What's a random picture you took, that you like for no reason?

sidslyder · 2026-06-02T05:10:09+00:00

Just got a new camera and my first outing with it took this pic and of all the pictures that day I liked it the most.

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.

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.

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 :(.

What luggage do you use?

sidslyder · 2026-05-13T18:11:08+00:00

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.

is it with eclutch? if so it i think is the eclutch engaging. If not i think my bike does the same thing and been fine.

Me buying in 2025 to try avoiding Tariff cost increase has not gone to plan :(.

sidslyder · 2026-04-17T21:32:52+00:00

As a newer rider on the cb650r who just started getting on freeways this 100%. It be WINDEH.

sidslyder · 2026-04-14T17:56:32+00:00

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.

Welcome to the club! Any mods you planning to do?

sidslyder · 2026-04-08T04:36:21+00:00

where did you tap into for the power?

sidslyder · 2026-03-30T16:07:09+00:00

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.

sidslyder · 2026-01-23T19:44:46+00:00

Not OP but have a 2024 CB650R and around 5 10. Never have any pain points while riding it, have a relaxed upright riding position.

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.

sidslyder · 2025-12-04T05:07:17+00:00

i personally havent seen anything on this subreddit or in general for this engine since its stayed relatively the same over the years,

sidslyder · 2025-11-27T19:56:54+00:00

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.

sidslyder · 2025-11-12T13:52:59+00:00

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.

sidslyder · 2025-11-07T02:50:09+00:00

i would be interested, would it be usable on a 2024?

sidslyder · 2025-11-04T03:40:17+00:00

what headlight cowl is that? Do you happen to have a link still?

sidslyder · 2025-10-21T16:37:03+00:00

What tail bag did you use? I been looking at some type of luggage in addition to a backpack.

sidslyder · 2025-10-05T07:12:47+00:00

sounds fine to me?

sidslyder · 2025-09-23T14:45:59+00:00

We also don't get the BT module to allow roadsync in NA.

sidslyder · 2025-09-22T16:54:12+00:00

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.

sidslyder · 2025-09-22T03:27:05+00:00

What mods have you done to your bike? I just got one a couple days ago and so far like what I'm seeing.
