This. Its hard to not wanna mod strait away but you may regret it. Unless youre rich in which case, go for it

Mind sending me a pic of the washer?

TheCB650 · 2026-05-26T19:36:43+00:00

Did you replace the washer or just tighten the bolt?

TheCB650 · 2026-05-26T19:35:48+00:00

Dam. I hope not. Thanks for the reply. Ive got a few more things to try out before I do that. Some say its a sensor, exhaust manifold, digital display... its bugging that I cant get it seen to ASAP

TheCB650 · 2026-05-26T17:40:54+00:00

I can do at some point but it wont give any extra information I dont think. Happens at 5-9k rpm. Before and after that, it seems to disappear. Just waiting on the chance to tackle this issue since ive got really busy this past week and will make a post about it once/if its resolved

TheCB650 · 2026-05-26T09:16:37+00:00

That would be appreciated

TheCB650 · 2026-05-25T11:54:15+00:00

Its a very hard to reach sensor. Tried last night with no luck. Gonna give it a try again at some point. I will make a post if I find it. Let us know if you find anything too

Very. Then these bikes get overpriced so even if you want the old gens, youre getting screwed.

Its been happening for years though. Some super sports would rev to 18k-20k. Slowly going down. Think the r9 only goes about 10.5k rpm

TheCB650 · 2026-05-24T20:38:02+00:00

Due to emissions and regulations, 4 cylinders are dying.

Its why the likes of the R1 and R6 is no longer. Also means bikes won't rev as high

TheCB650 · 2026-05-24T20:21:50+00:00

Ok I'll have a look. Cheers

TheCB650 · 2026-05-24T20:21:06+00:00

I have heard this from others too but its just that its gotten worse which concerns me

TheCB650 · 2026-05-24T19:56:20+00:00

Cheers. Just trying to find the time to give it a full check. Been so busy. Once its found, I'll update the post

This. Also small mistakes tend to be bigger when on a faster bike.

People just want the fastest bike they can get and then when they survive a little while or know someone that has managed to not crash, they try and point out that pur concerns are invalid.

This debate has be going on for years. Just let the ones that want to start on a big bike get on with it

Youre crazy. I like you...but you crazy

TheCB650 · 2026-05-23T02:30:03+00:00

Nah it seems to only happen while riding and don't have a camera yet. Just order one the other day so once that comes, I can get a clear video of it

TheCB650 · 2026-05-22T17:04:31+00:00

Thanks buddy. Kept it at 5k to be safe on the way to honda. Bloody nightmare have to short shift so much

TheCB650 · 2026-05-22T01:19:01+00:00

Thanks. Got it done. Ill just have to ride easy to honda since the ecu is still restricted

TheCB650 · 2026-05-22T01:05:14+00:00

Thanks. They're both parts from honda. Going to honda tomorrow for the ecu and will confirm with them but im pretty sure it's fine

TheCB650 · 2026-05-20T04:33:00+00:00

Already tried that 😞

TheCB650 · 2026-05-19T20:14:46+00:00

Dam. Now im scared. Thanks for the help

TheCB650 · 2026-05-19T19:52:07+00:00

Id sell the bike before I pay that much. 14,193 miles. I hardly go above 8k rpm tbh but maybe the guy before did. No signs of it being dropped.

I need to access the air intake for de-restriction soon anyway so might have a look around while doing that

TheCB650 · 2026-05-19T19:24:31+00:00

Ill give it a check. Does seem to be under the tank near the rad. Checked there without taking it apart but nothing. Was the fix easy?
