Those things don't sound to me like they would cause leakage problems.

If you are stretching to reach the ground when sitting on the seat of a bike, I find it can be difficult getting on the bike with it leant over on the side stand ( I always leave the side stand down until I am on the bike ) because the passenger part of the seat is often quite a bit higher...

All I would say is I can't recall having trouble changing gears on my 2018 cb650f. Is the clutch adjusted properly?

That sounds about right. Don't think getting rid of product regulations in particular was one of the main reasons for leaving the EU though, but I doubt whether the 'deal' we finished up with is what the so called Brexiteers really wanted. I am not sure what has been gained.

All new models will need to comply with relevant current regulations ,whatever they are ! Are UK bikes still governed by EU standards since we left the EU ?

Was interested in the new Honda CMX1100 Rebel and looked on the Honda website and played their sound of the engine which presumably was intended to attract purchasers. All I could hear was a lot of rattling and a tinny sounding exhaust ,not what I would have expected and it wouldn't help...

Thank goodness for that, lower mark minimum, upper mark maximum, straightforward. Not like my BMW 1 series car which doesn't have a dipstick. You have to sit in the car for about 5 minutes and operate some electronic trickery before seeing a display on the dashboard indicating the oil level !

Dipsticks usually have 2 marks, lower and upper. Oil on lower marks means engine is low on oil and could do with topping up; oil on upper mark means engine is full of oil and ok. Or is this something else I don't understand anymore ! :)

How long before that garage is full of stuff again ?! I put in beams and extra joists and boarded out the loft of my single garage for extra storage and now the ground and first floors are nearly full !

Damn, I thought you were wanting to buy them !

Yes ,still available. Regards

I presume 'lowering the front suspension' means dropping the front end down on the forks.

I like the sound of a 'louder than stock' exhaust, but I wouldn't want one that was so loud my ears were ringing for hours after I stopped riding (that to me seems a sign that your hearing is being damaged ) I fitted road legal Fuel exhausts to a Yamaha bulldog that sounded good but not too loud...

:arghh:Not a good idea, you don't want to end up with Tinnitus !

Over keen front brakes on a motorbike are dangerous I think. I had a test ride on an F800 BMW and the front brakes were far too keen. I thought the CB650 brakes were just about right. Component wise I think the cb650 was better generally than my suzuki sv650A. Believe it or not the cb650f seat...

I didn't think the quality was poor on my cb650f ,apart from black exhaust box finish. The brakes were good (keener than my current Suzuki sv650A ) suspension not bad, decent quality parts generally. Depends what you are comparing it with I suppose.

No problem with an Abba stand on the cb650f, easy to fit the stand fixings into the bike frame. Suzuki sv650a is a bit more difficult because you have to remove a plastic panel each side of the bike to fit the stand fixings into the frame.

Seat looks good, What make is the rubber studded pad on top of the tank ?

I obviously completely misunderstood the problem.
