Hi all I'm a recent (2500km of 54 350km) owner of a 1997 F650ST. All went well, until a few 100 km's back. I just got the bike bak from a service. Rode it for about 50 km's and then went to a store, parked the bike, everything normal. When I got out, the bike started perfectly and I left. I was...

Went to unlock the bike this morning, and couldn't turn the key in the barrel. Riggled the steering left and right whilst trying to turn the key to no avail. In the end I took the misses car. Could it be frozen?

Yesterday I had success in replacing the tumblers for the bike keys onto the rear seat compartment (which has very flimsy fitting, a little twist and bend an off it comes :scratch: ned 1 me 0), and the fuel cap. The process IS easy, as easy as much enjoyable Thanks to you f650 members. Yet I...

Hi all bike is a 1997 F650 The Ignition key has been broken in the barrel and i'm trying to find out if anyones managed to replace just the barrel as BMW only list a complete assembly at 80 odd notes, made worse as it was replaced less than 2 years ago following a theft attempt I've...

Saw this one made for KTMs, and wondered if anyone knows of an equivalent version for the F650? Had a search on ebsay/google but nothing came up. http://www.touratech.com/shops/008/product_info.php?products_id=8904 :thanks2:

Hi a bit mystified! Got back last week from a 4000 mile trip down to italy on my 1999 funduro which I have owned for a couple of months. Bike never missed a beat no probs at all.

Good morning mates. I took the ignition tubing cap out yesterday and I unscrew the small bolt from inside. When I got it out a small round piece (like a fuse) came out and then a spring. I remove that small round piece from inside (some friends told me that this is a filter for the high power)...

Hiya Folks I was wondering if someone can help me out... I am about to replace the ignition barrell and lock mechanism.. I believe it is held in place by 2 bolts.. that are the sheer type... so when I remove them (by careful means I am sure) and need to replace them, what do I use? I had...

I broke down again yesterday on way home from work. Called out breakdown recovery and turns out one of the wires in the ignition switch had frayed. :wall: Symptoms were the bike but out and ignition lights would come back on intermittently. Need to get this done ASAP

Hi, if anyone can help here it would be appreciated.... After kids have been tampering with my funduro, ignition barrel removed (even though it had a huge chain on) & clocks smashed. I have received a new lock set today but am thinking that all I need to swap is the inner barrel, not the whole...

Hi all, I'm new on here and a newish F650GS owner (bought bike end of December). Unfortunately, I had to get a nice RAC man to bring me home on Sunday as the bike conked out, after misfiring all day. He was very helpful and by a process of elimination he diagnosed that the coil wasn't working...

Hi all, I have a 54 plate scarver and my battery suddenly drained the other day. Tha AA man spent 2 seconds trying to get it going before we decided to recover it as he could pick his washing up from his mums on the way (i kid you not). Anyhow I have since recharged it and topped it up. when...

Evening all, I have been looking around here for details of how to strip the lock assembly, sure I've seen it here or on the chain gang FAQ's but can't find it now? I know how to remove the lock assy and separate the switch, but I want to take the lock apart. Can anyone point me in the right...
