    CB650F Jerking when adding or slowing the throttle

    I had the same problem when I first rode my CB650F - on advice from here I adjusted my free throttle play to about 4mm, that and a little getting used to the immediate response changed the whole feel of the bike.

    All 650's How can you visually tell a bike is restricted/limited?

    After having my second hand new toy for nearly a month and not yet wanting to ride at 140-150 mph how can I visually tell my bike isn't a restricted model (I was verbally told it's not when I bought it), also does this mean that if a bike was stopped by police they would struggle to confirm that...

    Sunday Morning

    Oh my, sun shining, a little chilly but dry. Almost perfect biking weather, god how I missed that. An hour out this morning with no particular place to go, i wasn't even upset with the Sunday drivers. Just thought I would let everyone know how good life is at 60

    Rain and ABS

    Thanks great information, I'm still getting used to the bike and as you say the ABS isn't hyper-sophisticated but works. I'll think I'll just get on riding and quit worrying about it.

    CB650R Mid Bike Crisis

    Welcome back, I have a similar story. Passed my test at 18, several bikes later I realised I had a company car and more pressing commitments (wife, mortgage etc) so hung up my helmet and gloves at 29. Missed 2 wheels so much and found I continued to hanker after every bike that passed me but...

    Rafe Thanks, I saw that in one of the forums on here a yesterday, I checked the freeplay and adjusted it to about 3-4mm, not done any riding since. I'll let you know if it improves.

    All 650Rs Hello from Ireland … 👋

    Welcome, very nice colour scheme, like you I got back on 2 wheels (2017 cb650F) last week after a long break (20 + years), I was super nervous and very rusty too. Have since spent evenings down the local trading estate getting the feel back. How are you getting on with throttle response? mine...

    Rain and ABS

    Okay my new toy arrived this afternoon 2017 CB-F with ABS and I spent 20 minutes admiring it outside while getting soaked to the skin. Didn't take it out as weather became monsoon like and I've decided to become more of a fair weather rider. The rain got me thinking, although I've not ridden a...
