After watching many videos with instalation of different aftermarket exhaust I concluded that the cost of these full exhaust systems are worth only if you run the motorcycle without db-killer + remap and you benefit from a sport, rasp, deep sound that makes you feel you ride a true sport motorcycle. With the db-killer in the sound is a little better than stock and I don't think I would spend almost a grand for just a little better. The weight reduction though is consistent, this is quite a good benefit.
True.... I feel the same way but please keep this in mind if your considering one..... LOUD PIPES do not save lives.... practice, quality gear dose Cheers
Loud pipes make a huge difference if someone changes lanes on you or not. Sorry but I’m 52 years old and been riding since I was 16. Many bike with and without loud pipes. Huge difference!
oh wow i am no where near close to your riding experience.... thats for sure... and as some may see on my channel all the bikes i owned not including just one of them all had loud pipes i started to see how loud pipes didn't help with the one bike that didn't have loud pipes cars was still the same ya know hey cheers to many more years on two wheels
Man, i was hesitating between CBR650r and Kawa ninja 650r... And i am now 100% sold on that CBR.. and i'll go red. Also, i just dicovered your channel and i subbed. Good work my dude ! P.S loving the mods. I'll take out these stickers too hehe !

Yea yea your going to love the bike for me it's the best in its class the power is there and it's a high roving bike once u past 8k it's a mean machine lol

Make sure you do a PAIR valve delete along with a proper dyno tune now with the aftermarket exhaust on any bike. Also, I would always wear gloves when doing an exhaust install. Oils from your skin will etch into the pipes when they warm up. Leaves basically Permanent finger prints
I can't find a pair valve block off for this bike.. I looked umm I was thinking PCV cause tuning shop where I live are costly and dont know many tuning shops other places. On gloves your right I did wipe the exhaust with rubbing solution to keep the oils away.... thanks for the heads up
JJMAX2007 awesome! That was one mistake I made on my first bike I ever owned, had oil from my finger prints etched into the dam pipes. That was annoying to look at. I'm always looking for a set of valves, it seems the only available ones are from eBay at about $35. Im going to try contacting some manufacturers or machine shops to see if they can laser cut/water jet cut some plates for me!
Oh wow that would be so dope.... if u ever get some made send me a link I would purchase a set and put the link of where I got it on my channel if u like.... cheers
JJMAX2007 also, mannnnn how did you remove the bar ends lol? The screw that holds OEM bar ends on is like welded on. That shit is so tight idk how to break it loose without an impact driver
11:37 Probably someone already commented to next times, leave the top nuts loose enough so that the second part can be easily connected...and then torque everything to spec.
If you do this, do not remove the silencer as the bike loses a few hurse purrs from the lack of backpressure. Also, yes if you do this, you absolutely should install a Power Vision and get it dyno tuned, otherwise you're pretty much just gimping your bike to make it sound slightly better. However, a good tuner should be able to get you at least a 10% hrspr improvement (personally got 11.25%).
Oh nice, nice I wish I knew this when I owned this bike. Never the less the bike was so much fun to ride what a experience. The power commander made the bike feel just so much more powerful than store ecu set up Cheers
I like the effort you put into your video. I'm going to install an IXIL full exhaust system on my 2020 Cbr650r when my bike is delivered tomorrow. I've got parts sitting all around my garage waiting for a bike... Ha ha. Eventually I'll take it on the autobahn.

Installed mine today. Took around three hours as I have never done an exhaust before. Sounds great but raining outside so test will wait for tomorrow. Have custom tune also so should run good
I have the titanium version of this exhaust, unfortunately ive been told i am unable to remove the baffle which sucks. Lovey lookinf exhaust still! Sounds a bit better than stock.

@@jjmax2007 Thank you for replying. I think there are three bolts that holds the radiator right? So just remove those bolts then I be able to make a gap to fit the header bolts?
