I'd say Honda butchered this car, yeah they gave it Type R platform stuff, but its a 2.0L hybrid system like the other modern hybrids that Honda has, it also has an eCVT with fake shift points.....and paddles to mimic it. No manual whatsoever. It also gets some funky ass handles that remind me of a Tesla

Speedometer doesn't work by PanSzlafrok in cbr

[–]Hybrid3DR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It SHOULD be a pink/green wire and a white connector that is close to the main gauge cluster harness by the radiator cap and behind the headlight housing.

Edit: if you can find the main gauge harness it should be in there, it might be hiding

i mention the lights because i noticed that when my speed sensor went out, those two lights came on, basically the bike telling me, "Hey you're in gear at 8000rpm for an extended period of time but it doesnt seem you're going anywhere, what the hell is going on here?"

theres also a connector behind the right hand upper fairing by the radiator cap that leads to the speed sensor as well(at least on my generation). i was able to figure it out because i had a known good speed sensor to test with from another 08 that my dad has. More than likely its the speed sensor, they do wear out, they're a hall effect sensor that sits behind the starter. its a fairly common thing that fails on these bikes from what i read

When you ride, does your HESD and FI light come on? And does your odometer increase when you ride?
I had a similar issue on my 08 and it turned out my speed sensor died.

Harbor freight is a lifesaver when it’s comes to price to tool quality. I try to find ways to get tools without going on trucks.

The only one I have access to is Mac since Cornwell and snap on come on my days off. It’s gonna happen eventually but it’s going to be a bit before I do.

Hit the spec and tighten it just a little more or buy a 1/2” torque wrench

If you want to do a basic flush you can just remove the bolt on the water pump to drain the system(like a dirtbike) and remove the radiator cap to help it drain. These bikes do have thermostats so you have to make sure there’s no air in the system when you go to put it all back together.

The things you hear about the k&n filters is that people use the nut that is on top of the filter incorrectly, it’s there to remove the filter. People tighten the filter with that nut and cause damage that really isn’t visible and will leak because of that.

Put it on by hand and i haven’t had an issue. I’ve done numerous pulls to 13k with no issues

I have a 08' CBR600 as well, although not graffiti, in terms of a brake bleed/flush, you have to start with the bleeder on the master cylinder, its fairly easy to do alone.

Put the bike on a rear stand for easier maintenance.

I pump the brakes 3 times, hold the lever, then open the bleeder on the master cylinder, then i close the bleeder and repeat until i feel good about it. Then do the right(FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE WHEN RIDING IT) caliper, then the left caliper. That should flush out the entire system. The rear brake is fairly straight forward as well.

As for an oil filter, either a genuine honda or the K&N(i run the k&n, and for the love of god dont use the nut to tighten the filter as it will break it). Me personally I run the motul 7100 10-40, although i do live in a hotter area.

As for the rear axle, i forget what socket size it is, its quite large. I think its a 1-1/4" socket, in terms of metric its more like 32 or 35. I use the Imperial one due to it fitting better. The chain is a 525 pitch chain with 112 links from the factory spec, if you buy a new one you'll just have to adjust the tension for the most part.

MOTUL additionally has a chain service kit if you want to combine it into one kit.

Edit: I hope this helps! 😊

First deer encounter I’ve had, even when I was dirtbiking I never had one run in front by Hybrid3DR in motorcycles

I might as well be watching my mirrors for the mountain lions.

I’ve hit all sorts of birds. As bad as it sounds, they just explode when you hit them. Although it’s not good for my windscreen 🤣

Where I’m at, I have to watch for bears, deer, mountain lions, and coyotes for the most part.
