I have a 2004 F650CS. At the rear end of the swing arm, either side of the adjuster screw are two pinch bolts. These seem to periodically work loose. The first time I noticed this was after a 2500 mile trip abroad, when one bolt fell out. The bike had it's 12000 mile service prior to the trip...

Hi Guys/Gals, Any one out there got any views on the best air filter I can fit to my 650GS. I have a Remus exhaust system fitted and am wondering if it would be better to fit something like a K & N air filter? Cheers Mark…

Hi I have just bought an F650 Funduro to commute on. I have only had it 3 days and already its fallen over because of the stupid sprung loaded sidestand ... Is there any way to modify the stand so it acts like any normal stand would and allow me to decide when its up or down ? Broken screen as...

Not sure if I'm being stupid here - but there's a message in my outbox which hasn't sent itself. Am I supposed to click on something to send it? I don't think I've had to before :think:

Hi everyone I'm interested in purchasing a Dakar - however I'm not genetically blessed height wise! 5ft 8" 10.5 stone - Im sure I could get on one, but will my feet touch the floor?? Ive rung round all my local dealers none have any in so I can't find out first hand, I will have to travel...

Are there any technophobes out there? After a ride out today I put the bike onto the centre stand and left the engine running. Walking round the rear and purely by accident, I noticed that the right hand silencer was 'exhausting' while the left one was not. Why is this? Anybody have the...

Hi Met a guy at the lights today near Stockwell - who was on the exact same bike - same colour (Silver) and had a quick chat at the lights - as it is not every day you pull up next to another Scarver at the lights let alone one the same colour. He mentioned that through town he got 80mpg which...

I am still looking for a good maint manual for my GS but in the meantime can someone please confirm: To check coolant level or top-up you have to remove seat and then left complete side panel? Also i assume the clear bottle with rubber cap is the water/antifreeze mix top-up bottle? Oil level...

A friend of mine said he saw a F650ST on a 51 plate for sale in his local paper. I thought the last year of manufacture was 2000. I was thinking maybe it was a 2000 production bike but was not registered until late 2001. But that would mean it was hanging around in some showroom for ages. Or am...

Hi, I have an '01 GS with twin exhaust ports - I believe one is 'real' (the near side - LHS) one is not (the offside or RHS). How much pressure should I feel comming out of the 'fake' side the RHS. Coz at the moment its more that what comes out the 'real side'. Does this make sense?? Cheers

Hi folks, I'm a proud owner of a silver 2003 F650GS. Just wondered if anyone has the Givi luggage system, top box and panniers. I'd like an idea what they look like and would be thankful if anyone could email me a pic showing what they look like. Also I must add what a great and friendly forum...

It's time to replace at least my front sprocket. The one on there is either rubber coated or even made partly of rubber ( a cushioning device ? ) So do I need to replace with a similar one or can I use anything that is made for the F650 ? Thank you.