The allen screw in my Akrapovic on my CBR650R literally took no effort at all to unscrew. It was tack welded but it was the smallest tack and I cracked it free with one turn. Then it unscrewed all the way perfectly. I used EnglishBikerDan's technique of pushing a threaded rod up inside the DB killer and banged away at the back of it until it came free. Such a shame you had to go through that whole ordeal to get it out.
Yea it sucked taking it out the weld was pretty wide smh ummm I like the way it turned out and the deeper sound it now has plus the pops... oh oh and at high revs there is flames from time to time which looks cool at night from the side just saying

I love your videos and I don’t even have a CBR 650R but you go into great detail on everything you do and that look you gave was priceless. 😀 Keep up the good work. Where did you get your stands from?
Well they get dirt trap more due to filter oil which is way more sticky than the paper that comes with the bike..... since the filter install I clean the filter ever 800 miles sometimes less depending on the way and area I go
I also have install the akrapovic racing system on my cbr 650 f (2016) the sound now is amazing but i notice the bake is more lean and weak now when i’ m accelarating. I don’t know why, maybe i need to install a sport filter and rimap the ECU . Im happy but also disappointed.
Hello friend! Did you install new gaskets for the new exhaust? Do you know the correct side of the gasket ring? I will change my exhaust, but Im not sure the correct side of this gasket ring. They have different shape in both sides. Thank you!
Yes yes the exhaust came with a set and the oem gasket I put aside with the oem exhaust.... vheck the packaging hopefully u didn't trash it yet it might be in the box or the exhaust itself..... sorry for getting to you late Cheers
@@jjmax2007 Thank you! Yeah I got them, I will install next week. Most people here in Brazil reuse the old OEM gaskets, but I don't think its a good idea, they smash completely in and take the shape of the old OEM pipe. Have a great evening and safe rides!
Man i loved your CBR650R videos i have a black one and thinking about a akrapovic exhaust too. Incredible work i respect that a lot brother. Do you ever thought about a 2018 fireblade? It looks very similar but it’s a whole different bike. Greets from Germany!
By many different Installation videos i have watched so far this is probably the best one. Thank you so much for explaining everything in Detail insteed of skipping all the hard Part. I guess after that one each viewer has a overview of all the work 🎉 apreciate that! Greetings from Germany
Hey man i have the same bike with the same exhaust have you changed the coolant on your bike? There's alot more to it than i thought lol and there is no videos on it
Yes I change the coolant to water wetter but did not record it.... it is a lot to it when I went back to edit the video nothing made any understanding so I just didn't post it Cheers
my akra full in coming in a little over two weeks. CANT WAIT. just gottta ask, is there extra parts i need to buy? like gaskets or seal rings or bolts and whatnot? or does akra provide everything you need? ALSO, so far from what ive seen on your video...you need a 5mm hex head, 10mm socket, 12 mm socket and sort of long hook to reattach the springs
1. No everything u need is coming with the exhaust... 2. U will need something to remove the O2 sensor and than thats it but the tools listed is a good start tho.... cheers
hey how did u set the two orange leds to stay fixed ? In Europe those are blinking lights, did u modify them or do they come like that OEM because of US specs ?
Oh yes yea I have a dyno video coming soon stay tune for that and I also have a top speed run sort of well on the visor install video I got a top speed of I think 139 or 141 I dont remember the video and those speed I dont want to look down but after the exhaust install I feel hear and see a difference in speed and power.... once the bike is tuned or refreshed OMG watch out, watch out, watch out!!!! Lol
Beautiful bike! I'm gonna buy it in the next months hopefully. I was wondering where did you get the black clutch and rear-brake pedals? I don't like the rubber stock ones! Thanks
Oh awesome welcome to the cbr650r life... umm I have e a playlist of all modifications on my channel and a video for the clutch and brake check them out the link is in the videos just like the link for the exhaust is for this video in the description
@@jjmax2007 I came back to your video again because I wanted to see how you put those headers on. That must have been a nightmare. I upgraded mine after having it for 2 days last week, but my headers were a single unit (IXIL) which made it "easier" to install as I didn't have any of those springs on the headers. I do have the exhaust on the side, but I have to say that it looks and sounds very nice! Now after all the changes I made to it, I just have to put the first mile on it... ha ha ha. Servus from Bavaria and thanks!
