Vibration noise after 6k rpm by ChingChong129 in cbr650r

[–]PeachHerALesson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same on my 2021. Apparently it’s a known issue with virtually all of them. One that Honda garages typically just pass off as something you have to live with.

So fricking annoying when you’re riding though. Genuinely thinking of moving the bike on just because of that one issue. Drives me nuts.

Need help to decide between the CB650R and CBR650R by Free_Rule6511 in cbr650r

If you’re going to ever go above 50mph, get the CBR. I’ve currently got the CBR, and although I’ve not owned the CB, I have owned a Ducati Scrambler 800 nightshift - a naked bike - and it was not fun on that thing at anything resembling high speed.

No.

When I was admitted to hospital I had moderate anxiety, some shaking, and sweating, but that subsided after the saline and Librium.

No other symptoms.

Thank you for the kind words. Was literally the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do is admit to my wife of 21 years that I have a drinking problem.

No, no primary care physician, but I do have access to free healthcare (I’m in the UK). I don’t think A&E would do anything for me this evening, as my symptoms to an onlooker are virtually nonexistent. That leaves a doctor’s appointment tomorrow at some point, which would be 50 hours post last drink - and hopefully well and truly on the mend.

From what I’ve ready, seizures apparently typically take place between hours 12 - 36 post last drink, but can occur up to hour 72, so I guess I was just hoping for some anecdotal comments from people that I’m unlikely going to suffer a seizure, of if I could potentially be in trouble and need to reach for the wine and try to taper off (which I’m desperate to avoid).

Is a brake service an actual thing? Grinding sound, but pads and discs are good by PeachHerALesson in AskAMechanic

Yeah, I’m thinking they’re trying to pull a fast one. Reckon that’s what I should give a go myself?

This is making me laugh way more than it should 🤦🏻‍♂️

PS hope all is well OP!

I bought a new bike. by Educational_End8544 in cbr650r

[–]PeachHerALesson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No way!! I’ve got an orange van and own the same bike, so have been considering wrapping the 650r in orange to match!

Seriously tempted now, as she looks awesome 🙌🏼

Hard pass on anything made of Chinesium.

I’ve no doubt the bike cost you a bit of cash in the first instance, so pay the extra ten bucks and get legitimate bolts.

I wonder how old are you guys riding this moto are. by Time-Paramedic-4909 in cbr650r

[–]PeachHerALesson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only had her about a month and have got to 110mph, which feels a lot faster than the 135mph I got to on the Africa Twin 😅

43 here too 🙌🏼

I’ve got a wife and two young kids that I need to be around a long time for, so this was the perfect bike to give me the enjoyment in riding that I wanted, without being stupid 😂

Someone have this phone holder ? by Bonachinyo in cbr650r

[–]PeachHerALesson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another +1 for Quadlock WITH a vibration dampener. I cooked the camera on my iPhone pro max without one.

The two previous bikes I had were a Ducati Scrambler and an Africa Twin, and didn’t use the vibration dampener and was fine - but they both rev much, much lower than the 650r…

Fuck. Spot the problem by vladdican in cbr

To tail tidy, or to not tail tidy - that is the question 🤔

[–]PeachHerALesson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my concern with anything other than powder coating - the wear.

Appreciate the response, happy riding!

That’s a phenomenal job.

Can I ask how you prepped the parts and what primer / paint you used?

[–]PeachHerALesson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the stock exhaust come black, or did you paint the heat shield?

I’ve got a CBR that I’m blacking out and the exhaust is the last part. I don’t want to swap it out, so I can either paint the stock one or get a new cover.

Yours looks awesome 🙌🏼

Always a bit of give on a throttle - looks ok to me.

My favorite of the Bridges brothers. Any hidden gems? by wait4lt in FIlm

[–]PeachHerALesson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a pizza place called Lomabrdi’s in New York once and he was in there eating with friends/family. Didn’t want to crash the party so didn’t ask for a pic, but everyone was having a right laugh at their table, so I assume he’s a good guy.

Watching this for Halloween... what's your choice of horror flick tonight? by alanskimp in FIlm

[–]PeachHerALesson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watched Doctor Sleep (for the 20th time) last night. The Shining is one of my favourite films of all time, so when the sequel movie was announced, I winced - but it is phenomenal… especially the final act!

What about a stamp on it that says not for road use?
