I had that happen on my first 2013. But what would happen then is that it wouldn’t idle and the engine would die and I would have to restart it so I don’t know if it would cause the opposite but I will mention it to the tech. With no codes showing he’s probably going to have to start pulling...

A couple months ago my throttle started not settling down to an idle on my 2019 c650gt. It wasn’t every time at first but quickly moved to every time. The rpm would creep up to the third bar on the display which would cause the clutch to engage enough to pull the bike into an intersection if I...

Throttle, A couple months ago my 2019 c650gt throttle started not settling down to an idle at stop signs/lights. Sometimes a little fast on 2 bars but started creeping into three bars on the rpm’s. This is causing the clutch to engage enough that if I don’t hold a brake the bike will try to...

This was not just a 4 way stop, it was a 4 way traffic light. I had a green light and the other driver had a red light that had been red for several seconds. I’ve learned to wait a moment or two for people trying to beat the light and not making it.

In August of 2021 I had a disagreement with a pickup truck while on my 2013 c650gt. At a 4way traffic light my lane turned green and I started to pull into the intersection. Somehow out of 5he corner of my eye I realized that the truck was not slowing down for his red light. I slammed on the...

I’m sure others will say the same thing. Find out which timing chain tensioner it has, manual or hydraulic. This forum has several threads about them.

In regards to the speed limiting, check the speed rating on the tires. I don’t know what the 400s wear but my C650Gt is limited to 106 due to the weird size tires (supposedly only 3 bikes use this size) only being rated for 112mph. I don’t ride near that fast but was curious about the speed...

I had an incorrectly installed alarm on my 2013. If I didn’t ride it every 2-3 days it would drain the battery so low it would not crank. I tried using a battery charger but it would not restore power. They were Napa batteries and they must have swapped at least 6 in a two year period before...

This may be out in left field. If the tire is securely mounted put the bike on the center stand and first check for play in the wheel bearing although that should have been checked when the tire was mounted. If the wheel bearings are good then have someone sit on the bike to weigh it down and...

The rubber cover is to prevent condensation and moisture from getting into the headlight housing. By itself it should not be causing an overheating condition. There must be something additional contributing to the situation.

On previous bikes I’ve had good luck with Cyclops leds. My car is VW and my mechanic had an Osram in stock so I am trying it. Only been a couple of months so I will haveto see how long it lasts.

I don’t know what State Farm did with my 2013 here in Tulsa after a minor collision Aug of 22 that warped the front forks. Repair costs were enough to total the bike but there were still lots of usable parts on the bike. You can try contacting Ron’s Cycleland on Tuesday to see if they have it...

My two 13s and my 19 all have left/rear and right/front.

I don’t remember which time I had a broken lug but I tried a two part epoxy first and when that didn’t work I tried an auto bonding epoxy kit that came with a ‘filler’ powder to add body to the repair. Even scuffing up the mating parts did not let the adhesives to stick to whatever plastic that...

Just for giggles, not my 650Gt but my first scooter a Helix clone was knocked over by a runaway shopping cart. Just minor scratches.

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this on their bike. About two weeks ago I started noticing that the clutch was not completely disengaging at stop lights. If I let off the brakes and not moving the throttle the bike wants to slowly pull forward. A quick rev of the throttle and it usually...

Temporarily some clear Gorilla Tape could keep the front corner from being pushed out.

Actually the gust of wind just pushed the front of the panel out so that the wind at 65mph tore the panel off.

Do not ride at hiway speeds until you get that remedied. A gust of wind can come up from the front wheel well and blow the panel right off of the bike. Yes this happened to me on my second 2013 GT.

It only needs to be missing the one screw at the front. It sounds like the dealership did not reinstall it after servicing the battery or the front tab on the panel that the screw goes into was broken off (that’s what happened to me).