Oh snap that's awesome glad to have helped with the video the spring was the one part I wish I knew going in cause I was fighting with the header then I was like no no no there has to be a better way and when I took off the header and installed one at a time the bolt would not go on and the spring stay in place so yea my struggles for ur smooth process
Yes yes it is I'm 6'2 and I fit pretty good but don't go by my sayings head over to the nearest dealer and throw a leg over a few different types to get a feel for the type of bike you may like. This is a great bike tho if your thinking of this one so many mods for it easy to learn on great on gas and style is just next level Cheers
I'm not sure how to answer like that are you saying the side base on sotting on the bike or facing the front of the bike i always get confused when someone ask me sorry
@@jjmax2007 so do you first install the clutch lever side first or the brake lever side cause i managed to snap the little clip on the fairing that goes next to the headlight.
Just ordered mine today. I'm wondering if I'll be able to do the install as well. I'm wondering if I should install without the DB. Once installed do you think the DB can be removed? Also with the little hole in the exhaust does it have to be sealed back up or you can leave the hole there
Yea yea you can always take it out it's just you have to take the muffler off the bike in order to do so.... some may not like the task.... just saying. I would say try it with it in cause the way I took mine out I can not put mine back lol
@@jjmax2007 yea ill ride with it in, see what it sounds like. I'm sure it's much better than the stock exhaust. Please post up the difference when you get the power commander. I will be doing my exhaust install in about 2 weeks. Would love to know the difference with the proper tuning.
It's only available in the US. European models don't have the option. You can tell because there are only 2 wires going to the indicators of the European version (I have a UK CBR650R). The US version has three wires which keeps them lit like daytime running lights. Contrary to this, the European CB650R has the indicators on all the time as it's the 'naked' version so provides more visibility.
Hey, why did you get rid of the CBR650R? I'm curious because I plan on getting the bike in the next couple of months. In your opinion, what's the pros and cons of the CBR650R?
Nothing is wrong with the bike I recommend the bike to anyone.... pros everything easy to work on is to get parts for easy to service 😌 great power and ease to ride cons maybe a weak front rim but that is for speed lol
I have gone to a dyno the video after this one on a playlist on my channel that shows the hp check it out and by the way the bike is not tuned.... when you side it its called dyno day cbr650r
What do you mean with 'how much maintenance that high performance air filter requires'? Every how often do you have to clean it out using compressed air?
Ok so I would ride for 800 miles then have to clean cause of the filter oil this stuff is very sticky and will catch the smallest of dirt and build on that stuff so fast.... if your not careful this dirt and oil will build so much it can clog then there is a restriction of air cause the bike to idle funny or run hot..... i don't even way 800 miles I do it like 300 or 400 miles at the most.... just saying..... cheer and sorry for the delay
I have tried to put the end muffler bit on the exhaust pipes and noticed that my original bracket holes that the muffler gets screwed into have been broken in half. Is there any solution to still mount that muffler. Can I just use zip ties
I removed the dbkiller but then replaced it back agai. after my next long ride. It was silly loud and though it was kinda dumb to make that much noise with a slow bike like this.
@@jjmax2007 just sucks you cant adjust them. I wonder if you could swap them from an old cbr600rr. Like find a 2015+ part out bike and get those forks.
