HondaCB650

thanks for the recommendation, will that be ok on other parts of the bike as well?

hi all,ive had my cb650z 1979 for nearly 6 years now and got it to really good condition over that time, will post pics later, I ride it 2-3 times a week :o)) my best mates dad has had to give up riding due to ill health and in his garage was a 1978 cb400t dream, he has given to me for nothing went ...

hi there,thought i would say hello as ive a z model,had her for 5 years now,had a few problems but not many,had to source a new caliper and some crap wiring that previous owner had done,but runs sweet,it has the rc03 engine,not done a thing to it apart from new plugs and oil every now and again

Hi Folks, as the title suggests I believe my clutch is slipping. It slips in first and I think second when at high revs. It started only a couple days ago so I guess I have a bit of time before it fails completely. We have been having some unusually fair weather in the south of UK and I have been o...

just to let you all no that the old cx 500 brake caliper does indeed fit,no alteration needed it fits right on one down side is that its nowhere as good looking on the bike,here is a link to one the same as i got to play with http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CX-500-FRONT-BRAKE-CALIPER-/251244922591?p...

forgot to show pistons
im really a bit surprised at the state of them as i have had the bike for 4 years and would say its in good condition for a 34year old bike,i have serviced most things on the bike in that time but did not think about stripping the calipers down

thought id let people see what i found inside my calipers
not cleaned since new i would think
anyway new seals and pistons required and a good clean
i am not really surprised my brakes did not work that well
so far i have new m/cylinder
new ss brake hoses
new seals and pistons

hi all again
just wondering if anyone knows if there are any other calipers that fit the European cb650z
just asking as i was thinking of playing around to increase the braking performance
i have done the brake lines,new seals and pistons in caliper

Pretty nice solution. Hope it is tight. Yes it seems good the next thing is while they are off the bike i think i Will change the seals etc. Having not done this before and reading the manual is there anything i should look out for? Also thinking of removing old paint and leavng them In the metal F...
