    Request advice on CBR650R 2021-2023 front shock absorber disassembly issues

    Hi I'm from Taiwan. I encountered a big problem when disassembling my right fork. I couldn't remove the stopper ring from my inner tube. Does anyone have any disassembly tips or videos? Because the left inner tube only needs to remove the spring. The stopper ring can be removed by applying...

    Rear shock compatibility

    Good morning all, I'm worried that this might be a bit of a dumb question. The other day I bottomed out with a passenger on and once we stopped I noticed my plate had shattered. On further inspection I saw my shock was shot, Took it to the shop and was told there's enough in it for careful...

    All 650's Used Ohlins Rear Shock

    Hi all Just after a little bit of advice/opinions on this. I have come across a used shock on eBay at a fairly reasonable price assuming the seller is good to their offer but wondered whether this was a good idea? Should I just bite the bullet and get a new shock rather than trying to save a...

    All 650's Will adjusting the shock pre-load change the ride height?

    I have read all the forum threads on lowering kits and shock pre-load but still looking for this answer. I am a height challenged rider who would do anything to get just a half inch lower seat height so I can flat foot at a stop. The bike came with the shock set a five and just wondering if...

    Surface rust on rear shock

    I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I’m guessing autosol will clean it up? But once clean I’m guessing the original colour was black is it just best to hammerite it or are there better products for the job? Many thanks!

    All 650's What is the best rear suspension preload setting?

    I believe preload is the word I'm looking for here. Anyway, when I got my bike, the rear shock was adjusted to the highest possible setting on the rear shock. I'm a tall guy, so this isn't much of a bother, but I'm wondering how adjusting it will change the ride characteristics or center of...
