Hey, I hope you can help me. You stated, that you would need to go to a Honda dealer to flash the ECU if you have installed the trumpets for the restricted version. Now my question is: can the dealer just flash the ECU or does he need a Micro Controlled Restriction module that would cost another 200€. I could buy a bile that the seller bought restricted so he already has the restricted trumpets. I would only need to install them.
Does the fuel tank has to be empty before renoving it, or is there some kind of "spilling prevention system"? Sorry if this question might seem stupid :)
This has got to be the clearest and best tutorial I’ve ever seen, if I haven’t had seen this video I would be sat the for hours. You actually made it so much easier just by taking us through all instructions
You definitely need to flash the cpu too but in NZ and Australia this bike technically is now illegal. You have to get it Re vin’d as modified if you want to be fully legal and to be insured. Now you could just keep quiet but in the unlikely event of a crash into a expensive car there’s a possibility they will check the cpu and air intakes and void your insurance but I doubt it. Seeing as it effectively doubles the horsepower so saves you buying a whole new bike I can see why you’d do it. Also if you love the styling as much as I do 😮then you’d have to jump from the lams A2 650r to the 1000r which is a big jump. It’s a shame Honda don’t have a “special service “ to do this for you when you get a full licence, or have a buy back scheme where they replace the bike for a non restricted 650r, at a cost of course! They are missing a trick there. They make the things anyway. Seeing as Honda is seen as a more sensible, company building reliable bikes you’d imagine that their customers would be too and would pay the probably rip off amount to upgrade the bike. Or just do it in your garage and be illegal I guess. There’s a company in Auckland here that you post in your cpu and your intakes, give them $750 and they dremel the intakes and flash the drive and post it back. Seems like a bit of a rip off just to flash the drive!
This an AMAZING and VERY relevant tutorial. I really needed this guide for my bike and you helped out so much with this video. Keep up the helpful context!
SHITTY tail - i have similar one- all mud and wet will end up on your back and helmet thru that hole in the tail... :( i had to do DIY mod to block that open space with some plastics...
Get another tail tidy than this one guys, the R&G one is one of the worst looking out of all of them. - A CB650R owner with R&G tail tidy(cause there was nothing else at that time)
I’m about to buy a used CBR650R. The old dude runs straight free flow pipes, fully derestricted air trumpets and the ECU flash for full power. On the other hand I’m upgrading from a little GSX150R, so maybe if I can get it restricted again, until get enough practice and confidence!
@@geraldp494 Hello! Not so bad. It is quite easy to install, but honestly do not expect any significant gain if you do not also replace your stock exhaust or at least the silencer and this is valid for any bike. Otherwise, KN, BMC and DNA have equivalent performance and you can keep them for life on your bike. Just watch the price on ebay, it may vary from one merchant to another. I got my KN for 65 euros delivery included.
This has got to be the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. Not just “take these bolts out” and constant cuts to the end of the steps, you actually showed us how to take the bits apart and had great camera work too. Really appreciated this! Hope everyone else follows suit
