Things I hate about CB650F/CBR650F

[Erep]

I'm sure we like our bikes we didn't buy if not but there are some things that you don't like or can be better

For me the things that I don't like of my bike CBR version
1.-The suspension, this bike is the predecessor of CBR600F with fully adjustable suspension and the 650 only have precharge in rear suspension
2.-The plastic of the tail, my bike before 650 are a CBR125R, that bike had 2 horns so that passenger could grab -> https://www.rg-racing.com/images/Products/large/img2441_4.jpg
And the plastic seems a little weak...
3.-The turn lights and plate light are normal bulbs, it was so expensive to put all led lights?
4.-About the instrumentation I miss the engine temperature and I like to see the gear but for that I gonna buy a gipro
5.-The rubber on foot pegs, I had in the 125, with time and weight they end up spoiling

Yes,there is a lot of things we change to make the bike fit our needs. There is just no perfect bike out there.
I have changed many things on my bike and i am loving it now. Honda needs to wake up to some of the changes
that really should be on every honda like engine temp,oil qty and the stupid water gauge that's so hard to see. If
you want to see weak plastic or weak anything just park your bike next to a chinese bike,it's a joke but they are cheap!

I modded mine the first year so now it’s just what I would buy new. Upgraded windscreen, suspension, levers, etc.

The only thing I find at the minute that annoys me is the position of the foot pegs whenever I go to put the stand down.

The rubber in the footpegs is actually designed to assist with vibration. It is hollow, which is why it flattens..it can be changed though. The comfort levels provided buy OEM are much better than the aftermarket ones, even the PUIGs with rubber, which is only stuck onto the metal peg below. Try disassembling one to see what you actually have there, you'll be quite surprised, they are very well engineered.

Funny you should say bobstrax, I have had my aftermarket rear set [with no rubber in the pegs] on for over
2 years now and i feel much less vibs. in the pegs.Being able to adjust the angle to fit my feet in shifting might have something
to do with it? It sure feels better than the stock rear set with rubber pegs.

Mmmh each to their own, if I had a CBR and was engaged in "spirited riding" I'd probably fit proper rearsets but only because of riding position and constantly moving feet/body. As it is I'm too old for that shit now so comfort etc all play their part. I don't suffer any Peg vibes at all fortunately. As I said the OEM units are specifically designed the way they are for a reason and my size 11's love the comfort
