    All 650's Fat tyres

    Has anyone put a wider tyre on the back? Something like 200/55/17? I know it will slightly affect the gearing but it's got enough power for me, it might get the speedo to read a bit closer to actual speed.

    CB650R Puncture 😬

    Hi all Bit of advice if you can help please? Just found this screw lodged in my back tyre! Was hoping it was just a stubby job but unfortunately it's about an inch long. Tried removing it but began to hear air escaping, so screwed it back in. Questions, if it holds overnight do you reckon I'd be...

    CBR650F Tire Choice

    Hi All, I currently am using Diablo Rosso II as I track my bike about twice a month but also use it for long haul weekend rides and commuting. I find the Rosso's are wearing fast and I'm already replacing them after just putting them on in June. What tires are you using and have you found any...

    CBR650F You reckon this will be fixable?

    It's a fairly small nail inside the tread. Not sure if it actually fully punctured the tyre. It's only 6000km old so I was hoping to get some more distance out of it.

    CB650R Standard Metzler tyres

    Hi all, what’s people’s opinions of the standard metzler roadtecs that come fitted on the Cb650r? I am wondering if people find the profile a little square In comparison to something more sporty just after some opinions and experience in changing them?

    CB650R New tyres

    After flattening off my Metzeler rear tyre and also the quite severe cupping of my front tyre I’ve decided to go back to the old faithful Pirelli angel gt2 front and rear as these were amazing on my old bike and lasted 8000 miles with hardly any flattening.

    I'm back to re-balancing my front tire. I've been getting a slight wobble at around 45 mph. Nothing major and the bike rides fine at higher and lower speeds. When I remove my hands the bars go back and forth by about 1/2" or less. My question...judging by these two pictures, if you were facing...

    CB650R Tyre recommendations?

    Hi all, My rear tyre is getting low and will need replacing in a few hundred miles or so. I currently have the factory fitted Roadtec 01's. What do people think is a good tyre upgrade or is it worth sticking with the Roadtec 01's? I mainly ride in dry conditions so I'm not too fussed on wet...

    All 650's Tyre comparison.

    Fitted a pair of Pirelli Angel ST'S so I thought I would give you my comparison to D222 front and RS2 rear. This is subjective and my opinion only. I mans meat is another mans poison. I got on very well with the dunlops, I certainly would not remove them until worn out. Good dry...
