just started riding a few months ago and bought a cbr650f and im thinking bout taking the whole thing apart this winter to 1.) learn about the machine a little and 2.) improve some parts. Any recommendations on first mods? only thing aftermarket currently is the fender eliminator.

Hello and welcome!!! baugustine @baugustine has linked you to some mod threads to help.

Honestly there’s not a lot “wrong” with the bike to fix or is there a lot to do to it to make it better. Get a pipe if you want more noise, do whatever you need to make it fit you, be it levers, seat, pegs, etc. and the best bang for the buck mod is get the suspension setup for your weight.

From there it’s maintenance, tires, fuel, oil and riding time.

Enjoy!!!

Welcome to the forum!

How about just putting miles on it?!?! Like miweber929 stated, there's not much that's "wrong" with these Honda's. The more you take apart, the more problems arise!

Ride it, maintain it and have a blast on it!

As everyone has said. Just ride it. That way you will find what you love about it and those things that you don't. That will give you an indication on what to look at improving or changing to suit your style of riding.
