Hi guys, I've been looking for an F650gs lately, and spotted quite a good one on ebay. Trouble is it's missing the front upper mudguard/fender. I've looked all over on the net for one but can't see anywhere that would sell them. Does anyone know where I can get one. Or is a BMW dealer the only...

Help Guys, I have posted for info on trying to get the beast started. Job done. Plugs and caps £17 she starts and ticks over a treat will rev to a point with no load. Take the bike on the road she misses as soon as you try open her up if you slip the clutch and rev her she goes but rough and...

Hi all My 2000 650 has a very slight pinking / missing feeling when riding at a constant rev speed. It suffers no problems when accelerating of decelerating.I have just had a new ECU fitted so don't think it can be this as the dealer installed my bikes settings into it. My off side rear can has...

Was supposed to pick up the F last Saturday but the guy I am buying from rang me and said the bike was missing badly and would need attention before riding home. The bike has been stood for four months covered up outside, is it possible the fuel will have gone off. The bike is of 94 vintage. He...

Hello all - first-time poster (so please be gentle with me) ;) I bought a BMW F650GS (2001 model) a few weeks ago and it came with a "Service & Technical Booklet" only. Unfortunately there's no mention in this of how the switches, buttons, lights and latches work (you know, the basic...

:oops: After purchacing my lovely 95 red funduro 3 weeks ago, :riding: Last weekend I thought I would do a quick trip down to brighton to get out of the city (the reason I brought the bike) I thought I would adjust the suspension to see if I made much difference, But to my horror I could...

Is it me, or have some threads been removed from this message board?

I have just bought a 96 F650 funduro with 42K on clock and I am mainly impressed with it. The only gripe is that when I am riding normally the gear change is sweet, but when knocking on 3rd/4thand 5th go awol. Any ideas? New clutch 5000miles ago. Also, what sort of mileage can I expect before a...

Hi Hope someone can help. Had my rear most exhaust gasket let go and completely disappear on me. This loosened the pipe enough for the clamp to hang free. I've replaced all the gaskets in the system and am clamping it up IAW the MM (Maintenance Manual). I've found I should have a shim in the...