Oh snap you know whats crazy I have been looking at 600rr at my local dealer to see if it would be a even swap but its not the rotors in the front are different and if that is the case then the calipers are different too.... so like things just keep changing lol but I looked into it already it better getting the whole bike than just the whole front end of the 600rr
@@jjmax2007 strange for honda to do that tbh, the amount of recycled parts they used on the 2015/16 1000rr's and the 2017+ 1000rr gen. But there is rumor that they are going to drop a new cbr600rr which might be why they kept the 650 different, that way they could better establish a difference between them.
Oh wow didn't know that... cool stuff... but the honda u say coming out are you talking about the new 2021 600rr?? Cause the 2020 in the states at least is all matted black looks more like the 2019 yr.... I look at that bike every time I go to the dealer with my bike.... but yea
yes thats normal nowadays on most brand new motorcycles. the turning indicators beeing permanently glowing as additional lights for extra visibility. when actually using them to turn left or right they start blinking on that side as per usual
Nice bike bro! I am changing my exhaust as well and the only thing im trying to figure out is how to disconnect the 02 sensor from the Harness. Is there some kind of a clip i have to lift or push on? Your answer will be helpful.
Oh wow I'm so delayed getting to you sorry... yea there is a clip you push on next to the shfter to disconnect the oem o2 sensor... umm ur plan ing to put a auto tune on your bike ??? If your planning to take off the o2 the ecu is going to give you a check engine light.... just saying
JJMAX2007 its ok bro. No i was just changing to a full exhaust and cant figure out how to detach it at first.but its all good now. Next project now will be power commander v and your video was really helpful. I just need to save first to be able to purchase the item.. :)

Yes yes all around better the bike I feel changeds so much and it didn't feel like I was losing power mid range like it was bone stock
Cheers
no needed .
I love your videos and I don’t even have a CBR 650R but you go into great detail on everything you do and that look you gave was priceless. 😀 Keep up the good work. Where did you get your stands from?
Thank u the stand is from Amazon
Amazing vid bro Good job !!!
Oh wow thank you very much I have a playlist on the channel check it out some time......
4:37 anybody saw that bend wheel rim too
Yea yea its bent pretty bad smh I'm sad about it
What happened
Short version a buddy took it for a quick spin!! Smh first time on a sport bike I rather this than his life
Sad to see it, but it happens.
Yes yes...
Hi there. What did you mean at the beginning when you said the aftermarket air intake requires more maintenance?
Well they get dirt trap more due to filter oil which is way more sticky than the paper that comes with the bike..... since the filter install I clean the filter ever 800 miles sometimes less depending on the way and area I go
I also have install the akrapovic racing system on my cbr 650 f (2016) the sound now is amazing but i notice the bake is more lean and weak now when i’ m accelarating. I don’t know why, maybe i need to install a sport filter and rimap the ECU . Im happy but also disappointed.
Oh nooooo..... umm I'm not sure with the f model bikes I know my bike is a different bike with the exhaust just amazing......
Hello friend! Did you install new gaskets for the new exhaust? Do you know the correct side of the gasket ring? I will change my exhaust, but Im not sure the correct side of this gasket ring. They have different shape in both sides. Thank you!
Yes yes the exhaust came with a set and the oem gasket I put aside with the oem exhaust.... vheck the packaging hopefully u didn't trash it yet it might be in the box or the exhaust itself..... sorry for getting to you late
Cheers
@@jjmax2007 Thank you! Yeah I got them, I will install next week. Most people here in Brazil reuse the old OEM gaskets, but I don't think its a good idea, they smash completely in and take the shape of the old OEM pipe. Have a great evening and safe rides!
Cheers
Great video! Thanks JJ. Greetings from Brasil.
Oh wow thanks... I hope you enjoy the many videos on the channel... and the direction of the bike. Brasil thats so cool!
What! You have bent rim at 4:34. Man that’s dangerous
Yes yes it is I have repaired it when I replaced the tires I have much new content to upload soon
Amazing bike I have the black one 👌🏽 can you tell me where I can buy a rear wheel stand
I have e a venom stand from amazon not sure if its available where you are located
Cheers
Hey fam I went to the website. How do you purchase, I dont see the option and did you purchase the catalytic converter from them as well?
