Yep, correct! had same experience about 5 month ago, albeit in Australia. $85.00 once I could prove ownership.

Great improvement. Seriously consider doing the same. One thing makes me wonder: did you consider the heat reflected from the silver cover back onto the drivetrain? Would a non-silver surface possibly prevent this? Much interested in your thoughts.

Hmmmh, thank you! - a good idea, have to take a look. I am using a fine fishing line on my under-seat release hook on my 1150GS. Must see if I can do similarly on my 650 Sport ... shall report back

Up-date: Went to see the dealer. The fixed it temporarily, as they will have to get one bolt from Germany. Seems to have unusual length/thread?? Happy to wait and get it fixed properly.

Noice, gentlemen, noice .... you know Lindy was ultimately found not guilty and indeed it was a Dingo ... Got a call from the dealer today and shall ride bye tomorrow. Sure we can work something out. My take is "undecided" - regarding the cause. Can't have been stolen, as scoot was parked at...

Hi there, This weekend I went for a long ride on my 650S scoot, bought brand-new in April this year. My entire trip was on tarmac and the engine, indeed the entire scooter went well, putting a smile on my face. Today I washed the scoot and discovered some parts were missing?!? The...

Hi there, My 2017 650Sport is ready to get its 10 000km service (kms in Australia ;-) I wonder what to look out for and if there are any potential 'hidden issues' I should be aware of.:confused: I still haven't got a factory service manual, so have little clue what needs to be accomplished in...

Thanks JamieC, makes sense and I shall life with it. Same here Bornfree, first time I ever owned a bike with this function - and I just need to learn to like it. So can I pp-the-ante ... Now I like to wire-in my emblem indicators (described in another post here...

Hi listers, not sure if this is an issue for previous models, but I hope you'll tell me ;) On my 2017 C650 Sport the indicator cancels after about 10 seconds riding time or 200 mtrs travel time. My Rider's manual says this value is set by factory and can be re-set by Dealer. I prefer to half...

I am aware that this is an old thread, but I like to come back to the horn matter ... I like to improve the decibels of the stock horn (2017 650 Sport) but prefer not to muck around with extra wiring, rather use the CAN Bus existing connections. Is anybody aware that a non BMW OEM horn like...

Well, I am about to install mine on a 2017 650 Sport. Will the same - as above - apply? or need I be careful not to mess with the CAN Bus??

and I am a 'southerner' from Melbourne! on a 2017 650 Sport. That makes three from downunder! Anybody else??

Part 2 sorry to be so cumbersome, but I couldn't add any more pictures, so I trust this 'Part 2' shall solve it. Cut-out completed. I used a 16mm chisel bit on my power-drill and my next step will be to smoothen the edge with a round file Here's a view from or towards the other side of the...

Part 1 Finally done it myself! Thanks for all the help. Found a 2nd hand plug (in very good nick) in Tasmania and installed it today. All went well. Following a couple of pix about the process. The following pic is the right side view, plastic cover removed for my 2017 Sport. In the middle of...

bicyclenut, thank you for clarifying and being so specific. Very helpful for me.
