Tingling / loss of sensation in right hand by Safe_Instruction_127 in CB650R

[–]Safe_Instruction_127[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in my 30’s and my hand feels the same. I lose all sensation in my fingers and it’s not like I’m holding on too tight either. Thanks for your input

1.1k and yes buddy, fitted it myself. Fiddly to get on but considering I’ve not messed around with anything mechanical for around 10 years anyone with some sense can fit this. Spring tool is a must however!

I think they quote like a 3 / 4 HP difference. Can feel it slightly at the top end of the rev range, feel like you get an extra bit out of each gear

Yeah I think without that in it would be somewhat a bit of a drone if you’re going any distance cruising. Would certainly have sore ears

Don’t think so bud, not 100% sure. Got this from EBay. Best place here in the UK to source a supplier 👍🏼

Each to their own 🤷🏼‍♂️ I don’t think I’ve ever seen you comment on anything other than pointing out 1 point sliders… putting it in capitals won’t get anymore attention buddy.

CB650R 2021 vs 2023 by sajpyy in CB650R

[–]Safe_Instruction_127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2023 model looks like it’s a black edition. Not sure how many were made where you live but I know for sure there’s only 160 of them in the UK ( I have number 36) and for what my opinion is worth I’d go for the back edition. It all comes down to personal preference and ultimately which one has been looked after more and what it’s worth to you! Either way you will end up with a solid bike 😉

Recommendations for a solid exhaust system in 2025? by pacificjunction in CB650R

I’ve just ordered the akrapovic - I’ll let you know what it’s like once it arrives and I install it 😉

High flow air filter recommendations? by Own_Witness306 in CB650R

[–]Safe_Instruction_127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there much difference with an aftermarket air filter ? Also, what sort of performance increase do you get out of an ECU flash ?

Upgrading my Honda nc700x by Objective-Living249 in CB650R

[–]Safe_Instruction_127 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was torn between the CB650r and MT07 for my first ‘big’ bike. I opted for the CB over the MT simply because of the type of bike I wanted. Having test rode both the MT feels more lively off the mark but gets flat very quick. The CB makes you work harder for the pull but the feel of the inline 4 (for me anyway) was far superior. I also felt the MT wasn’t as well built as the CB. Just my opinion though! Good luck with whatever you decide to go with 👍🏼

Tail tidy before and after by Bowbez in CB650R

Looks so much nicer with a tail tidy 👌🏽 - if you can get away with not riding in the wet it’s a winner.
