The other day, I started the bike, it caught for a second then died. Turns over fine, fuel pump builds up pressure. No spark. Bummer. I began to tear the bike...
Guys, Thanks for all the tips on the GC @ high kilometers. It seems the connectors are the big ones. I'll be taking a look at them over the coming days (after...
Check fuses under seat. Does the fuel pump "hum" when key is first turned on? No matter what, replace spark pugs with new...brand new. Make sure battery is...
So I finally got some pics of the F650gs handguards on the GC. Full lock there's about 4mm clearance from the fairing not even close to the tank. The bar...
Try to sit on the bike "rise" the sidestand and pull in the clutch handle and then push the start button. There are known problems with the sidestand switch,...
Dear Wayne, I like the look of your hand guards. Hard to tell from the photo exactly how you mounted the right (brake) side. Did you fabricate a bracket like...
Thanks guys for the suggestions! Yesterday, I found a bad pump relay so far. I went to 3 auto parts stores, searching for a Bosch relay to insert into the...
there is a starter relay under the seat just in front of the battery box.you access it from the left side of the bike where all of the wiring harnesses are. it...
Joe, The brackets are the same (mirror image) right and left. Made from mild steel (I think .125"). Bars and levers are positioned to fit me not to fit the...
This is the cheapest I've found the pelican cases. http://www.all-pelican-cases-4-less.com/detail_pelican_1550.html ... Joe, The brackets are the same (mirror...
That's where I got the rear case. Cheap price, quick service. I spoke with Roger at Caribou cases to see if he was planning on making a set-up for the GC. Same...
Hi Laurence, I was lucky, the starter-solenoid, in front of the battery wasn't bad on my bike! It turned out to be a bad fuel-pump relay. Thanks for the tip. ...
Wayne -----Poppies??? I just rode through the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve Sunday, April 2 - there weren't no stinkin' poppies!!! And they wanted to charge...
My life just got a little easier. The key to my Nonfango top case broke off in the lock a couple days ago. Went to a locksmith to get it removed, and had him...
I 've been commuting on my Weestrom for last 2 weeks and today took Cagiva for a ride. I could clearly see now that handlebars are bent and I didn't...
I had bent the handlebar and ordered the genuine replacement part, but just before going to pick it up I walked into a store that carried Ducati genuine parts....
Anyone use one of these? ScottOiler, ProOiler, HawkeOiler, CLS200? Looks like a pretty clever idea. I haven't ridden a chain drive bike far enough to warrant...
I have the Hawke Oiler and like it. I can lube the chain when I want and how much I want. Pro oiler is also great but expensive, it sences the speed and oils...
I have a Scott Oiler I'd sell. http://www.catfishracing.com/For%20Sale/Scott_Oiler.jpg I think I paid $100 plus shipping. I'll eat shipping for $100. I started...
i'm new to the list and just got a 2000 Cagiva Gran Canyon. it only had like 200 miles on it. i'm very happy with it but should probably get the motor serviced...
... Here's where I started: <http://faq.f650.com/FAQs/ ScottoilerClassicFAQ.htm#Alternative%20Chain%20Oilers> Except, the CLS200 site link is outdated. It is...
Turu, If you bought the GC from a "dealer", you should still have the 2 year warranty but if you bought from a private party, you may be out of luck!! I...
I have been riding a long time, but I am not about to claim that I know everything about bikes. Most of my bikes have O-ring chains and I use chain wax on the...
Ray, good question!! I have never used an oiler either, after 40+ years of riding. With sealed o-ring chains, lube is only necessary to reduce the friction...
