This has happened to me. I’m betting that the screw at the front corner was missing. If it’s not there a gust of wind can come up from the front wheel well and blow the panel off. I new mine was missing when I bought it from another owner but did not know this could happen. 65 mph on the way to...

Don’t count on it. My first GT was only2-3 years old when the idle control valve hoses went bad. They looked like a cat with very sharp claws swiped at them. Not expecting those hoses to go bad there were none in the states and I had to wait a month before they arrived from Germany. Hopefully...

There should have been four screws. Two high, one in the glove box and one at the front corner. There are two slots at the bottom that go onto two tabs on the lower panel. If you travel at hiway speeds you need the screw at the front corner, otherwise a wind gust can come up from underneath and...

My fingers did not want to uncurl after my first 600 mile ride. Since ne Oklahoma can be hilly a throttle lock is not a good fit for me. I ended up with a ‘Cramp Buster’ that is a friction fit over the throttle grip that I can adjust as needed. They are fairly cheap.

I would check to make sure that the service says “must replace” instead of “inspect and replace if needed”. The original service on the 650gts were the former and later changed to the second. Made a big difference in maintenance costs.

This may sound stupid but have you checked the kill switch, if the lights come on you shouldn’t have to turn the key any further. My two previous 2013s and my current 2019 only move one position clockwise from vertical.

I’ve posted on one of the causes before. It could be one or both of the vacuum lines going to the idle control mechanism. I had this problem and another member posted about his troubles and like his mine was caused by the vacuum lines. This may not be your cause and the only way to be sure is...

After two factory screens fractured an inner layer(pretty to look at but hard to look through) I purchased a Calsci for my second 2013 GT. After it was wrecked the 2019 that I bought as a replacement has a V-Stream (sp?) on it both are better than factory but I still get buffeting. I am 6 foot...

When the first gps tracker was installed incorrectly on my 2013 GT it kept draining the battery until I got the full sizes Battery Tender. I had purchased a replacement battery from Napa and before I got the bigger charger I must have exchanged 6 batteries that summer with no hassle from them...

Yes, both front and rear. Plugs into existing electrical wiring.

I might be having the same problem. My 2019 has a Corbin saddle on it when I bought it but the seller included the original seat. I’m thinking about swapping the seats back to see if the heater works then.

F you mail the key in how do they know what to program the chip for? Unless you also have to mail in a good key for them to copy?

Somehow yesterday this topic brought up the messages from ‘hand guards’ which this reply is to. I opened the thread several times but got the hand guards content.

If they are like the c650 they do. I lost one of mine (found it later) and had to provide the dealership a copy of my title for them to fax/email to Germany for them to program a replacement key. You might be able to get a locksmith to program, I don’t know.

Until you get guards in emergency carry some nitrile gloves. I had a pair of lite motocross gloves for wet weather and found if I put the nitrile on underneath then water does not contact the skin to leach out the warmth as quickly.

Did someone try to steal it?

Check the two vacuum lines going to the idle control. They get old and crack. Three years ago the ones on my 2013 looked like a cat had clawed them. Engine stalled every time I stopped at a light or stop sign. The lines were only $13.00 apiece then but had to wait for them to come from Germany...

Trying to find out if the 2017 version of the service manual will cover my 2019 C650Gt. Need to find out how to remove handlebar cover without breaking any tabs.

Just a reminder for those riders wanting to go faster, check the speed rating on your tires. Supposedly the 650s are limited to 106mph because the tires are only rated for 112mph.