Oh nice if u was not able u have to go to just dynojet.com
honestly it sounded great!!
Awesome thanks
Beautiful machine with lovely sound 🥰
So so true
Great man i love your bike
Love from pakistan
Oh awesome thanks have u had a chance to check out the channel more videos there
@@jjmax2007 ye why not
You should have gone with arrow!
Sounds amazing..
I actually like the under body exhaust not the side mount but thanks for the tip
Love it man
Did you tune it after the install and if you did where did you go? Im in the South florida area as well
Hey, where did you get those tank pads? i especially mean the side tank pads. Can you link them please? im looking for those!
Yes check out my channel I have the link in the video called tank grips and phone holders

Man i loved your CBR650R videos i have a black one and thinking about a akrapovic exhaust too. Incredible work i respect that a lot brother. Do you ever thought about a 2018 fireblade? It looks very similar but it’s a whole different bike.
Greets from Germany!
thank you, thank you so much i mean it... i have not thought of a fireblade dont have the money for a bike like that lol but some day huh??
cheers
@@jjmax2007 yeah i think it would be a lot of fun! Do you like your Kawasaki more than the CBR650R so far?
Ummm yes yes cause of the type of riding I'm doing but the 650r is a more comfortable ride style in case
By many different Installation videos i have watched so far this is probably the best one. Thank you so much for explaining everything in Detail insteed of skipping all the hard Part. I guess after that one each viewer has a overview of all the work 🎉 apreciate that!
Greetings from Germany
Thanks bro for this video.. really helps.. i have cb650r and i need this tutorial of yours
Thanks means a lot
Hey man i have the same bike with the same exhaust have you changed the coolant on your bike? There's alot more to it than i thought lol and there is no videos on it
Yes I change the coolant to water wetter but did not record it.... it is a lot to it when I went back to edit the video nothing made any understanding so I just didn't post it
Cheers
my akra full in coming in a little over two weeks. CANT WAIT. just gottta ask, is there extra parts i need to buy? like gaskets or seal rings or bolts and whatnot? or does akra provide everything you need? ALSO, so far from what ive seen on your video...you need a 5mm hex head, 10mm socket, 12 mm socket and sort of long hook to reattach the springs
1. No everything u need is coming with the exhaust... 2. U will need something to remove the O2 sensor and than thats it but the tools listed is a good start tho.... cheers
hey how did u set the two orange leds to stay fixed ? In Europe those are blinking lights, did u modify them or do they come like that OEM because of US specs ?
They come oem due to US guide lines.....
Cheers
After the air filter and exhaust what have you been able to top out at all I got so far is the exhaust and before i could hit 140 and after 150
Oh yes yea I have a dyno video coming soon stay tune for that and I also have a top speed run sort of well on the visor install video I got a top speed of I think 139 or 141 I dont remember the video and those speed I dont want to look down but after the exhaust install I feel hear and see a difference in speed and power.... once the bike is tuned or refreshed OMG watch out, watch out, watch out!!!! Lol
How come you have colorful display if 650r comes in black and white?
I have a U. S. version of the U. K. Cbr650r...
I like the bike. I like your set up too.
Oh thanks I am trying to make something cool
You previously replaced the intake and now the exhaust. Did you re-map the ECU to adjust the fuel mixture?
Yes a power commander 5 is installed on the bike check out the full playlist
Beautiful bike! I'm gonna buy it in the next months hopefully. I was wondering where did you get the black clutch and rear-brake pedals? I don't like the rubber stock ones! Thanks
Oh awesome welcome to the cbr650r life... umm I have e a playlist of all modifications on my channel and a video for the clutch and brake check them out the link is in the videos just like the link for the exhaust is for this video in the description
Dude i searshed everywhere on akrapovic for an exhaust that would fit my 2023 cbr650r, which one did you buy exactly
Revzilla the 2022 yr still bolts up
Cheers
Hey do you know if it still fits on the 24 model year?
