rear brake

Hi all New here bit of back story I bought my bike 5 months ago 2016 Cb650f Abs In thr black and white colour combo with only 5k miles ever since buying it the rear brakes been an huge issue it's fine when cold but after 5/10 minutes of riding it starts to binde and come on harder and harder...

Before I start buying random sized bits, does anyone know the size of the heads needed to remove the plate to access the wiring to adjust the rear brake light? I’m having an issue where either it’s always on, on too late, or flickers. I’ve seen the nut that I need to adjust for when it comes...

I changed the pads front and rear on my 2018 CB650F and then thought I’d bleed the brakes. It’s only done 5k but assumed the fluid would benefit from changing. Started with the rear first. Using a non return tube which is one I’ve used many times I quickly emptied the rear line without fluid...

Anyone else think the rear brake on the cbr650r is really poor. I have absolutely no faith in it at all. I’ve had two and both have been really poor regarding rear braking. Previously I was a moto x rider and had enduro bikes in the road. Rear brakes were brilliant and in not sure about the cbr...

Good day everyone. Has anyone had a problem with the ABS on their CB650F? Mine (2019) has the rear brake pedal locked, and it doesn't brake at all. It doesn't even move. The front brake is working. The scanner shows the error "Safety relay". Thank you.

Hi All, i have decided to ride my 22 CB650R after almost a year in storage. When I press the rear brake pedal the pedal gets stuck in the down position and doesnt go back uo, i have to lift it with my foot. I thought maybe its stuck due to corrosion but even after spraying some wd40, its made no...

Hi, just joined the club this weekend with my '25 CB650R. Noticed the rear brake is really not very strong. I know 70% of the braking comes from the front, but this is my first bike with a hydraulic rear disc brake and am surprised with how weak it is. Have to really stomp on it to feel any...

I'm considering replacing the stock rear caliper on my CB650R 2020 with an aftermarket one. I’m not a fan of the floating caliper and would prefer to switch to a two-piston one. Does anyone know if the original mount is compatible with any aftermarket calipers? I found online a quality kit...

Hi All, I recently had to fit a new tyre are picking up a puncture. I made sure to get the spacers the correct way around and torqued the nut up to the recommended settings. Prior to the new tyre everything was fine with no issues. My next ride out with the new tyre the ABS light started...

Hi does anyone else think the rear brake feels like it's does nothing except when your doing about 10 kph or under.

Hi guys, IS IT NORMAL THAT THE CB650R REQUIRES A LOT OF MOVEMENT FOR THE REAR BRAKE TO ENGAGE? IS THIS ON PURPOSE? My rear brake has to be pressed a lot before being effective. If I push fully at low speed it blocks the wheel so it is working fine. I am new to my CB650R that only has 1700...

Hi Guys, My CB650R has the black paint on the rear brake damaged. It seems the previous owner used some chemical and the paint has bubble away in same places. How should I fix it? Clearly a new disc will do it but it is a lot of work to fit? I am familiar with these type of work and not...

So I finally did it, forgot to remove my wheel lock before starting off and of course stalled and dumped the bike. Luckily this was in my garage with a cement floor so it didn't damage the paint too badly. The main contact point was the engine cover which now has a small scrape. The weird thing...

Hi folks, I am following the user manual to adjust the engagment of the brake light when activating the rear brake as I feel its way out of spec. Is there any special technique to doing this? I am rotating the bolt in the required direction but it is not making a difference. As it is hidden...

I had OEM pads on my rear tire and I just installed EBC Sintered Double-H Pads and I am trying to find out of this is normal. I took my bike out for its first ride and I can "feel" it scoring the rear rotor on initial contact. When riding and I apply pressure to the rear brake, it feels a little...

For some reason the rear brake reservoir on my bike is completely empty. I don't often use the rear brake so was wondering what I should look for to see what caused it?

2015 CBR650F non-abs. Just got the bike a few weeks ago. 5300 miles on it. Rear brake seems really weak and has a weird feel to it. Not sure since I'm new to the bike but it just doesn't seem right to me. 1/4 pedal does about nothing, 1/2 pedal start to get some slowing, then 3/4 pedal the pedal...

Hi all, Quick question. I have recently had all my footrests anodised on my CBR650R. As part of the dismantling process, I removed a circlip and washer holding the rear brake pivot to the footrest (picture attached) - the units are also bolted together. When I tried to reassemble, the circlip...

just trying to wire up a new brake light but just wondering what wire is positive, negative and ground.
