    Pull!

    At around 12,00 miles my bikes steering started shaking when slowing down and pulled to the left if the handlebars were not firmly held. This has been fixed by changing the steering head bearings. As the standard bearings are cup and cone, taper rollers sized 30 x 55 x 17mm (NTN 32006) were...

Photos are also available in the Media - BMW C650GT Photo Galleries - C650GT Modifications section of this Forum. As I was unable to find a dedicated...

    Steering Head Bearings

    At around 12,000 miles my bikes steering started shaking when slowing down if the handlebars were not firmly held, this has been fixed by changing the steering head bearings. As the standard bearings are cup and cone, taper rollers sized 30 x 55 x 17mm (NTN 32006) were used as replacements...

    False Oil Check warning is intentional...

    I had a lot of trouble with erroneous low oil level warnings and had the sensor changed under warranty, which did not cure the issue. It turns out the bike is very sensitive to oil level and has to be maintained within 100ml of maximum to prevent the warning coming on occasionally. No oil...

    Nissin 3 Pot Caliper Brake Mod Hi carlosabh71, Thank you for the information on this interesting modification, my bike is used for two up touring and sometimes the brakes are a bit minimal, even with EBC HH pads fitted. Does the alteration of the Honda hydraulic circuit cause any problems...

    Side View Assist

    Having test ridden a bike with SVA I realised it gave 50 false warnings to every valid one and to make matters worse it doesn't work over 50mph as part of the spec. I ordered it on my 2017 C650GT to get the LED running light that came with the “Visibility Package” Sticking blind spot mirrors...

    Oil check doesn't work

    The OIL OK is only visible when the engine is up to temperature and the bike has been stationary, when in motion the bike then displays the tyre pressures. If you cycle the display options with the bike moving and select tyre pressure, the OIL OK does not display when stopped and dashes will be...
