In my experience: 1. The paint quality is fair. Since buying the bike new in 2019 I havent noticed anything in particular. Just regular washing and waxing. I purchased PPF to apply to be lazy, but never put it on. My biggest gripe with the paint is that my black is just basic gloss black. I'd...

I came across this today and found it rather funny, and somewhat annoying. Seems Honda might finally be playing catch-up with what I've had for years now 😂 https://young-machine.com/2022/10/25/386718/ Theirs: And my 2019 for reference (before my Akra went on): Do wish I had those black...

Mostly attempted to adjust my riding so I don't experience them as often. The changes on the bike are done at the tail and everything is secured, the exhaust which has neither increased or decreased vibrations, engine cases to the cb650f ones, and cb650f pegs. The vibrations have been constant...

After a recent 2400kms road trip and over 11000kms on the bike, the vibrations in mine persist. Those coming through the handlebars are tolerable, albeit annoying when touring. But, the resonant frequency that makes the entire bike shake hasn't dissipated over the life of the bike and is beyond...

This is a different model though. And it is one explicitly supported by Akrapovic for the '19 650R. The S-H6R12-HAFT I chose, is not. Your version is much more, bulbous and fat looking and I'm not personally a fan. The one I've chosen is much slicker and tucked into the bike, imo. But yours is...

Nice day trip up a local mountain lead to some decent sakura viewing. And I didn't drop the bike this year. That's a win-win right there to me.

Also a Japan rider here. My solution just came in the mail today and seems to work precisely as intended. Here is a picture of it:

With a road trip planned for this spring, I needed a luggage solution that would allow me to carry some clothes for my time out and not cause me undue stress as a backpack would. I'm not really a fan of soft cases, so I looked around for some hard cases that looked decent on the bike. Most were...

The stock indicators did not allow me to install my side case racks as I wanted to. So, I had to find another solution. A little research into other tail tidies, and i found ACTIVE had something I liked. But I already had an Evotech tidy that I like quite a bit. A little more digging and I found...

I'd say it may be a market thing then. Perhaps my Japanese market bike uses the more-common-here M8 1.25 bolt. I just triple checked between BikeBandit and Honda Parts House; the 2015 CBR650F, 2019 CB650R, and 2020 CB650R all use the same bolt, P/N: 90103-MJE-D00 Somewhere along the line...

To any and all who happen across this in the future: The Akrapovic exhaust S-H6R12-HAFT (the one with the 4 outlet baffle) fits the CB650R just fine. It's not listed on the Akrapovic website as compatible. This exhaust system includes mounting bracket P/N: P-X153 (item 11 in their parts...

Arent these the type of two point guards people have warned against in the past? The front mounting point being fine. But the rear mount not being attached directly to frame or itself is the issue. It is attached to the frame via a brace, but, on the other side of that brace it's attached to the...

Minus the rattle of my license plate and the apparent increase in the irritating 4000-6000 vibration issue (perhaps due to less isolation since im not actually using the rubber isolators correctly), YES! It was exactly what I was looking for in terms of a sound increase and minor timbre change...

Exhaust model S-H6R12-HAFT Getting the muffler mounted was easy enough; just time consuming. Squeezing between the rubber mounts and wiggling it to the collector took a bit of work is all. Otherwise, zero fitment issues. Everything lines up the way it ought to. After the first unsuccessful...

That's quite interesting. I was hoping I'd be more than the first person in the world to have this issue. Guess I'll be emailing Akra about it. The mount for the different mufflers seems to be a different part number and slightly different. The bolts for the 650f/r at this location are the same...

I recently purchased a beautiful Akrapovic system for my 650R. Mounting was easy, looks great, sounds awesome; exactly what I was looking for in an exhaust. With one caveat. The two mounting bolts for the muffler itself through the rubber grommets do not thread into the provided mounting...

You and me both

How long are those suckers from the mounting point on the tail to the tip? I was thinking about these so I can run my tail tidy and my saddlebags as the stock indicators stick out a wee bit too far to clear the mounting brackets. Also, whats the area looking like from the LEDs themselves? I need...

This is something i'd like to do too. I noticed Ohlins global website has cartridge kit FKS 516 and rear suspension HO 913 available for the 650R, but I can't pin down a place to source from. Where did you source your parts?

I got two co workers I let use mine if they want. I just trade them their bikes. One with a Triumph Speed Twin (that I have a spare key for and he has one from mine, Just in case) and one with a CRF1100 Africa Twin for the occasional "I want something different" since it feels like a barge, with...
