    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

    “Clunking” when in low gear

    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?

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...

    CBR650R CBR650R (LAMS) Gear Selection

    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...

    CBR650R 2019 cbr650r stuck in 4th gear

    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...

    Gear Dianese New Drake Air

    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...

    CB650R Highway riding steering squirrels when past 8k rpms in 3-4th gear

    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...

    CBR650F Can't go lower than 2nd gear

    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...

    Gear What’s Your Favorite Gear (and Why?)

    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...

    CB650R Can the revs in 6th gear be tamed

    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.

    CB650R Quickshifter gear lever adjustment issue

    Hi, I recently bought a new unrestricted 2021 CB650R with an OEM quickshifter (upshift). I noticed that I have a lot of false neutral shifts when trying to upshift, and also sometimes the quickshifter won't work correctly. My guess is that the gear lever is adjusted too high, and I want to...

    Austin TX summers

    Anyone else finally relieved we can start wearing gear without the risk of passing out from heat exhaustion? This summer was brutal, I've ridden more times in a t-shirt this summer than I'd like to admit, but not dying from heat stroke is a calculated risk one must take with a 75+ dew point at...
