gear

I thought my bike was made just before the dates for the recalls but it seems not. Mine was built Feb 24 and registered April 24.

*SOLVED* - it was a damaged front sprocket Hi all first time posting. I've just got a CbR650r however when in gear at low rpm (around 3-4k) I get a rythmical knocking noise that is about once a second. When I pull the clutch in it stops and if I rev to the same rpm with clutch in it doesn't do...

Hi, anyone else noticed any play on the gear shifter link rod ends/mountings? Seems that the uniballs are riveted from both ends and in time they losen up. Thought I'd angle grind the oem uniball rives off and replace them with stainless M6's to get rid of the play.

so i keep seeing top speed videos for the cbr650r and all of them are able to go way faster than i can in everyy gear, aswell as they are able to hit redline in each gear. my bike feels like it will explode around 8k-9k, even tho it should go past 10k like in the videos i see. plus my first gear...

So i hear some sounds of something turning, its like gearbox or something. You can compare it to the sound when you drive a car in reverse, it almost makes the same sounds when you are accelerating up to 5-10 km/h or smth. So i hear it EVERYTIME no matter im accelerating or i pull the clutch or...

So I have my 2019 engine in my 2016 CB650F. I need a second hand gear switch to get it started and working as before. Which wire is for the neutral?

Hi there, Can anyone tell me what these two cables are under the cowl seat? One is a two pin connector the other has a red cap. Also on the few tools I found here, I don't understand what the bottom once are. Sorry to be a noob! P

Hi, I have recently noticed a “clunk/clunk” sound when pulling away in a low gear. Sounded like incorrect drive chain tension but not that. Has anyone any suggestions?

Hello all, This is my first time posting here so apologies if I mess something up in the post. The bike is a 2016 CBR650F with ~23,000 miles with an akrapovic exhaust, besides that I believe it is stock. I got the bike this spring and went about 500 miles before having any issues. My issue is...

I've seen some threads on here already regarding gear selection and optimal rev ranges, but none specific to the LAMs version. I live in a small rural town where most streets are 50 km/h, but I can't decide between 3rd or 4th as the optimal gear for that speed. 3rd makes it sound like the bike...

Hi there :) I'm a newbie rider with a CB650R from 2022. About 5500km. I've started noticing a new buzzing, humming?... noise in 5th and 6th gearr on any rpm. It's like a low "fffffffffrfrffrfrr". Like a wind noise mixed with the motor sound. Very notiecable when I compare between 4th and 5th...

Hello. Thought I'd get the view of the forum whilst I sit at the side of the road waiting on the RAC. Was out on my bike with zero issues when it refused to shift out of 4th - either up or down. Engine was running fine. Clutch seams to be ok as if I pull it in I can move the bike backwards...

Hi guys, I have maintained my cbr650f 2018 by my self, Including clean air filter, change new spark plug to iridium, i’m also used carburetor cleaning spray to clean throttle body. So i have disconnected all what need to reach out the throttle body.(cables, wire sensors, air box,..) Coolant...

Have owned my 2015 cb650f for around a month now, really enjoy the bike. however ive ran into an issue lately, theres a odd chance from when i shift from 1st to 2nd gear the bike will fall into neutral and when trying to shift up/down from that point it always makes a loud clunk noise. I have to...

Hello all, I recently purchased a pair of Dianese New Drake Air textile pants. I got a size 44 (small) because it matched up with my measurements and they fit a little snug but my biggest complaint is they bunch up tight behind my knee. I want to try to return them but I already threw out the...

When riding on the highway (or anywhere the speed limit is like above 65mph and there is just long straight flat road) and you're downshifting from 6th/5th gear down to 4th for *passing someone* (ahem...or whatever the reason), when I start applying throttle 5k rpms...6k.. 7k... 8k... 9k...

Hi guys I have an issue with gear changing. I can go up freely through every gear when the bike is stopped and while riding BUT when I approach to the junction and want to reduce from 2nd gear to neutral or to 1st gear - it's can't be done. It feels like the 2nd gear was the last one. The foot...

As the title suggests....what are your "go-to" gloves for Winter/Summer etc? I have 3 pairs. Alpinestars Copper Road gloves (Summer and quick trips) Argon Synchro Goat Leather gloves (All seasons except Winter) Dririder Apex 2 gloves (Cold weather and Winter) I've only just today bought the...

My wife and I went on a ride this morning, and we looked at the weather forecast prior to decide what gear we should employ for the journey. This time of year in SoCal we get big temperature swings due to hot desert air blowing out to sea and we needed to be prepared to quickly shed layers. As...

I find the revs in 6th are far to high in relation to the speed, when Iam hitting say 55mph if I didnt look at the clock I swear I would be doing 80mph from all the comotion the pick gives out - Can a bigger sprocket on the rear do anything to calm this or am I stuck with it.
