2025 CBR650R E-Clutch
 
I am in search of information and knowledge concerning the E-Clutch system forced upon me by Honda. The 2025 CBR650R is only available now with the E-Clutch system, a system I DO NOT WANT. Unfortunately I DO want a CBR650R as it is the last remaining inline 4 sport bike with a reasonable riding position. I am just not interested in the super sport models. I am completely aware that the system can be turned off, but the default is ON, so every time I shut off the bike I would be toggling through to turn it off again. In addition, I do not like the idea of the system lurking in the shadows where it could possible activate unexpectedly. I just want it GONE. So on to my question. Who knows how this bike will react to simply unplugging the E-Clutch from the wiring harness? Is there even a fuse to pull? The service manager at my dealer couldn't tell me. To follow-on, who knows what would be involved in completely removing the physical E-Clutch from the side of the engine and replacing the engine side cover with a 2023 pre-E-Clutch model(Which my service manager says is possible because the engine case mating surfaces are identical). My ultimate goal is to completely remove the E-Clutch from the bike. Ideas, Thoughts, Cautions, advise? Thanks to all your ideas.
