    Clutch Problem?

    Thanks again, I sent you my email in a PM. That manual you linked (just bought it), is it a book or is it a copy of the DVD? Oh, never mind, I see you already said it's a DVD. I'm also a Mac guy so I will be running it in a Windows 10 Virtual Machine. You mention that the lighter...

    Clutch Problem?

    Thanks, I'll stay on it a bit longer in the mornings and report back with the results. I'm looking forward to opening things up and getting acquainted with the clutch and variator. But on a new bike I'm in no rush without a shop manual. I've been taking engines apart for nearly fifty years...

    Clutch Problem?

    Thanks Mike, I re-read your post on clutch and belt servicing yesterday and am about to order the toolset from Easyboost. The symptom that I describe as "thumps and jumps" seems like a clutch suddenly grabbing and then suddenly releasing - the front fork goes up and down by inches with each one...

    Clutch Problem?

    Thanks for the insights Pappy13, when I asked the same question on a very large (mostly international) Fecebook group everyone who replied said, "Nah, not a problem because mine does that too." Hardly a rational answer when a bike is not working correctly. My hypothesis matches yours that it...

    Clutch Problem?

    I have a 2020 C650 GT that I bought last month with 347 miles on it, so pretty much a new bike without a warranty. Most mornings when I set out for the first time in a day the bike thumps and jumps instead of just smoothly engaging the drive train. After about the first five minutes and for...

    Windshield cleaning

    What do you all use for windshield cleaning? Windex? Soapy water? What do you think about using Rain-X? I ask because none of the window cleaning products mention plastic or polycarbonate. Thanks

    Curious things in my Owners Manual

    I understand wire size and current. Don’t even know that I would actually ever use it but I’m discovering features by reading the manual. And yeah, I usually tuck the pigtail for the trickle charger under the skin and connect right to the battery.

    Curious things in my Owners Manual

    Just finished reading my Owners Manual today while sitting at the shop getting my first oil change. I bought the bike (a 2020) about three weeks ago with only 347 miles. The Owners Manual suggests that there is an additional 12v lighter socket located under the seat and that it is suitable for...

    Serendipity and my new GT

    Yep. Last week for me. I learned about the C650 five years ago when my wife handed me a review in the WSJ. As a previous owner of a 2003 Burgman 650 I was immediately in infatuated. But at the time new ones were around $13K and I was a full-time college student (translation: no funds for such...
