Hi - ive just bought a 1997 funduro. Ive never owned a single before, and my last bike was a vfr750 which was turbine smooth! Hence I'd like to know what the funduro engine should feel like when its running well - maybe mine is, or maybe not! The bike is in good condition and has done 25k...

Hi. I am using my 2000 Dakar on the road only. I want to get a little more speed at a lower RPM so I can ride at 120 Km/h without suffering too much vibration. I know there's a 15 teeth pinion for people who want more power. Has anyone heard of a 17 teeth pinion available in the aftermarket? Thanks.

Hi all... Need some help/guidence etc with this issue - I've been told it may be the timing thats off? any other ideas or is it a common thing that has an easy fix? many thanks

I've recently swapped my KTM400EXC for a '54 plate F650 Dakar (hence joining this forum!). She's a very tidy bike with full BMW history and has done 27,500 miles. Yesterday I took her for a run from Worcester out through the Cambrian mountains, about 200 miles in all on and off road. It was...

Hi All. Thanks in advance. I had had the Funduro 650 for a couple of years now. I have always had a lot of vibration up though the handle bars so much so it is difficult to see clearly in the mirrors. Is this usual for a F650?

Checked the threads, can't find a mention on this, everybody else's vibrations are to do with road speed, tyres, bearings etc. Hi Troops, help needed. This has got worse over some days, can't take a day off work so just keeping the revs down until I can sort it. F650 Funduro, twin spark...

There have been posts before about the vibration effect through the grips that these "thumpers" cause . . . today a change of gloves caused me to stop and think. :think: You see a sudden downburst soaked my summer gloves - yes, still wearing them :riding: aren't heated grips the best - but...

After wondering for some time why the underside of my bike was so oily I decided to investigate... was it the scottoilre.....no......was it the airbox drain.....no.....was it a loose sump plug.....no... it was loose nuts! It seems that the right hand side engine cover bolts have been loose and...

Anyone got any suggestions on how to see what's behind you when doing more than 70mph. The vibrations in my mirrors renders everything to a quivering blob above 70 (ok maybe 80). Under that speed everything is fine, visibility is perfect. Is it just me or do all single cylinder bikes suffer the...

I have had a new clutch fitted on my '99 ST and I am sure it is a bit more viby at between 4 and 5k . the bike is running fine so it may be my imagination but I did wonder if a replacment clutch could introduce vibration if not fitted correctly, although it was fitted by my BMW dealer. Any one...
