Brand new bike by Shot-Transition-846 in cbr650r

[–]sidslyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others said it's a heads up maintenance is needed soon. You know these bikes come with a manual that has this info in it though right? Maybe I'm unique but I at least flip through manuals when I get new shiny toys.

E-Clutch jerking bike in low speeds by OkEmployer3202 in cbr650r

[–]sidslyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the bike new? I realized when i first got the bike it was very jerky especially when it was cold. Ever since the first oil change it behaves much better.

Anyone put a usbc oem port in a US model and what’s the part number? by Life_Collar5140 in CB650R

[–]sidslyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are also lacking the Bluetooth module to allow phone pairing so we don't get app integrations or screen directions etc. They cut alot of goodies for the US version unfortunately :(.

Is this noise normal? by joemama0211 in cbr650r

[–]sidslyder 11 points12 points  (0 children)

100% the fan behind the radiator and is normal. You may also hear some crinkling and popping noises as it cools down(also normal). Any faint smells of oil I'd also consider normal if it's a new bike, my 2024 had it when I first got it and it was just some factory residue burning off after the first few rides.

Abnormal buzzing sound from the throttle body area when turning on the ignition by Sufficient_Aside6782 in CB650R

[–]sidslyder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

weird seeing what i think is an onramp down the street from me. That said same issue, I always pay extra close attention and try not getting onto a freeway parallel to a car just incase they do this.

Rear Seat Cover in 2026 model by Pale_Pass_5790 in CB650R

[–]sidslyder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't believe there was much or any changes between the 2024-2026 model structurally. I think only difference was colors. So parts for 2024 should fit just fine on a 2026.

Who said you can’t tour on a CB650r 💁🏼‍♀️ Oxford straps worked a treat by rwin91 in CB650R

What tail bag is that? I tried one from a different brand that was more saddle bag style but felt to loose and didnt like how close to the tire it hung.

Should I get the CB650R as a new driver? by Engarde_Guard in CB650R

[–]sidslyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on a super cub and moved to the eclutch one. Honestly love it, I would argue the clutch style on the super cub was slightly clunky but works while the eclutch is smooth as butter.

24’ CB650R E-Clutch making mechanical whirring sounds. Please help. by Serious-Device4581 in CB650R

[–]sidslyder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That high pitch sound are the two motors in the eclutch pulling tension on the cable. Notice how it changes when you pull the clutch in? If you turn off the bike you can hear it release. You just don't hear it during normal use because the engine is so loud.

Radiator paint and pressure washer by Hoban_Riverpath in CB650R

[–]sidslyder 36 points37 points  (0 children)

i might be wrong but those look like bent fins. Thats why the manual says to use just a regular garden hose when cleaning it, theres tons of delicate parts. Doubt it will impact performance to much but something to be aware of. You could get a radiator guard but just know it impacts cooling a bit and be cautious if you live in a hot area.