@abdinurmohamed4288 sorry I do not know
Stock exhaust sounds like someone is cutting trees down
Lol so true
where did u buy that fuel tank protectors? i need them pls!!!! Nice video
Amazon link in description
@@jjmax2007 where? i want the fuel tank protectors not the exhaust hahah ( necesito los protectorres del deposito de gasolina) gracias!thank you!
Oh sorry give me a sec i will post the link

@@jjmax2007 thank you so much!!!
I have same system on mine. Sounds epic and yes had the same issues with baffle retaining bolt being spot welded on :(
That do killer bolt kick my face in.... gee were u able to take yours out easy or have a fight like me ??
@@jjmax2007 managed to heat it up with tip of a soldering iron. Whack a socket in hard then pray that it went with a ratchet and i was lucky.
Wow I didn't think of that and I have a soldering iron smh just wow
Hey jjmax, if i put on this exhause do i have to ecu flash it ? Or just leave it be ? Im looking foward to your answer
If u put any exhaust I recommend some type of turning to the bike either power commander or ecu flash the air flow is different
What wrench you got? possible links to that wrench or any good ones? Also the part that fits on the wrench that is used to unscrew the bolts
I ended up using a grind bit to remove the welded bolt and as you see in the video a small hammer and pliers to get the DB killer out...
@@jjmax2007 oh I was talking about not this in this video specific but in general for your maintenance work
@@ObtecularPk sorry for the delay but the set i have is craftsman if you have this in your town great set
Do you have a reason why you chose the Akrapovic exhaust over other exhaust types? For example SC project or the Austin racing exhaust.
Yes yes I choose this one cause I wanted to keep the same style as the OEM look and not the side mounted can if the bike did not come that way.....
@@jjmax2007 I came back to your video again because I wanted to see how you put those headers on. That must have been a nightmare. I upgraded mine after having it for 2 days last week, but my headers were a single unit (IXIL) which made it "easier" to install as I didn't have any of those springs on the headers. I do have the exhaust on the side, but I have to say that it looks and sounds very nice! Now after all the changes I made to it, I just have to put the first mile on it... ha ha ha. Servus from Bavaria and thanks!
Oh snap that's awesome glad to have helped with the video the spring was the one part I wish I knew going in cause I was fighting with the header then I was like no no no there has to be a better way and when I took off the header and installed one at a time the bolt would not go on and the spring stay in place so yea my struggles for ur smooth process
Just came across your video. Is this bike comfortable? And will it be good for beginner?
Yes yes it is I'm 6'2 and I fit pretty good but don't go by my sayings head over to the nearest dealer and throw a leg over a few different types to get a feel for the type of bike you may like. This is a great bike tho if your thinking of this one so many mods for it easy to learn on great on gas and style is just next level
Cheers
@@jjmax2007 will do. I like the style of the bike and i look like it's fun to ride.
so about installing the fairing back do you instal the left side first then do the right or you can do anyside first?
I'm not sure how to answer like that are you saying the side base on sotting on the bike or facing the front of the bike i always get confused when someone ask me sorry
@@jjmax2007 so do you first install the clutch lever side first or the brake lever side cause i managed to snap the little clip on the fairing that goes next to the headlight.
Yes yes 👍 and with the fairings you have to be gentle like really really gentle... the plastics are fragile ..
Just ordered mine today. I'm wondering if I'll be able to do the install as well. I'm wondering if I should install without the DB. Once installed do you think the DB can be removed? Also with the little hole in the exhaust does it have to be sealed back up or you can leave the hole there
Same bike by the way
Yea yea you can always take it out it's just you have to take the muffler off the bike in order to do so.... some may not like the task.... just saying. I would say try it with it in cause the way I took mine out I can not put mine back lol
Oh oh awesome I know ur gonna like the bike...
