The CB650R arrived in 2019 as the Neo Sports Café replacement for the CB650F, using the updated 649 cc inline-four with Honda's E-Clutch absent but revised intake and Euro 5 tuning for 2021 (the model year documented here from Honda's official EU manual). It revs to 12,000 rpm, breathes through four individual throttle bodies and carries an assist/slipper clutch. Service data: 2.6 L of 10W-30 JASO MA oil with the filter, 2.5 L coolant, DOT 4 brake fluid, a 520-sealed 118-link chain with 25-35 mm slack and iridium plugs that never need gapping. US-market manuals were not published on MotoPub for this model, so the EU manual is the official source for 2019-2021 figures.
