    Passed the 5K milestone!

    Rifleman3006, it was the speedometer reading. There are lots of open two lane blacktops out here in this Northeastern corner without too many CHP! Sometimes it's just too tempting! Doesn't do too much for gas mileage though :eek: I have to say though, that the bike is just so solid and stabile...

    Passed the 5K milestone!

    I had a terrific ride today up to Cedarville. The Surprise Valley Hot Springs are highly recommended! Popular spot, so make reservations! I passed the 5K milestone too! I also bested my own personal land speed record on my C650GT by going plaid and getting the bike up to 115mph! Still a very...

    Fuel Gauge

    What I ran into with my 2016, was simply making sure that the ignition was turned off, and that the key was out in order for the computer to be able to reset when I fueled up. After I got that figured out, I haven't had any issues with the fuel display accurately reflecting the actual volume.

    winter storage

    Ok, well I am here at 4500 ft on the Eastern edge of the Sierra Nevadas, and the mountains already have snow on them, so I will be storing the C650GT in my garage. Any other words of wisdom for winter storage besides fuel additives, battery tender, and having the bike on the center stand?? TIA!

    Helmet Sunblocker?

    Okay, so here's my user review. It was a sunny, blue sky, no clouds, no wind, dry tarmac day in the 50'sF. So I took off from Susanville to Truckee via 395, 70, 49, & then 89. My first 50 minutes were heading East with the sun at about 11:00. I don't wear glasses and I don't ride with...

    Helmet Sunblocker?

    Weather permitting, I will be going for a day ride over to Truckee on Friday. I'll be able to give a review after that ride. I already installed the sunblocker on my Neotec face shield.

    Helmet Sunblocker?

    JaimeC, I have a Shoei Neotec with the built in sun shade slider which I love. This sun locker would attach to the interior of the clear visor above the line of sight to block out extra rays... kinda of like casting a shadow over your eyes.

    Helmet Sunblocker?

    Anyone try one of these? Or would electrical tape inside the visor accomplish the same effect? :cool:

    Brake lever replacement?

    Snowdog, was right, the lever swap out was a no-brainer. Once this weather front passes in a couple of days, I'll be able to get the bike back out on the road and test/adjust the new levers...the have a 6 position adjustment. It's seems as if the OEM levers were set at 5 for the rear, and 1 for...

    webBikeWorld compares 1st Gen and 2nd Gen C650 GT's

    Well, I've got the 2016 model, but now I am waiting for the 2017 model, it's rumored to have both stealth mode and ludicrous speed!! :cool:

    Thank you!

    Well, if I change from the C650GT, it's going to be the R1200RT, but that will be next year!!

    Brake lever replacement?

    Calling Skutorr...was the installation of the new levers pretty much plug and play?? Meaning that with simple tools it can be accomplished rather than taking it to the dealer and having them do it??

    Clearwater Darla LED lights

    So, here's my story. Ozzie's in Chico did a great job! Physically attaching the lights wasn't the greatest challenge. The wiring was. So, what I now have is an added on/off switch, plus the dimmer control. Hopefully, you all can see from the attached photos. The way the lights are rigged now, is...
