Here is what my experience on C650 tells me. I have bought an aftermarket exhaust by GPR, called Furore 4 Evo. When I replaced the air filter with K&N, the fuel consumption jumped up to 8L per 100km, without significant performance feeling, only more noise. The air flow is too unrestricted...

Welcome, Madeline! What have you been riding before?

I have had the same situation too, but on a bike I test rode. The guy installed a charger plug himself and could not figure how to put it back together properly, or simply broke the front tab on disassembly. He simply used a transparent (and unnoticeable to me) duct tape to keep front angle in...

When was the fluid last changed? What about pads condition? Seizing happens when they overheat.

I have had the front revalved by Peter from ProMecha, and boy oh boy...it handles now awesomely With Gear-Racing Hill rear shock, all I had to do is reduce compression damping a bit, to let front talk to rear, e.g. bike swing under me not lift me, when going over bumps. Very happy now!

If you're a Kymco fan, find the MyRoad 700i (heavy AF) or Xciting 500ie (1-cylinder beast). I have had Downtown 300i tuned extensively and it was beating almost everything in 3s for 0 to 80kmh, 4.5s to 100kmh and no cog dramas. Too bad I tried that 100 RON fuel, the cylinder started ringing and...

Tyre pressure sensor was 230 AUD for me, installed when tyre change time has come. It lasted only 26000km in the rear

Hello Flo As long as the seller did not describe the issues prior to announcing the amount wanted for the bike, You should ask and receive discounts accounting for replacement of the tyre pressure sensor and the radiator (part cost and workmanship). If the radiator could have been cleaned by a...

After few months of riding, I believe I have finally adjusted the shock the way it should be. Preload smack in the middle (130mm of the range 127-133mm) and may want another turn to firm it up. Rebound to max. Dampening to taste, on the go. Initially felt a bit "interfered" with my left boot on...

I am with a local race suspension specialist now. Will take a month... This is the only change left to improve the bike, since I am not top-end-hungry, I'm not racing. I considered upgrading to Aprilia SRV 850 - had test rides twice - but despite better suspension and better (stronger) engine...

Hello I am not happy with the bouncy front - especially after upgrading and properly tuning the rear with H2 from gear-racing.com There is simply not enough rebound in the front, and nothing can be adjusted Has anyone any advice for me? Any existing off-the-shelf upgrades? Has anybody gone down...

Just an update on the tall touring Puig - it is indeed the best windscreen for C650 Sport in noise and wind protection area. Makes me wonder why the stock one has a different shape :)

Yep, clutch is major design flaw of the C650, so far from the perfect wet multi-plate on T-Max... I've replaced mine with Dr.Pulleys, but it ships with too tight spring sets (all of them) so engages at higher RPMs which is a nuisance in the slow jammed traffic when I want to crawl quietly...

I am back to the sexy malossi short, while waiting for puig tour to arrive from america. started to get thumbs up from strangers and passers by again…not much difference with noise but a tad more turbulence and consumption at speed

C650 is the better one, unless you're squeezing through the city jams all the time, like in Asia. If funds and your physique allow, go for it; parts are available

Almost nothing is coming to Australia. Neither is Honda X-ADV…nor NM-4 The crocodile industry (real estate) ate the rest of the animals… no variety anymore

Yeah, sometimes results differ from expectations. For example, after several years of playing with various windscreens on my previously owned T-Max, I have settled on this one...

Looks super-dorky, I'd probably look at something black to sit on top of the brake oil capsules (two bolts there).

Cops in Oz use optical parallax systems, so radar detectors are useless.

There's also these guys TALL TOURING SCREEN BMW C 650 GT WINDSCREEN WINDSHIELD FLIP UP PROFILE TOURER They misquoted me a screen for C650 Sport as 71cm tall, but that was a GT version. Their Sport version is 65cm, too short. I ordered a PUIG 9015W while still available.
