    BMW dropping the C650 in the USA ?

    It wouldn't surprise me, they aren't big sellers. But just because they are stopping importing it doesn't make it a good or bad investment, at least in my book. If you really look at what else is out there in terms of large scoots, there isnt that much choice. I don't think the c400 is...

    Pictures now Available windshields that won't break the bank

    Are both of these screens acrylic? I checked 7jurock and no listing yet for their screen. Calsci is about 240. Vstream ranges from 150 for shortest screen to 200 for the tallest. 180 for the one in the middle and free shipping over 100 bucks. Looked again at the vstream site and they tout...

    They all call for premium. I give/gave it to the bmw's since, well, they are bmw's. I run the can am on regular and it seems to do fine. Spyder is a 998 rotax v-twin pushing a bike that weighs about 1000 lbs.

    I'm averaging 49.7 based on about 1000 miles so far. I keep an app on my phone called Fuel Log and enter the fill ups on anything I drive. This is mostly backroads riding with a bit of highway miles and a bit of stop and go as well, filling with premium. It does a bit better than my R12RT did...

    Glad you figured out what the avatar references.... There was another posting of a guy parting out a bike he had just gotten where the engine grenaded on him for the same reason. Hate to see that happen to anybody.

    Welcome aboard. Just make sure on these new old bikes that you check for the recall for the timing chain tensioner. If it is a very early model, dont keep riding it till you know the work has been done. Another new guy posted that he had it break and is now wondering what BMW will do for him.

    Who to contact at BMW USA for Chain Tensioner Breakage

    How long have you had it? How old is the bike? Did you ever check to see what if any recalls were done on the bike?

    What should i expect with a used BMW 650?

    To check the oil there is one small panel under the rubber of the right footrest to remove. OBD2: same as a car, on board diagnostics port. 3 Year warranty is standard, but does not cover routine maintenance which is what costs. I'm 29" and I can get one foot on the ground with the standard...

    What should i expect with a used BMW 650?

    Hi I went from a 2009 Swing to my 2019 C650 (in between was an R12RT). From what I understand there are no big issues with the 2016 on up. That was the year of a redesign with the variator and the muffler being upgraded. Everything else on the bike remained the same from the previous year...

    Pictures now Available windshields that won't break the bank

    Interesting discussion. I am toying with the idea of a different screen. The OEM in the tallest position is just above my eye level and cuts out most of the buffeting, but not all. A couple more inches and I would think that all the wind would be cut which is great in the winter or riding in...

    So you raised the screen up by about 4 inches or so? Can you still see over it when its in the lowest position?

    no CVT belt arrows

    How long did the job take you to do? Did you have the tool that locks the variator? Do anything with the rollers? Just curious, I've got a while before I'll need to worry about it.

    FOR SALE: GIVI TALL WINDSCREEN LIKE-NEW CONDITION FOR C 650 GT

    I'm interested, but it would have to be shipped to 23703. Do you have the original box for it, that helps a lot. When the screen is all the way down, how much air are you getting. I'm about 5 7 to 5 8 and I do like to drop the screen if its warm and get some air in the face. Bob

    chain adjustment c650sport 2019

    Hi Chris. How old and how many miles are on the bike? The chain adjustment involves changing out some plastic guide rails inside the rear drive. When the chain stretches and gets some slack, they can put in different rails that will take up the slack and keep it from flopping around. If...
