engine swap!?

Standard discs ... damn, cost cutting must be really biting Honda.

Nice looking calipers though.

Hmm, a quick Google check and all images still have wave discs, even on 2018 colours.

Where did the photo come from?

That's odd 🤔 was it a cb500?

 

[Brammers]

I wouldn't mind a second opinion 👍

Well it's not a cb500f.

My 2018 has wavy discs if that helps...

Not just the CBR, CB has wave discs too. CB650F (2018):

It's a bit odd 🤔 but Brammers is looking into it. 👍

Think this confirms your suspicions, I didn't even realise they were different until you said. The caliper looks more refined and the fluid hose has moved to the top. Judging by the exposed pad on the skinnier pre-facelift caliper and the position of the pad pin, I'd say the pads are the same. The whole thing is interchangeable based on the forks fixture points but as you said, caliper bracket and speed sensor are different.

I saw a CBR500R ABS 2017 the other day. It has the same Newer Brake caliper of the CBR650F 2017-2018

Yes but didn't it have petal discs.?

Sorry guys I cropped the photo to focus in on the calipers! The full version of both shows wavy discs on both too. My bad.

Pic of the current CBR500R from the dealer I got my bike from:

It's got wavy brake discs alright

hi guys, sorry been busy trying to rebuild etc.... i can give you all a heads up.... fairings are interchangeable however head light is different as we know, calipers are the same and fit fine however the abs doesnt fit calipers, tried swapping wiring but just comes up with errors so have had to run old calipers with old abs on new forks and wheel, abs rings the same disks and pads are fine also, the wiring harness from the nose cone is different though, you can fit it but you wont get any head lights only sidelights and the hiss rings/ ignition are also wired differently on the loom, even when you change the top yoke for barrel and hiss ring the engine wont start this is either due to the hiss and ecu are wired up or the wiring is wrong?!? either way the fuel pump wouldnt even kick in so guessing more wiring loom than ecu immobilised, forks are different however are the same in regards to fit so thats cool, alternator covers and clutch covers are interchangeable just be mindful of the location sleeve on the alternator cover! exhaust are not the same either the new is a little shorter in length making it tricky to fit but possible however once again the pain is you have to swap the 02 sensor as they have moved it to the other side of the exhaust so its not long enough, if any1 wants to know if something fits or works while there both still in bits let me know lol

also for those who asked how did i blow the engine up..... i think it took too much of a beating being more or permanently pinned at 142 for 2 tanks because after that it started to sound abit not impressed but at least it got me home good old honda

 

[Beansie]

The thing that interests me most is where did you manage to keep it pinned for 2 hours 😂

 

[Daniel]

Were you keen to run the engine in?

Can you confirm the 2017/2018 fork legs fit in the 2014 to 2016 triple trees and with 2014 to 2016 calipers, discs, wheels, etc?

It looks like I can just buy 2017/2018 Cbr650f fork leg assemblies as OEM parts from Honda and they’ll just bolt on to my 2014 Cbr650f.
