So my 2021 CB650R has only 50km on it so far.
It's a great bike, and I dont really see much of the complaints on it that i am reading about in the forums and reviews.
I find the seat firm, but comfortable.
The shocks are great - back shock bounces around on rough roads tho...but i assume i can soften that up a bit ?
Of course its a naked bike, so above 110km/hr the wind becomes annoying. Thats ok, I wont be going much faster than that anyways.
My main issue w this bike are the back brakes. I have to really press it down hard to get much out of it. The front is very responsive and firm. The back feels soft.
So...is this because my braking technique sucks, or is it part of the bike's mechanics ? Or is there something wrong with my bike ?
Also are there better brake pads that would improve the braking ? or adjustments that can be made ?
thanks guys !
