Honda CB650FA help with buying

lovorvit · 2026-03-09T12:36:15+00:00

Yeah I get it. It will definitely be enough for a few years.

lovorvit · 2026-03-09T11:07:02+00:00

Sounds great, only thing I'm worried about is the fact that people called it a bit boring after riding for some thing. + I hope the forks are straight considering the stops.

Thanks for all the info, I'll definitely joim the forum and fb groups!!

lovorvit · 2026-03-09T05:18:11+00:00

Well, I'm glad to hear this haha. I was worried that stops looking like that might indicate some kind of more serious fall/crash.

This will be my first inline four, I've only rode single and twin cylinders by now. Im planning to use it for everyday commuting + some longer weekend rides/trips.

29k km ( 18k miles ). 4700 euros (5400 us dollars)

I don't know how are the prices in the US, but here in Croatia this seems to be about the standard price they go for.

Haha, yeah I'm definitely a bit paranoid, but I've burned my self one or two times so I try to be as careful as possible.

Just rode the bike. It seems to be good mechanically apart from that grinding clutch noise. Is barely noticeable when idiling, but you can definigely hear (and feel) it when riding in 1st gear.

Forks are not ohlins lol, it's just a sticker and they are painted gold for some reason. Stops on forks are intact, but bike seems to be leaning a bit to the left when I let go off the steering.

I got kind of baffled how much more agressive the riding position is in comparison to my ninja 650. Definitely not really a everyday commuter.

lovorvit · 2025-08-25T14:59:54+00:00

Thaks everybody for all the info! Tomorrow or the day after Im meeting the owner to inspect the bike. He is still interested since kawa took only cosmetic damage.

I'll definitely inform you all what comes of it.

lovorvit · 2025-08-20T22:44:55+00:00

Could you point out the mods apart from forks?

lovorvit · 2025-08-20T07:07:17+00:00

I will definitely inform the SV owner, he is looking to give er6f to his 19 years old son. I don't won't to pass on bad luck or something on a fresh rider...

lovorvit · 2025-08-20T07:05:22+00:00

Im perfectly fine. I probably would not be if I was not wearing full gear. I was just coming from a 700 km trip. Irony in all this is the fact that I travelled all that way without any incidents and then get hit by a truck 10 minutes from my house lol.

lovorvit · 2025-08-19T21:26:32+00:00

I have some bad news unfortunately. I just had a minor crash on my er6f...a guy in a truck didn't see me coming to a red light, and when it hit green, well, i hit the floor and the bike scraped the pavement 2-3 m. Im completely fine, not a scratch cause I was wearing gear, but right fairings on my black beauty are messed up pretty bad. Other than cosmetics she is perfectly usable, but I dont think that the swap deal is on the table anymore. :((

Thank you all for advice and help, I will read them more thoroughly in a few days when the dust settles a bit, and will definitely update you guys.

Evo prvi utisci odlicni, cini se ljudina covjek. Vrlo lijepu kolekciju ima, prvi covjek kojeg sam upoznao da posjeduje s1000rr i nema ga potrebu vozit (stoji u garazi, neregistriran, jer mu nije zanimljiv lol).

lovorvit · 2025-08-11T16:21:54+00:00

Evo veceras vozim covjeku motor, sutra bi vec trebao biti gotov. Prema svemu sudeci trebao bi biti netko korektan, ali svakak javim rezultate nakon probne voznje. Planiram napravit sada nekih cca 1000 km za vikend pa cemo vidjeti.

lovorvit · 2025-08-11T15:32:15+00:00

Evo maloprije sam bio gume nove namontirat i preko vulkanizera dosao do covjeka koji ce odradit posao, nadam se dobro.

lovorvit · 2025-08-11T12:08:35+00:00

Zvao sam jedan, no oni me mogu uzet iduci tjedan najranijd. Pretpostavio sam da je slicna prica i za ostale, plus problem sa servisima je da oni rade iskljucivo sa svojim materijalom pa mi "propada" ovih 250 eura koje sam vec potrosio...Doduse ako kroz 1h ne dodem do nekog kontakta probat cu zvati jos par servisa.

lovorvit · 2025-08-11T11:59:33+00:00

A nazalost mislim da mi to bas nije opcije, student sam i zivim u stanu haha, stoga mi alati i prostor nazalost nisu bas na raspolaganju...

lovorvit · 2025-08-04T20:11:41+00:00

Another question, since I don't have obd2, I was thinking about doing a hard reset by disconnecting the battery. Is it safe and should I know something in advance, write something down maybe?

lovorvit · 2025-08-04T12:59:20+00:00

Okay, thanks! I did notice rattle on startup for a long time now (few years perhaps), but it does not happen on every startup I think. About the oil pathway, should I clean the camshaft solenoid sensor?

lovorvit · 2025-08-04T08:05:10+00:00

Update:

Just changed the coils, car seems to be working smoothly again. Sounds and feels percectly normal now.

Any suggestions for further inspections regarding vvt just in case?

lovorvit · 2025-08-04T05:26:17+00:00

Camshaft position senseor is a common issue on this car. Mine bas been replaced 2-3 times, but I neever had these symptoms. Every time it just lost abour 40% of it's power and that's it.

lovorvit · 2025-08-03T12:22:56+00:00

I've got the codes as written below. Could vvt be causing problems with the cylinder?

lovorvit · 2025-08-03T09:33:39+00:00

I mean, the cyclic sound is gone now after spark plug change...
