brakes

Hi all, I'll start by saying my bike spends a large majority of it's time canyon carving, but I also commute a few miles a day to work on it. I've been looking into brake pads recently as I'm getting frustrated with the stock pads' tendency to fade and then get very soft and leave deposits...

found some good local deals on a Brembo master cylinder and calipers, and while it seems the calipers should fit fine, im concerned that the master cylinder clearance with the lines is either gonna be super tight or just short (trying to see if I can return the part in case it doesn't fit) Has...

I have upgraded so many things on my 2020 Cbr650R that really one of the last things for me is brake system upgrade. Does anyone know or has upgraded their master cylinder? I know there is the Brembo Corsa Corta upgrade but I havent seen anyone with it in person or real great photos showing...

Hi everyone, first time posting here, such a nice forum that has already helped me a lot with my CBR650F (2015) that I got 3 months ago. It had 21k km when I bought it and now has over 25k ! I just did a big service on it with : -engine oil + filter -replaced air filter, put new spark plugs...

Hi, just bought my first cb650f abs, and understood, that the front discs are warped. Now looking into the catalog and seeing that is available to buy 2 different front discs. But looking i.e to TRW catalog or other manufactures, shows only one option to buy it. Maybe someone knows if those 2...

Heya everyone, I've run into a problem where my rotor is scraping on something and was told that I might be missing a spacer however the piston in the brake caliper is seized which destroyed my brake pads and now I will have to bleed the brakes but I'm worried that the rotor is going to keep...

I checked my brake pads today and the wear on them is horribly uneven. for context there is Only 5000 miles on the bike and all pistons move freely as they should do. The front wheel however does not move anywhere near as freely as it should do. Upon checking the pads I noticed the clips/shims...

Hi all, I've had a problem with my front brake for some time, although I've been forgetting to look at it until now as it wasn't too bad. A while back the brakes became softer and had to be pulled in quite far to work well. to clarify they still had sufficient braking power for city riding and...

Has anyone else ever heard their front brakes sing? This is definitely not the pad warning tabs as this isn't a squeal and it doesn't happen with any regularity. I can see the pads and there's lot's still on them and the rotors look pristine. A quick google search said it may be vibration...

The front brakes on the Honda are pretty good on the street, with no real limitations, if only lacking good feel. However, I enjoy taking my CBR650R to the track pretty regularly, and this can be hard on the stock braking system. Especially on the days when there are no run groups and it's just...

Dear folks, As I was riding with an experienced buddy, he pointed out that I was breaking using just one finger. That is true I use only the middle finger while the index and thumb stay on the throttle for handling efficiency. Do you see it as a risk and a manner that I should correct...

tried searching and came up with little info. looking for replacement rotors for a cb650r 2020. hopefully somewhere here in the states but most of what im finding is only oem and i know there has to be companies out there that make other options. any help would be appreciated. also if anyone...

Having difficulty finding the piston size. Does anyone know? Im looking for a lever without the reservoir integrated into it.

Hi will the levers off a cbr650r fit on my cbr650f? Thanks

Hi All, I need to get new front Discs as they are just on \ below the wear limit, I think the pads were sticking a bit so they probably wore them down. Any recommendations on where would be best to source new discs? I assume I should change the pads at the same time? If so what do you...

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on these forums but I've been scanning old threads and this seems like a really great place to find some information about my bike. I picked up a new 2019 CB650R about a month ago. This means the bike had been sitting on the showroom floor for about...

So my 2021 CB650R has only 50km on it so far. It's a great bike, and I dont really see much of the complaints on it that i am reading about in the forums and reviews. I find the seat firm, but comfortable. The shocks are great - back shock bounces around on rough roads tho...but i assume i...

I bought my cb650f back in December of 2020, only done 4,000 miles on it but the bike was sitting for 3 years in showroom so brake fluid was 4 years old at this point. Decided to change it out with some MOTUL DOT 4 brake fluid. Night and day difference, see the pictures! I only took before...

Hi All, I have a 2015 CBR650F which needs a bit of work, The Calipers seem a bit sticky and the front discs are down to the limit. How difficult is it to change the Discs & Pads on the front yourself & also change the Caliper seals, etc I don't have much maintenance experience yet but I'm...

Hi everyone, I searched the forum before writing this in the hope this would have happened to someone before me. The issue is that when braking, mostly at low speed, my front rotors make a high pitch sound and eventually very small vibrations - more like resonation - appear up to the handlebar...
