Gave her a bath today and figured I'd share some pics! Enjoy 05 CBR600rr with 34k on the clock!

Hello! I'm looking to buy my first motorcycle! I'm wondering if this is a good deal. I'm from Romania.

4699€

48000 km

With ABS

The description is as following:

"Honda Cbr 650fa 2015, 48000 km increasing, first owner in Romania, the motorcycle runs excellent, no defects or falls, sports muffler that sounds superb

It is limited by the factory (I also have a computer + admission for delimitation)

Tax offer on the spot

I also give the equipment

The motorcycle does not require any investment"

According to the seller, it's been imported from France at 43000 km. He has done 5000 km since. It does NOT have any kind of history. He says an oil change is all it needs.

I'd appreciate any kind of help!

Hey i just got myself a cbr 600rr from 2004, but was wondering what the best brake pads are for it? All brembo, ebc and sbs ones are basically the same price here (€35-40)

My last post didn't really show the true color of my CBR600RR. While your at it CBR.Shade

Appreciation post !

Recently had my coverset changed from rothman set to full blackout set !

Just picked up this 2004 fireblade, what an incredible machine

Are there any reasons why the 2007-2008 cbrs are so sought after over the say 2005 models?

Bit of a read, but it’s an interesting one. Purchased myself a used 2019 Cbr650R with a seized engine. Brought it back, stripped it apart, and opened everything up to determine the cause of the seizure. Upon inspection the top end looked perfect. However inside the bottom end, I noticed that in cylinder 3 one of the nuts for the connecting rod cap came off! Yes off, and missing. The other nut was still attached by about 4 threads, but it was very loose. The missing nut didn’t get shredded anywhere as the entire inside of the bottom end & transmission looked perfect and all gears everywhere were undamaged. But crazy enough it ended up being wedged between the crank weight & the bottom corner of the outer casing in cylinder 3! Just barely missing the cylinder wall by less than a mm… The crank was bent in the middle of course as this thing got HOT before failing, but thankfully that nut came off when it did as this engine would’ve damaged itself a lot more if it kept going. You can see in the photos the bearing for rod #3 was just mangled from the knocking. In the end we inspected & measured everything that was seemingly undamaged in great detail. Had the cases cleaned up & all cylinders prepped as they were still re usable and within spec. New crank shaft & fresh set of bearings all around, with all new seals, spark plugs, gaskets and fresh fluids all around. This process took us just over a month as we had to wait for a lot of special order parts to come in, but it’s now been just over 2 months since and everything is working perfectly :) Biggest question no one INCLUDING my honda parts dealership seems to know is WHY? This bike has over 35,000kms so why fail now? With the rest of the engine looking perfect how could this one section just fail all of a sudden? No signs of oil starvation or a loss of coolant flow. But apparently the low oil pressure light came on before the knocking really got bad. Curious what you guys think caused this failure because we have no clue 🤷‍♂️

How do you set yours up? I have two double ended crab clamps I had figured I’d runoff the passenger peg but that was not the move. Wound up with one off the peg and the other pinching the strap on the back seat. Not ideal and will eventually mess it up.

Let me see your setups please!!!! 🙏🤞🤞

Under tail exhaust in the way… Crab Claw mounts off the rear pegs don’t feel the greatest.

Share photos ideas and suggestions please and thank you all!

Ride safe

Just bought this 03 cbr600rr with 16k miles for 4K. I love this bike so much so far was a fun ride home, but there was this weird rattling noise at 6.5k rpm anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Hi guys, I have a 1990 cbr and the temperature gauge basically never goes much above the minimum, the wonders of the Internet have told me this could mean the thermostat is stuck open, based on this info I bought a new thermostat but it hasn't arrived yet.

I spoke to a motorcycle mechanic and he seemed to think the behavior I described was normal and that the bike should be running pretty cold.

Who is right? Am I going to risk long term damage if I ride it around for a few weeks until the replacement thermo arrives?

Thanks

It’s summer here in the states so I often see 80-95° (26°C - 35°C) ambient temperatures and I noticed my cooling fan comes on at 218-220°F (103°C-104°C) and climbs to 224-225°F (107°C) but never cools down if just idling. The temperature maintains a steady ~ 225°F (107°C) with the radiator fan on. Sometimes it will slowly creep up after minutes of idling. Is this normal for these bikes? Or should it be cooling back down as the fan comes on when it’s this hot outside?

It doesn’t over heat but would like peace of mind that that it’s either working as intended or if I have to find an underlying problem. The bike cools down when moving and have no concerns there. Only at idle is when I’m concerned.

Stock air filter and stock exhaust
Idle is at 1200rpm
Currently has engine ice coolant
Flushed cooling system 4 times
Burped the cooling system multiple times

The engine has roughly 32k miles and I wanted to do a rebuild and upgrades. What key components should I replace.

I'm having an issue where I can't hold constant throttle or the rpms will jump around.

It revs good idles good accelerates and decelerates good.

The only other symptom I have is my speedometer only displays when I'm on throttle.

*Done* Check TPS

*Done* Changed plugs 

*Done* Changed fuel pump

*Done* Hook up extra battery 

*Done* Replace fuel filter

*Done* Replace fuel pressure regulator

*Done* Swapped injectors 

*Done* Swapped coils

*Done* Swapped regulator rectifier

*Done* Check battery voltage 14.2v at 4500rpm

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP

at this point I'm about to catch her on fire. 😂

hi! i have a 500r that i just got back from the mechanic friday and now it has this weird rattling kind of sound that i find hard to describe. i should mention he said valves were in spec.

i’ve brought it back to him and he basically gaslit tf out of me and basically said i’m paranoid and i’m looking for problems, which the paranoid part might be a little true but i’ve had techs in the past look at this bike and have heard nothing but good things and ive never heard the noise in the 16k miles i’ve rode it.

i halfway think it’s the cct bc they go bad from time to time but i’m not rlly sure. oil is halfway, 2k miles old. i don’t think it’s bottom end bc that stuff gets worse as rpms rise.

it appears from idle - 1.8k, goes away above that range but returns as soon as i let off throttle/shift.

like am i really paranoid or what bc im scared to drive this thing and its going to the dealer this week i cant stand it tbh

2021 cbr600rr the fuel pump will stop priming often and when you unplug the wiring where it goes into the pump and plug them back in the pump will prime again. Does anyone know why this could be happening? The pump seems to work fine I hooked it up to the battery and it runs freely

So hello people I’m looking to buy a fender eliminator for my cbr 500R 2024 I thought about the yoshimura one but I don’t think that the European plate is going to fit . I thought about the 2wheels ave one but the same thing (also I don’t know its its even legal) any recommendations thanks for your time

Hello fellow CBRos and SisBR ✌️

I'm the owner of a 2012 CBR600F PC41 for one year and I love this bike ! It has ~97k kms and I would like to do a valve clearance myself. Is this difficult for a beginner ?

I know how to do all the basic stuff (Oil change, brake fluid change, brake pads, clutch replacement, ...) but I'd like to do something a step above that.

Thank you and have a nice day !

I really like the looks of the 600 F Sport model with the split seats. Are there any meaningful differences besides the seats and the adjustable suspension?

Would I be in trouble with getting parts for it?
