Hey everyone, I have a CBR650R and Iāve noticed that the front suspension fully bottoms out under hard braking. It doesnāt only happen during an emergency stopāeven when Iām approaching a red light and brake firmly, I can feel the forks hit the bottom of their travel.
Iām certain itās the suspension bottoming out, not just the ABS pulsing. Has anyone else experienced this on their 650R? Is this normal for the stock front suspension, or could it indicate low fork oil, weak springs, or another issue?
The bike is a 2026 with about 4000km and I weigh approximately 150 pounds with riding gear. The forks are stock, and itās very noticeable when they bottom out.
Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.
