    CBR650F Front fork swap?

    Hey yall, i was looking for an Ohlins front fork kit to complete my suspension upgrade (FK 105) but they've been discontinued for a few years and cant even find a used spring upgrade kit. I see that the kit for the 17-18 cbr 650Fs are different, (FK 129) and i went through parts diagrams and...

    CB650F CB650F Front Suspension Height

    The front forks on my recently bought 2018 CB650F are set approx 12mm above the yolks (see picture). This excludes the top nuts. Is this normal? I’ve got the service manual but this is not specified that I can see. The reason I ask is that the bike sits very upright when on the side stand. I...

    Hello. Maybe a silly question, but when cleaning front fork stanchions, I noticed the left one (maybe the damper side) seems not to be as dry as it was, despite I cannot say it´s leaking, otherwise I would know the answer. My bike is now 27KKm. How long in average the seals of these forks last...

    How To Adjust Preload, Rebound and Compression

I’m sure most of us think they aren’t adjustable at all, but when I thought I could remember reading somewhere that they were adjustable I went...

    Does anyone know if the cartridge kit for 2019-20 CB650 will fit 2021 model? The only option I found was a kit from Ohlins and Andreani. https://www.xparts.net/en/shop/suspension/front-fork/10852/ohlins-nix30-street-cartridge-kit/honda/cb-650-r/2019-2020-e4/...

    CBR650F How to identify Ohlins FSK-105 or FSK-129 Front Suspension

    I'm redoing my fork oil for a 2014 CBR, but since I bought my bike used in 2018, I have had no idea which version the previous owner put in and could not figure out the fork level oil. The FSK 105 fork level air gap is 140 MM and the FSK129 is 150MM The previous owner could have bought the...
