Can anyone give me insite on how to remove the silver intake covers on my 2018 CB650F?
I'm not sure if they are just held on by clips are it there is a hidden screw.....I want to take them off to repaint them.

Cheers!

Have you checked the resources section for the service manual? I don't think the 14 and 18 cb650f is that much different around that area.

They both have a single air intake under the tank, if I remember correctly.

You might get some ideas from the manual on part removal.

Yeah I see the hex screws..... it doesn’t look like they are one piece though. I’ll take the black piece off & have a look. There has to be tabs holding them together though.

Thanks for the reply!

To remove the side panel you will have to remove three screws, all three are different measure . Take it easy with the velcro

And you'll also have to give it a good tug as there is a prong that has to be dislodged. When you come tp painting you'll also need to disassemble the backing panels..you'll see when you get it off.

Awesome guys, thanks for the info.....now does anyone know if they sell this piece in black?
Mine is silver & I rather just buy one in black instead of having to paint it.

So those covers just hide some ugly wiring? It's not an air intake?
Interesting
