Hey @Dan_Lockwood any updates on whether you've been able to resolve the issue? I've got a similar situation.

Thanks for your input mate. I read elsewhere that you ride your bike hard. So do I. I am curious to learn more about your set up and (pro-active) service / part replacement routine if you don't mind sharing! I feel like there's a world of difference between those 'gentlemanly riders' and those...

Ordered the timing chain tensioner and CVT belt today to get both fitted in about two weeks from now (when they have hopefully arrived). In your experience, anything else you might as well get changed while you're at it?

Order the kymco timing chain tensioner and CVT belt today to get both fitted in about two weeks from now. In your experience anything else you might as well get changed while you're at it?

No goodwill whatsoever. Was quoted around 1KUSD for the job. Said no thanks. Got the parts (thanks again for your help) and will get this done by a local mechanic. Did inform them however, that I will bring this to the attention of the relevant government bodies as it is absurd that you require...

Quick update on my 2014 C650GT potential timing chain tensioner issues (likely). So I contacted my local BMW motorrad service centre to replace my mechanical timing chain tensioner. They explained that they no longer sell the part as they only offer the conversion kit. The conversion kit and...

w Where did you get these? BMW Australia no longer sells them as they only sell the hydraulic conversion kit. Hope this is covered under the recall. Will call the service centre later today.

Thanks for your input Cees. Greatly appreciated.

I guess it is time to get both the timing chain tensioner done and CVT belt. Thinking about directly upgrading to the hydrolic belt as I believe my scoot still has the original mechanical tensioner. Anyone with experience getting this done (or doing this themselves?)

You reckon buying used is OK or rather get it new...

Thanks mate! I'll look into this.

It is a 2014 c650GT with 19000 Kilometers on the ODO

Here's the video

This weird hard rattling sound appeared last week. Before that it was a "screeching" sound when taking off. It has recently been serviced and is due for a belt replacement next service. Anyone familiar with this sound and knows what might be causing it? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey RollaCosta, I'm also located down under. Keen to know where you bought your stuff because I'm interested in the same set up for my 2013 650GT.

I've got the quadlock brake reservoir mount in combination with a vibration dampener and it works a treat!

Good Q, As a Dutchie in the sometimes cold Victoria I am interested in this mod too.

Cees with a C is something I haven't seen yet! Nice to meet you DutchieintheUSofA. Yes they are pretty worn to the point where they're sticky and just uncomfortable. Still functional, just not great.

Hi all, New member from Australia here. Recently purchased a C650GT and I absolutely love the bike after selling my GS1200 and having previously owned vespa's (GTS300 and LX50), ridden many bikes and scooters. My grips are pretty worn after 17000km. As I've got the heated grips I am...
