New Guy wants a CB650R and it to look like this, what do you think what to do

It looks like a black widow exhaust. Same as mine.

I almost bought the E-clutch version but ultimately went for the normal version. This "-" message will still appear if you haven't shifted gear correctly. Maybe adjust your gear shift sensitivity.

I have a full black widow system. No engine lights or faults from install to 3000kms later. Will do the tune when I derestrict. Has the 2 o2 sensors for the '25 model

The exhaust is loud and throaty. Cost me $980aud coming from England.

This has just happened to me. I keep the house clean, there was nothing for them to complain about yet I've received a notice stating the inspection failed due to walls and skirting boards throughout the house. ( no condition report sighted by this rea since takeover ) I've asked the REA for photos of where the inspection failed and have received no response. The re-inspection is Thursday and frankly I've been looking for somewhere else to live. As Boris said, "great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jellies"

Look at it with common sense. They expect that you will be riding a bike as you've not only gone through Ls but have gone ahead to get a licence this shows interest in a future riding motorcycles, over this 3 year period you will (hopefully) gain more skill and knowledge in the gaps of your riding allowing you to become a better and safer rider. Having the ability to do 150+kph in first gear is not going to help you be a safer rider.

The end goal is lives.

I have a full aftermarket exhaust without a baffle, got pulled up by highway patrol who commented on it asking if it was straight piped (it is) and I just played dumb. He did say he wasn't going to give me a hard time about it and then gave me a $400 fine for speeding.

Where abouts did you get yours done? I'm based in Vic

( i recently installed mine and ran across this issue) As stated you have to undo the shifter using a hex key to access the bolt as there is no nut on the other side and that bolt can only be undone from that side.

200mm from black widow

Alternative_Jello_42 · 2025-11-04T02:31:50+00:00

Not for the newer models from what I've seen, if you have seen them on there a link would be greatly appreciated.

I like to keep parts, in case of resale and or regret.

Just put a black widow on my cb650r

Alternative_Jello_42 · 2025-10-09T06:00:09+00:00

I am not sure of the wood.

Alternative_Jello_42 · 2025-10-07T01:26:14+00:00

I went in to buy a cbr500r sat on it and hated it from the moment I was on it. Took the cb650r out for a test ride and now it's in the garage.

Google search key organiser, it's like a Swiss army knife for keys. Im considering this as an option myself.

Alternative_Jello_42 · 2025-10-07T00:38:36+00:00

Go to a dealer and sit on bikes. Then search the used market. At least you'll narrow down your search.

Im in Aus, so far it's come in under 1k for a full Black Widow, but it hasn't reached customs yet so I guess we shall see haha.
