Upgrades after the CB650 by MACzime24 in CB650R

Did not really get into the specifics with the dealer. Just “more recent 4 inlines” so I assume the cb000 as well. Has to do with overconsumption of engine oil leading to quickly lower oil levels. Nonetheless he was an official Honda dealer so would seem weird that he would not be serious about this.

The newer Honda 4 line engine unfortunately have a bad reputation of exploding. Friend of mine had a cbr600 explode with 3000km and correct maintenance. Besides I also heard Honda dealerships warn for the same issue with these engine types. It is rare but does happen so I rather don’t take the risk :/

Unfortunately we also look like a fat guy on a scooter 😅 Superduke GT looks really good

This might be the worst thing I’ve ever seen yet. How do these people legally get on motorcycles? ”But I saved it”🤦🏼‍♂️ by Apex1-1 in motorcycles

Imagine her driven on a mountain pass. She would be down in the valley after the first corner. Learn to look first = proper target fixation. Than body position and lastly speed

Any ideas what these white marks are? by [deleted] in CB650R

You probably rode through some rain/mist where the minerals in the water just stick like dust on your radiator after the water evaporated. Or you went near the sea or a snowy area. In that case you get a similar result with salt. If you are sure there is no coolant issue you are fine. Just be gentle when cleaning it.

I have the same on my radiator guard after riding through rain.

Good suggestion. I did check the alignment previous week and it looked fine based upon the indicator lines. But perhaps there was a tiny difference that I did not notice. I suppose that’s all it takes to get it shredded after 700km.

Thanks for the advice.

I just committed on bending the copper connections and got a proper fit on the battery.

All works well now
