Hi everyone. I just picked up my first bike--a 2003 F650GS. The micro-switch for the front brake died, and could not be resurrected through cleaning, etc. (tested with meter). Since the wiring also looked a bit rough, I bought a new switch with the wiring rather than soldering an eBay switch on...

Hi, I have a 2004 Twin Spark, and the clock and tripmeter have started to reset every time I switch on the ignition, as well as the re-indexing noise of the speedo and rev counter. I've traced this to a missing permanent feed on the red/white wire to the dash. I'm wondering if anyone has any...

Hi All I have a Funduro as a project , it was given to me by a friend who needed the space . It used to be his main bike about 10yrs ago , it has been unsued and as i get ready to recommission it I find a few bits have been removed over time. First I noticed the ignition pick up was missing ...

Hello forum friends, :wave: I have a buddy who has wired a charger into his main battery cable and it is quite the useful thing as he can charge his gps, phone etc. I was reaching out to see if anyone has done this themselves or knows if this is something that can be done on my bike. I...

I am considering whether to add either daytime running lights which are always on when the headlight is on, or some more powerful switchable spotlights. Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the 2006 F650 GS so that I can assess how much work is involved for each solution?

Looking to replace my rear light unit with this......... Been told it's just plug and play. So I am planning on removing the unit (as per the manual) and insert the following connectors (See pic below). Problem is, manual shows SPADE (if thats the correct term) connectors and it doesn't...

Hello, I recently purchased an F650GS 2007 model second hand. I have noticed that the ABS warning light (idiot light I believe some people call it) never comes on. When the ignition is turned on, the light is meant to light up during the 'checks' of the bike. I have checked the bulb, it is not...

Hope someone can shed some light on this... I have a 2009 F650GS Twin and someone asked me if it had CAN-BUS??? I hadn't a clue what that meant so have been reading up on it and it has left me concerned that if my battery goes flat I won't be able to move the bike as the electrical system...

hi im new , and the proud new owner of a f650 2000 model which seems to be quite sick, could do with lots of help to find out what the problems are. Ok, when i bought the bike the previouse owner had to jump start it , he said that it was because it had been left standing and that it just needed...

Well I have fitted the horn and it sits on the bracket that housed the old horn. The trumpets just peek out from under the fairing just below the headlight. Now the wiring. Advice please. I plan to take the power from the battery to one of the original horn cables, take the second to the relay...

I should start by saying that I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to bikes - still a novice. I have bought a Garmin 660 and I am trying to identify the best way of wiring the power lead to the bike. I have read there can be problems with the canbus and draining the battery. If anyone...

Had an interesting cut out of power yesterday. Lost all dash lights and engine cut out. Assumed battery terminals had come slightly loose-but no. Lights were flicking on and off intermittently and managed to turn over-but cut out again when upright to move off. I wiggled the wiring loom and...

Hi guys, I replaced the ignition barrel and steering lock mechinism today following botched theft attempt... all generally good except whilst putting back together the two wires from the ABS switch came lose... Are these specific or can I solder to either connector??? To maintain ABS, can I...

Want to put some bar risers on the Dakar (05). As I have the ABS and Hazard switches is there enough wiring in the loom for the extra lift or is there a bit of wiring involved and how bad is the fouling of the hand guards on the screen? At 5' 11" is the 25mm enough or should I go for the 35mm...

Heya guys! Just bought myself a Garmin Quest with motorcycle cradle and want to get it all connected ASAP for a trip to Europe in two weeks. Can anyone recommend a good Mount for this cradle? It's described as having a standard AMPS hole pattern. Would prefer one where the cradle can be...

I have a problem with my handgrips and am not sure how they are set up. I can't see anything in the wiring diagram and suspect it's because they are an option. This is how I think they work. Can anyone confirm? As there is a high and a low setting, I assume that there are two coils wrapped...
