New CB650 Owner
« on: April 12, 2025, 02:52:18 PM »
Hello all,

Thanks for letting me be on here. My name is David, most call me Dave though. I’ve done a lot of reading on here, so figured I would join in on the fun. I am the proud owner of a 1982 CB650 with around 9,000 miles on it. I purchased it about a year ago as my winter project, which has now become a spring project. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, am an aircraft mechanic full time and husband/father of 2. I used to own a 1974 CB360 as my first bike, then a GL500, and a couple of Goldwing 1200’s since.
I am trying to get back to riding now that I have friends who are into it since moving home a while back.

Anyways, I will be asking for some help soon if I cannot get cylinder 4 to fire consistently soon.

Thanks again!

Thanks!
1982 CB650

Welcome to the fun!
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.
