current mileage 8700)

    What will you upgrade to?

    frankly, at near 72 years old, my bike purchasing/replacing days are long over. 3 registered, insured and legal runners currently in my possesion are more than enough to keep my attention.

    All 650's my ONE and ONLY "mod"

    I like the 3 color changes signaling degrading voltage drops. Or, for example....showing (highly unlikely) gradual lower output from the FH027 Shindengen regulator on the Honda. In the case of a broken wire connection....an immediate flashing red. In anything other than normal green.....HEAD...

    All 650's my ONE and ONLY "mod"

    WHY? Its visually minimal....all you see is a small LED (which displays certain colors based on charging system voltage) thus no need to "crunch numbers" while riding. Absolutely based on my personal preference. Voltage Table • Flashing Green Above - 15.2V • Steady Green 12.9V - 15.1V •...

    All 650's Whats wrong with my 650?

    near 2 years onward, now at 7600 miles.... I can report the same applies.....its impeccably reliable. I'm also amazed at the lack of maintenance required (beyond normal daily chain/tire pressure/oil check/change type stuff) Kudos to Honda on designing/building an excellent machine, front to...
