    Rusty bolts!

    I know manufacturers tend to use sub standard fixings on their bikes, but the 2 bolts that secure the plastic trim for the ignition barrel on the top of the petrol tank have started to rust!

    All 650's Overflow hoses

    One thing I noticed after getting the bike was how far the overflow hoses dangled down under it. Once I purchased the service manual I then noticed a section on how long they should actually be, much shorter than they had been left, out of the factory.

    CBR650R New member with a new 650R

    So been riding CBR500's for a few years and decided after a test ride of the new CBR models, chose to upgrade to the 650R. Very nice bike, especially in the matt black paint. Added the tinted screen and pillion cover, then some rim tape and an HRC tank pad. Am in the process of changing rear...