@@jjmax2007 yea ill ride with it in, see what it sounds like. I'm sure it's much better than the stock exhaust. Please post up the difference when you get the power commander. I will be doing my exhaust install in about 2 weeks. Would love to know the difference with the proper tuning.
Yea yea I plan on doing on soon stay tune to my channel for that video... cheers
Just a question, how did you got your indicators to be lit all the time? I really want this for my CBR650R. Thank you
It's only available in the US. European models don't have the option. You can tell because there are only 2 wires going to the indicators of the European version (I have a UK CBR650R). The US version has three wires which keeps them lit like daytime running lights. Contrary to this, the European CB650R has the indicators on all the time as it's the 'naked' version so provides more visibility.
Oh wow I did not know this tha is for the tip.... cheers from the U. S. by the way
Awesome thanks
That sounds sick!
thanks thanks took me some time to get it on and boy oh boi i was happy with the end results
Hey, why did you get rid of the CBR650R? I'm curious because I plan on getting the bike in the next couple of months. In your opinion, what's the pros and cons of the CBR650R?
Nothing is wrong with the bike I recommend the bike to anyone.... pros everything easy to work on is to get parts for easy to service 😌 great power and ease to ride cons maybe a weak front rim but that is for speed lol
with the akro full system and performance air filter - what is the bhp now?
I have gone to a dyno the video after this one on a playlist on my channel that shows the hp check it out and by the way the bike is not tuned.... when you side it its called dyno day cbr650r
Old video I know but any idea for a link to a proper servo buddy? I can’t find one anywhere for this bike
Sorry I don't know one my friend.....
Cheers
Awesome Video. Can you tell me where you got that tank protector from?
If you check the channel there is a video is title that has the link in the description
JJMAX2007 thanks for the answer I will check your videos.
@@__justin977 awesome
What do you mean with 'how much maintenance that high performance air filter requires'? Every how often do you have to clean it out using compressed air?
Lol oh snap
@@jjmax2007 What exactly do you mean? :p
Ok so I would ride for 800 miles then have to clean cause of the filter oil this stuff is very sticky and will catch the smallest of dirt and build on that stuff so fast.... if your not careful this dirt and oil will build so much it can clog then there is a restriction of air cause the bike to idle funny or run hot..... i don't even way 800 miles I do it like 300 or 400 miles at the most.... just saying..... cheer and sorry for the delay
Hi! Bro wich tank protector do you have? How can i get it? Thanks.
Check out the video on my channel and the link for the tank grips are in the description.... cheers
Where did you get the paddock spools front and rear?
I got it from Amazon a long time ago mean 2017 the brand is venom
I have tried to put the end muffler bit on the exhaust pipes and noticed that my original bracket holes that the muffler gets screwed into have been broken in half.
Is there any solution to still mount that muffler. Can I just use zip ties
Ummm I'm only comfortable when everything is bottoned up.... I would not use zip ties only cause it can melt... can you get the bracket ??
Cheers
That part underneath on the bike is actually welded to the frame, so there is no replacement bracket. It would have to be rewelded or new bracket made
Oh wow was the bike in a crash??? Never seen or heard 🤔 this..... interesting
I've heard that the 2021 version will have double exhaust below the seat/taillight. Can anyone confirm?
I looked on like I have not seen anything on the 2021 650r
No. Single exhaust on the 2021 CBR650R. RR has exhaust under seat.
Did you use the extender for installing the o2 sensor??
No no there is not need for it.... there is plenty length in the cable to reach
I removed the dbkiller but then replaced it back agai. after my next long ride. It was silly loud and though it was kinda dumb to make that much noise with a slow bike like this.
