Honda CB650R Air Filter/A2 or LAMS Restriction Removal TUTORIAL 

PLEASE NOTE: You will have to get the ECU flashed at an approved Honda dealership alongside replacing the restricted air trumpets in order to get the full unrestricted power. I was able to get this done for only an hour's labour at my local dealership.

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

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

This has got to be one of the best reviews I've ever watched. Great work

The best DIY video regarding Honda CB650R on RU-vid!

Absolutely best content on working on the CB650R! Subscribing straight away.

Best instructional video I've seen. Paced, detailed, to the point, easy to follow, thank you

Thanks to your video, I got the courage to work. It's a friendly and detailed explanation.

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!

Thanks so much. Your review made the process super simple.

I agree with Jack. This has got to be one of the best reviews I've ever watched. Great work!

Thanks for making such a detailed beautiful video, I can't help but feel that your videos haven't had as much views and appriciation as they deserve. On behalf of all the DIY lovers I thank you. Cheers!!!

Now that's what I call a great tutorial. Take care.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU FOR THIS! i know the cb650r is a new bike, and i'm new to bikes myself. i think this is the first video I've seen where I've truly seen the inside of the bike!

Oh thank you for this tutorial, I feel more confident about it now !

Nice work with the video dude, we all appreciate it! Shout out from Austin, TX

Awesome content dude. Feeling more confident messing with my brand new bike. Thanks alot. Subbed

Awesome shakedown, pretty good content to show someone how to reach some of those hard to get spots in the bike.

Love the detailed videos with the toolkit requirement you present! Can you make a video for changing brakepads front and back? Great Job with the Videos! 👍

This is fantastic, thank you so much for the well explained and filmed tutorial!

clear and concise......great video for cbr riders.

Absolutely amazing tutorial. Thank you very much.

still true,you meet the nicest people on a honda!

Looking to get a CB650R moving up from scooting and my research brought me here. Great content! Liked and subbed. ***** 5 stars for starting the video wearing socks and ending with shoes on. Magic!

Fantastic video. Gives me lots of confidence to do this myself 🙌

So glad I found your channel, I should be getting my CB650R next week so nice to have clear and helpful videos on hand. Great job!

Fellow RAF personnel here and also looking at getting a CB650R, earned my sub!

What a great video I do have a request on changing the coolant.that would be a great help,but your videos definitely inspired me to do the work myself.

Very useful! I will appreciate when I have to replace my stock air filter by a KN one in a few days!

Very detailed, Great video!

Thanks! Great tutorial! more of those please :)

Really good tutorial

Amazing video. Thank you!

Great video, this is really going to help me out! Cheers

Thank you. Very useful video

Great video man .👏🏼

Great Video. I liked and subscribed hope you keep making them :)

Best Tutorial

I actually LOVE the air intake design, and the exhaust, and would like it on the 1000

Very nice you share your knowledge thanks.

Nice one mate - not to much yapping.. short and sweet! Thumbs up!

Very good content. Many thanks

Grand merci, cher ami britannique !

The cb(r)650r is also resistricted via software! Only changing the funnels will not give you full power.

Awesome thanks 😊

Muito bom esses tutoriais! Dá pra vc fazer de como remover e limpar as partilhas de freios dianteiro e trazeiro?

Great video thank you very much! Will be very sweet if you can do a bar end mirror installation. Honda's bar ends is such a nightmare.😥

Muito bem esplicado parabéns

awesome!!!

Looks like Hastings drive, used to live there a while back

Really good explained video. Would be great how to change mirrors and how to take out end bar weights. Keep doing this videos 👏👏👏☝️

Great, thank you for the tutorial.

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!

Thanks!

Many CB650R riders would like to get their ECU's remapped once of licencing restrictions. A common way of getting this done is by shipping the ECU via post to a reputable service centre. What's the chance of putting out a video on how to access and remove the unit?

Thanks for the great tutorial! Do you need to drain the tank before removing it?

Hi thank you for the video.! My question is it must to update the ECU if i remove the restriction ? 🧐

Nice attention to detail thank you. Could you get away with leaving the tank in situ with it upright on the rear bolt?

Thank you for this video. Can you make one for replacing spark plugs? Also did you do that with an ampty tank or how come fuel was not coming out when you disconnected the hoses?

Awesome video and extremely well explained! One question I’m hoping you can answer is when you change the 4 trumpets (to de-restrict it) do you need to have the ECU flashed to adjust for the full amount of air flow into each cylinder or will the ECU make its own adjustment to produce the claimed 94 hp? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. This includes anyone who has done the same. 👍😎

Need video open side panel (all) bro , thanks god bless you

Awesome video mate! Quick question. Where does one obtain the air trumpets? I tried looking online and found little luck

How do those redistricting trumpets work ?, btw very excellent video

If you’ve got the time, a tail tidy fitment would be great. Watching this channel will end in me spending a lot of money during lock down 🤦‍♂️

This is not just a RU-vid video but a lesson. Thank you very much. Subbed and liked🤗🤗🔥💯 The usb connector, where did you buy it from and does it deplete the battery when the bike is off?

Legend!

does it need a changing mapping too for get original full power?

Süper 👍

SUPER TUTO C EST TRADUIT EN FRANCAIS SUPER MAIS IL AURAIT DU FAIRE PLUS SIMPLE

So are you saying that you only need to change the restricted trumpets to factory trumpets to gain power without having to flash the CPU?

Do you feel a different afterwards?

Do you know if this added anymore low end torque to the bike

do you know (more or less) how much only the empty tank weighs?

Wait what are the unrestricted factory screws? don't think I've got those

Thank you for this, .... so Easy! i just brought 3 weeks ago 2020 CBR650R they are magic machine, so when i order a replacement unrestricted replacement, what is this to give me in Torque/HP? compared to the Restricted - doesn't it need a retune?

Thanks for the vid... Too bad Honda could not make this removal a little easier... come on Honda

I removed air trumpets totally without replacing it and now I will do dyno tune is it correct or I should put new trumpets?

What happens if you remove the airtrumpets but dont change the ECU?

How would I know if I have restricted air trumpets, or not?

Does it need ecu flash?

Can this be done without ecu map? I’d assume it would run super lean with all the extra air intake?

Mine is already at 14.000kms... around what mileage you replaced the air filter?

Is this restriction on the US market bikes? I just bought a CB650R and want to know if I’ll have to do this.

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.

Do you get any hp from unrestraing it? Or do you have to flash the ÉCU to get any hp?

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 :)

how many km did you do on this air filter?

Would this still be the same for the 650f??

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!

A little help, for driving two people, how is the Honda CB650R behaving and what are your experiences?

Where you have bought the original snorkel?

What does it bring to Remove those?

Great tutorial mate. Isn't the bike also limited electronically?

Where I can order air trumpets and better air filter? Any links please? Mine is restricted 😔

Did you have to tune your bike after removing the air restirction?

How much hp would it up me with only lams change no ecu?

Does every CB650R have this 12V socket under the seat? And when does it give power: on ignition or always?

Does anybody know how to remove the throttle restrictor?

Hi, great video. Thanks. But I have a question about disconnect the tubes under the tank. Does the tank need to be emptied ? Thanks.

Very nice job, I wish you did a PAIR remove tutorial. The A2 restriction is a UK thing? US models got these too?
