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.
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...
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

How are you getting on with throttle response? mine...
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...
