Recently my bike vibrate while riding around 130kmh at the front step and side tank. The vibration feels like phone vibration . Any advise where should i check ? Anyone encounter this issue before ?

Couple days ago we got into a little pickle with a thunderstorm, having a evening ride with a moto buddy. Got couple lightning strikes quite close (too close for my taste), and it started to be a little too hairy. What do you guys think of riding under storm? Any experiences?

Hi, Does anyone use earplugs while commuting in the city at speeds around 50km/h (occasionally reaching 90km/h on empty straights) that's 30-55mph. I'm relatively new to moto world, 3 years since I bought my first bike, 99% riding in city limits and slow speed country roads. Never used earplugs...

I have a 2016 CBR650F, which I only bought roughly 4 weeks ago. I purchased it at 15000kms and have ridden it up to 17000kms as it is my daily. It has been derestricted and tuned. I was slowing down for my exit off the highway, and I started smelling something off. Kept slowing down and...

Hello, I bought a new CBR650R 2024 with E-Clutch a couple months ago and I drove about 2000 Km. It had it`s first service around 900 Km. When I`m driving I notice there`s a vibration sound and it`s bothering me. The bike seems fine but it sounds like somethings lose at the front, like a...

Hello. I could not find the answer to this question anywhere. Partial answer, yes, but not full answer. General consensus is that after removing the cat, you should not ride the bike at all until it's put on a dyno and fuel map tuned. My problem is, I live in a town where there is no tuning...

Hi there i just bought this cb650f 2016 abs model. And when I ride it at the beginning it feels ok and after few minutes it’s not having power and it sounds wired like just 2 cylinders are working.. Somebody can help me fix it please 🙏🏽

Hey guys so I had a small slow speed off at the weekend. Basically throttle stuck on and I ran over a curb. The crash bungs saved all the plastics (thank god)! But I’ve noticed this on the rim. The bike doesn’t feel any different on the road and tyre is still fine. Would this still be safe to...

Hey all, I've been wanting to make my regular riding position on my cbr more aggressive/tucked for a while. At the moment it feels like im riding a touring bike haha. I've heard some stuff about getting clip ons/rear sets and wanted to know where to start and/or see if anyone has any opinions...

Winx Wheels reached out to me and sent me a pair of their armored riding jeans for review. You may have seen their adverts on FaceBook. I'm always a bit suspicious of companies that advertise on FB, so I was happy to get a pair to see what they are really like. Here's my review of them; the good...

Has anyone else had this problem? It's got to the point where it's bad and I've had to stop riding. Is it a case of just changing the seat? I think the seat is stock or maybe a custom for racing, I bought it second hand with a lot of upgraded parts etc. I had no issue with the mt07 and mt09...

Hi guys, I recently purchased a used 2021 CBR650R with currently 1700kms or about a 1000 miles. The bike has been fine until recently, I had been pulled over for about 5 minutes while having a quick break from riding. I then started the bike and pulled out of a driveway onto the main road. I...

Hi all fairly new here and my first forum. So I recently got a cbr650r 2020 (A2 restriced ecu and intake) a few months ago and it's been perfect since until around a week ago. I was riding along when the engine shut off as if the kill switch had been hit (it hadnt) the bike wouldn't start again...

I just bought a 2016 CBR650F from my friend who has not ridden it in about a year and a half… It has been sitting in his garage on a tender all that time. I have had it since memorial day weekend but it just started giving me issues today. It starts up just fine, but as I accelerate, it starts...

I currently ride a Honda 2008 VFR800A (52K KM) and used to own a CBR600FP (1993) and though I love my VFR my back is now having a issue with the weight of it and I am thinking of getting the CBR650R ABS. My question is how aggressive a riding position is it. I test rode a CBR600RR a few years...

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...

I know it's not the most pleasant topic, but I think it's a very important one. The reason I am asking this question is because I believe that by sharing experiences we can learn from each other's mistakes or plain misfortunes. As we all know benign situations in a car can become life...

Oh my, sun shining, a little chilly but dry. Almost perfect biking weather, god how I missed that. An hour out this morning with no particular place to go, i wasn't even upset with the Sunday drivers. Just thought I would let everyone know how good life is at 60

Last Friday I went riding on a circuit used by the Dutch police to train cops driving cars and riding motorcycles. They practice all sorts of traffic related things there, ranging from basic vehicle control and safely closing off roads to high speed pursuit situations. They also rent the track...

What's the cb650r like for twisty Country lanes. I live in SW England (Cornwall) and its tight twisties here every mile. I'm worried about the mid-range torque, compared to say a Trident 660 or Scambler 800. Any impressions,, please
