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...

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)...

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...
