Just leave it alone or fit a proper aftermarket exhaust system that suits you better.

As far as the coolant level goes, I had trouble seeing the actual level on my CB650F and asked the dealer to check it when I was at their shop one day. Even the mechanic had trouble seeing the level in the reservoir. Not the easiest thing to see.

Operating fluids make a difference on every motorcycle ! As far as the buyer is concerned the bike should be repaired (preferably replaced ) by the dealer under warranty, but yes, the dealer probably won't be able to claim from Honda ,because the PDI wasn't carried out properly by the dealer.

Dealer should check at pre delivery inspection. Dealer should collect your bike and repair or replace the bike under manufacturer's warranty.

Yes ,don't rev it so high ,never used to take myCB650F anywhere near 10,800 rpm !

I had Oxford heated grips fitted to Honda CBF1000FA and CB650F and they were good. Honda dealer actually recommended Oxford over the Honda grips.

3300 miles is nothing !

Short front mudguards are the problem. A fender extender helps but even then the mudguard is hardly long enough because they are too short to start with. The Suzuki SV650 is even worse ,it really needs an extension to the fender extender ! I wish they would make bikes with proper mudguards or...

As far as I know a centre stand can't be fitted to these 650 Hondas. I had to get an Abba stand for my CB650F.

Exactly, don't buy a new battery, get it replaced under warranty.

That is what AA man told me when I called them out to screw in rear tyre. It was a new tyre only a few hundred miles old and it couldn't be mended because side was split as well, so I had to fork out for another new tyre .

Had a puncture while riding, the bike started to feel unstable and wobble as far as I can remember. You slow down and stop as soon as you can and get off.

If mine was stolen I wouldn't want it back after some scum had done god knows what to it. I thought Datatag was a visible deterrent because bike parts are marked, or are you saying they would strip it and sell parts that aren't marked ?

Leave it to the professional racers and stunt riders ,wheelies aren't for public roads !:nailbiting:

Does Datatag do any good deterring thieves? My bike was Datatagged from new by Suzuki last year.

Don't all internal combustion engines take a few minutes running to warm up ?!

Abba stand good on cb650f because you don't have to remove any panels to insert the mounts ( unlike Suzuki sv650a which requires removal of 2 plastic side panels which isn't exactly a major job but just makes things a bit more of a faff !

I thought 4 cylinder engines were the smoother type of engine anyway !

I thought my 2018 cb650f was buzzy and rattley but I didn't think that translated into any unusual vibration , if that makes sense.

My cb650f turned very easily so I don't think I would have wanted to take both hands off the handlebars anyway ( as I wouldn't with any bike ) I suspect a lot of bikes would pull to one side because of road camber for one thing !
