r/CB650R

Vibration through my feet and hands were really getting on my nerves and after my buddy had disassembled his cbr300r donor bike for a 300cc grom swap we tried them out and vibration was totally eliminated. Not super visually appealing but feels great!

I need to get liquid gasket quick and it won’t ship in time, I can get Loctite 5980 quick gasket from a store, would that work or not please give me advise on others if this gasket is a no.

What do you guys recommend for battery tender charger for cb650r 2026 e clutch model?

Four years and plenty of good memories but the time has come to move on. Bittersweet last rip on her this evening before I trade for a CB 1000GT tomorrow. Farewell little CB, you were a great servant.

I originally joined and posted in this group when first getting my bike asking for advice with upgrades and add ons and wanted to show an updated post.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions some were definitely taken into account and this is where I’m currently at.

Pretty happy to say it’s not far from finished now.

M27 from Netherlands here, got my license about 3 weeks ago and a few weeks before that I picked up my CB650R.

Mods done so far:

- Akrapovic exhaust
- Frame Sliders
- Rear Pillion
- Shortened Plate Holder

Many more to come. (First up the mirrors)

Has anyone installed the Impaktech crash cage on their cb650r eclutch? How difficult/easy was it and what torque specs did you use for the mounting points? I would love to have a discussion with yall about this

Thanks in advance!

I always use Motul or WD40 products to clean and lube my chain.

Today I found a broken O ring when I parked at home.

I don't even go by kilometers. When I see it is a bit dry or dirty I do the maintenance with care.

This picture is from today while cleaning it before lubing.

The chain has 7700km (stock).

Is it a bad quality chain? Or just bad luck?

I posted recently about NEEDING one of these machines, not wanting one. On Thursday afternoon this black beauty arrived and I’m sooo happy I pulled the trigger.

Happy to say I think I now have the perfect stable, coupled with keeping my Svartpilen 125 I think these two should see me good for a long time.

Anyone here has ever installled Givi Stealth side mount for this E-clutch model?

Planning to install one as I love how discreet it looks and I feel it can also act as a grip holder to move the bike around.

Ty have a great weekend y'all ✌🏻

Would like to get some tips and all, its my first bike.

And I'm really looking into some front fenders, anyone know of some fitting the 2025 model?

Hey, I’m going shopping for my new bike Monday, and I’m pretty set between these two models. The 2026 CB750 Hornet and the 2026 CB650R.

The main factors I’m considering are Engine, Features, and Aesthetics.

I’m a 6’4 rider with a 34 inch inseam. Sitting on either bike is comfortable, but as it’s my first ride I don’t really know whether or not a certain amount of knee bend or lean becomes unsustainable on hour+ rides. I’m trying to use this bike as a daily commuter on my 10 mile route equally split between the interstate and traffic-light city roads. On the weekends my father and I are planning to do larger scale rides, around a couple hours. Neither of us have any inclination to push the bikes harder than the speed limit, except in passing scenarios.

Engine-wise, The 750 is a parallel twin while the 650 is an inline-4. I believe this means the 750 handles city riding better and is cheaper overall. I’ve also heard that parallel twins are easier to service. The 650’s inline-4 appears to handle easier on the interstate and at higher speeds, but I’ve also seen a lot of people say the bike has problems with vibration at 6k rpm. I know there’s a strong culture around inline-4’s and the quality of their sound. I personally don’t care about this.

Both bikes are very similar with the Honda E-Clutch tech, which I love as the only bike adjacent thing I’ve ridden was the automatic scooter I would rent when I lived in Asia. The main difference between the bikes is that the 650 is throttle by cable, and the 750 is throttle by wire. This means the 750 can automatically rev match when shifting, and also introduces ride modes to the bike. For someone who’s only rode automatic, I really love the ease of use that comes from the E-Clutch TBW combo, but maybe I’m overestimating how difficult rev matching is. The 750 also comes with Roadsync, but I’ve heard this software is trash anyway. I just like that it’s integrated into the machine for aesthetics and simplicity.

Aesthetically, hands down I love the 650 so much more. I think it’s a beautiful bike, and while the 750 isn’t exactly an ugly ride, the colorway of the black with the gold trim is just so sexy to me.

Engine: Undecided, need a test ride.

Features: CB750 unless I decide TBW is inconsequential to my riding experience.

Aesthetics: CB650R all the way, but the 750 isn’t an ugly ride.
