2020 Honda CBR650R - Quick Tips for New Riders or Riders New to the Honda CBR by Chris

[@leec9781]

The reason you should connect the Positive terminal first, is because, if the Negative is connected first you could easily short out the positive to the chassis, possibly damaging the battery or injuring yourself. It is not possible to short out the battery to the chassis if the negative is not connected. This is one of the first things you are taught when becoming a mechanic.

When disconnecting, should you disconnect the negative first?

@Lee C: it surprised me too

[@jeffbrownme2]

I have this exact bike. 1k miles in and just now checking the tire pressure and chain tension. RIP. Thanks for the vid!

[@claringtonhonda385]

Glad it helped! Let us know if there is anything else specific you would like us to cover. Whenever we have some down time we try to film a quick video, if you have any ideas we can start working on them!

[@markfox1545]

RIP? Rest in peace? 🧐

[@jeffbrownme2]

@@markfox1545 cause he said check within first couple miles. I didn't check for a whole season.

@@jeffbrownme2 was it ok? Lol

[@kimmyrask7368]

The original tires are useless anyway..

[@dandil]

negative is connected second because it connects to the chassis. If you connect negative first, then hit something with your ratchet while tightening the positive you're gonna have a bad time.

Is there any possible way to rise the handle bars more for touring

[@dajoaw]

Man, this is the Supersports more friendly touring you can have nowadays. Maybe you should search a bike for that use specifically

[@AED-41]

🙂 you know there’s an alternative for your search: CB 650R….

[@sunuk1915]

Smart guide line🤩👏👏👏👏

A question where i often think about...is using the killswitch to casually turn of the bike, recommended?... when i had my license lessons they said only use in emergency, using it daily could shorten lifespan of battery. I wonder why so many ppl use the killswitch when they can just turn their key...?

[@hamishtaylor1337]

It’s a little white lie to stop people draining their battery. Bike batteries have very little capacity to them, if you kill the bike with the switch and leave the electronics on sitting in your garage, it’ll be dead in a couple hours.

[@Noodlehustle]

@@hamishtaylor1337 aha, oke thanks for clearing this up ! So it does no harm to use the kill switch, just dont forget to turn it back on, and shut the bike off with the key.

[@TheTortuga58]

The MSF Basic Rider Course teaches "thumb key", every time you turn it off. Kill switch, then ignition. I bet the manual of every bike probably says the same somewhere deep in it.

[@ashika1009]

Excellent!

[@Shikiouji]

wth why is there not more of videos like these...you guys fancy doing one for the Rebel 1100 when it comes out??

[@claringtonhonda385]

Our Power Equipment / ATV / Bike department has been super busy since early winter... if we can find some time we will try to get more of these types of videos out. Thanks for your comment!

[@cobrayi5064]

do you recommend this bike honda cbr 650 r for beginners ?

[@godfreya.1599]

You need to have some experience imo. If you've never rode a bike, no. At least borrow a bike (around 250cc or below) for 100 miles/150km, before buying this. If HEFTY experience with moped or any dirt bikes, then you can get away with it.

[@MegaTeapa]

Go for it man, I got it with 0 experience on 2 wheels, but I took it easy and now everything its ok, I'm confortable with it.. is not as wild as they say

[@vintagerealityvr]

It honestly depends how naturally skilled your coordination is/athletic you are. It's basically like learning a sport. If you are good at riding bicycles, have good balance and hand eye coordination and a good feel for your body location in space, learning on a bike like this is no problem. If you are someone that doesn't have experience doing intense physical and mental activitiesthat require coordination and focus, and are just getting into this type of activity for the first time, this bike will definitely be too much for you. I'd recommend a 300 if that is where you are at. Otherwise, this bike is very easy to ride

[@spartanwarmc3288]

My first street bike and it was great for me. Not gonna scare you or surprise u with power or torque but it can go fast fairly quick.

[@kevinmckeon2543]

@@spartanwarmc3288 depends on the person too. If you're naturally cautious and not inclined to try and rip on it straight away, then you'll be okay with it as a complete beginner. Also depends on what level of training you're getting if any. Now on the other hand if you want to go fast straight away and you're doing no training, then this bike might just kill you.

[@ajd36]

Don't use the kill-switch to turn off the bike. That's not why it's there.

[@Artofmike]

Haha advising to use the “emergency kill switch” for turning off? Pretty sure the manual says only use in an emergency… 🤣

[@bustabeatz785]

you have no business on a motorcycle if you cant use a killswitch properly