True
"slow" bike lol
Beautiful 😱
Thanks.... means alot
if this bike had adjustable showa forks it would be such a good track weapon
Oh yes yes it would but the upside forks is not a bad way to go either just change the 10w fork oil for 15w just saying
@@jjmax2007 just sucks you cant adjust them. I wonder if you could swap them from an old cbr600rr. Like find a 2015+ part out bike and get those forks.
Oh snap you know whats crazy I have been looking at 600rr at my local dealer to see if it would be a even swap but its not the rotors in the front are different and if that is the case then the calipers are different too.... so like things just keep changing lol but I looked into it already it better getting the whole bike than just the whole front end of the 600rr
@@jjmax2007 strange for honda to do that tbh, the amount of recycled parts they used on the 2015/16 1000rr's and the 2017+ 1000rr gen. But there is rumor that they are going to drop a new cbr600rr which might be why they kept the 650 different, that way they could better establish a difference between them.
Oh wow didn't know that... cool stuff... but the honda u say coming out are you talking about the new 2021 600rr?? Cause the 2020 in the states at least is all matted black looks more like the 2019 yr.... I look at that bike every time I go to the dealer with my bike.... but yea
Hi! Indicator led works contstantly. Is that original?
Ummm i don't understand???
yes thats normal nowadays on most brand new motorcycles.
the turning indicators beeing permanently glowing as additional lights for extra visibility.
when actually using them to turn left or right they start blinking on that side as per usual
Oh oh ok ok cool
Same bike same exhaust 👌 I had to ez out that fastener for the baffle.
Yes yes but the bolt is welded dont forget
@@jjmax2007 yes. That’s why I used an ez out
Awesome 👌
good job and sound is very cool
Thank you thanks a bunch
Nice bike bro! I am changing my exhaust as well and the only thing im trying to figure out is how to disconnect the 02 sensor from the Harness. Is there some kind of a clip i have to lift or push on? Your answer will be helpful.
Oh wow I'm so delayed getting to you sorry... yea there is a clip you push on next to the shfter to disconnect the oem o2 sensor... umm ur plan ing to put a auto tune on your bike ??? If your planning to take off the o2 the ecu is going to give you a check engine light.... just saying
JJMAX2007 its ok bro. No i was just changing to a full exhaust and cant figure out how to detach it at first.but its all good now. Next project now will be power commander v and your video was really helpful. I just need to save first to be able to purchase the item.. :)
@@joelfabugais5760 awesome it took me some time to get the money up to get the P.C.V. but once you install it you will see the level of power increase by big numbers lol
Hey JJMAX! I got the same bike and same full system and today I decided to take out the baffler, which I have failed to finish. You mentioned using curved jaw pliers and bang the crap out of it, where on the pilers did you bang it on? how long did that take you? please help!!
Oh wow it was about 15 mins and I had to use a hammer and flat head also to pry it out
@@jjmax2007 thanks for the reply, i gave up that night and soaked the DB killer with wd40, the next day I went and got a locking plier and hammered it just like you said, came out with no problem! thank you!!

Cheers
How did you do that turn signals look like this?
Can you put in a time stamp so I can see what your talking about ??
17:19 that they always turn on

Contrary to this, the European CB650R has the indicators on all the time as it's the 'naked' version so provides more visibility.
Any idea about how loud it is in decibels with Db killer?
ummm i really don't know... but if you have restrictions where you live i would not recommend you take it out for sure
What tool do you use to loosen the radiator bolt on the top?
I used a monkey wrench believe it or not..... I know I know it worked out for me
Was there much weight difference between stock and Akra systems?
yes yes and yes night a week difference
Thinking of getting this bike this week. Got a cbr f4 now. Any thoughts?
With this bike or your old bike... I an to make a review videos of owning this bike for 6 months
Did you change the gasket manifold? And does it smell burnt when you start it?
My bike had no gasket I get this all the time and no there is no burnt smell ever unless I was doing 143 mph and can to a fast stop or rev at a stop light other than that no never smells
