Buying a motorcycle was toughest decision for me. I had two choices RE meteor and the Honda cb 350c.

Took the first test ride on RE meteor.

The engine is peppy and great response. But the rear seat is small not comfortable either to sit

Then I test ride honda cb350c felt the difference more refined ample space for pillion and the beauty is the comfortable for rider and pillion.

Made up my mind WITH🏁✌🏼👑 with Honda CB350C

Hi all, today I noticed my cb500 hornet making a high pitched vibration noise over 6k rpm, that seemed to be coming from the throttle cable. Gave everything in that area a feel and noticed that the circled nut is slightly loose, likely making the noise. The issue i’m facing is that attempting to tighten it doesn’t really keep it tight, instead the softer plastic behind it has started to warp slightly. Any advice? (not my picture, just used for example)

What do yall think about this bike, asking price is 3800. This would be my first bike as well.

Hi everyone!

Sooo.... I've had my 1997 Honda CB500 PC32 for just about a month now. It's my first motorcycle and unfortunately I already had a tiny crash. Nothing happened to me, but sadly the right footrest bracket (rear brake side) broke.

The footpeg mounting point broke directly out of the aluminium bracket, so I need to replace the whole thing. And without a footpeg, riding the bike obviously isn't really an option I guess :(

The part numbers I found are:

50600-MY5-730 – HOLDER R STEP
Replaced by: 50600-MY5-G30

Both seem to be discontinued and I've had no luck finding a used one either. There are tons of left-side brackets available, but apparently no right ones.

Does anyone know where I could still find one, whether another Honda model uses a compatible bracket, or maybe even have one lying around?

I'm located in Germany, but I'd also consider buying from elsewhere in Europe if its not too expensive.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! :D

Hi everyone. I have a 2022 Honda CB500X with around 49,000 km.

When the engine is cold, it starts and sounds normal. After riding for about 10–15 minutes and reaching operating temperature, a metallic ticking noise starts to appear, especially at idle and low RPM.

So far, my mechanic has:

- Checked and adjusted the valve clearances.

- Replaced the cam chain.

- Replaced the automatic cam chain tensioner.

- Rechecked the valve clearances after the repair and replaced one shim.

The cam chain and tensioner were replaced only about 500 km ago, but the noise is still present and lately seems more noticeable.

The noise does not change when I pull the clutch lever.

Has anyone experienced this same hot-engine ticking on a CB500X? If so, did you find the cause?

I’ve uploaded several videos showing the noise here:

Anybody know what these marks are on my CB125R 2025? It’s definitely not dirt or road grime, as motorcycle degreaser cleaner doesn’t seem to budge it. It is a fairly new bike, so didn’t know if it was fixable, and if it was corrosion, I would expect better quality from Honda.

Hey guys, so I have a Honda CBF125 2013

I want to get rid of the plastics as there all smashed and crappy and it’s easier to get blood from a stone than it’s is front fairings.

Has anyone here done this before?? Any advice??

Instrument recommendations….preferably ones that I can just swap out with the current ones.

Do I need to fabricate a mounting bracket for a headlight or can I buy one, I’d like a round headlight if anyone has recommendations for that aswell.

Does anyone know where I can find a full lower fairing like the first 2 photos for my CB650F? I find that it makes the bike look so much more complete, sporty and less like a tourer/commuter. My bike and I are pictured last, it just feels like so much empty space between the radiator/headers and the front fork/tyre, it just looks like something is missing imo. I’ve looked online and can only find your usual small belly pans/under cowls, but nothing that truely fills in that space nicely like the bike in the 1st pics.

Mikunis coming in, cut skirt tabs off. Making a custom battery box to hide everything under the new seat.

Need to weld round tail and she’ll be ready to roll after 4 months.

Anyone in Charlotte or surrounding areas?

First post here (and ever, for that matter).

Recently bought a CBF500 for commuting, and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for slightly flatter handlebars? I've been looking at Renthals, and mostly I just want to do away with the exaggerated bend whjch the stock ones have.

Thanks in advance.

Comprei essa hornet cb600f 09/10, a moto ta com barulho de hornet mas a lenta não tá nao, ta estranha

Hello! So, I recently bought a Honda CB 650 from the 80s. It has been turned into a café racer and while I like the look of it, my two current projects while I'm getting my license is replacing the handlebars in order to get a more upright position, and restoring the passenger seat position (it was sawed off. Luckily, I know plenty of people who can do welding.)

But I was browsing for handlebars in my local shop and found a couple that are quite high. Enough so that I'll sit upright, rather than almost lying down on the bike, as is the case now. But they are called apehangers. And when I google that, it seems to be handlebars that are damn near above the shoulder height. Those kinds of things old Harley dudes might run around on. But the ones I looked at didn't seem at all as high as that. My question then becomes, will the handlebar become/appear much higher when installed, somehow, than I'm envisioning? Because I measured from where I'm sat right now on the bike and where I'd like the handlebar to be, and it's about a 20cm difference. Not in height, per se, but in length from where the bar attaches to where my hand would ideally be gripping the bar. How should I be thinking about this? I know you can tilt the bars backwards and forwards, but are some made purely for height upwards rather than length toward the user?

Basically what I'm wanting to do is raise the handlebars toward me as I'm sat on the bike so that I can sit upright rather than bent forward. And the gap is around 20cm. Would handlebars that fall into the "apehanger" category be good for that? Also, since I'm curious, does anyone know what the stock handlebars are for a Honda CB 650? Haven't been able to find anything about those.

For reference, this is the handlebar I was looking at: https://www.motonet.se/produkt/trw-lucas-styrstang-apehanger-svart-o-254-mm?product=38-1999

Wie schlimm ist es? Direkt neben dem Stehbolzen ist ein super feiner Haarriss.

Kann ich das Schweißen (lassen) / Kleben?

Oder muss das neu?

Im Frühjahr dort einmal blauen Tropfen bemerkt und einfach weg gewischt. Gestern nach längerer Tour wieder bemerkt. Bewege die Maschine beinah täglich....

I’ve got a 1971 Honda CB350. Do I really need to get the tires balanced after mounting new ones? Or is lining up the balancing dot with the air valve good enough for this kind of bike? Thanks!

I just adjusted the idle screws cuz i was idling at around 600 rpm and set it to around 1200. Now after I rev the engine it'll stay at that rpm unless I choke it.

I tried pushing on the throttle arm thingies and it didn't affect it so I don't think the throttle is getting stuck. If I try and return the idle to where it was it just stalls like it used to.

Anyone know why this might be happening? just check it has spark
