F650GS Updates

No word on the bike today. I suspect the problem is with fuel delivery. Fuel pump, regulator, or injector. Not happy with the service department at South Sound BMW, but we have no option at this point. What happened to listening to the owner? I miss my shop!

  1. You need a helmet sticker that sez, " I'd rather push a Har-(oops) BMW than ride a Honda.

  2. Yeah right! I've been looking on line for the sticker but it seems all the different versions end up with me pushing a Harley. What's up with that?

  3. Not sure you could keep up, Ed.

  4. Haha...nice. I'd better be careful I don't tick off the entire Harley population then tell them where I'm gonna be every night. I'll wave the white flag now for my own safety.

  5. The bike is ready for pickup!! Some talk about oil in the air filter and I might have overfilled it. Not sure if that's why the plug was fouled or if that can even happen. They falshed the computer with an update, replaced the plug, adjusted the valves, tested the injector, and cleaned oil out of the air filter box.

  6. Yup the fix seems easy. Don't over fill the oil, buy the most expensive gas you can find, and hold down the starter button a couple seconds after it goes so the computer initializes.
    Had a nice ride tonight after we picked up the 650. Weather dry tonight and the temp around 45. Used the intercom for the first time and LOVED it. She also commented to me she felt safer knowing when turns were comming. This set will allow me to answer my cell (AS IF) and listen to tunes.
    Little blue bike is running great!

  7. Put about 2 hours on the bike today and no problems. The shop boys at "south sound BMW" spotted us at the shop today and made it a point to come out and ask how things went today.

    Scala intercom...How did we ever ride without them?

  8. What an awesome day of riding around the ranges on Ft. Lewis. to get the "Little Mrs" some gravel road, mud, and water practice. Made a short movie and for some of you the first time to see her ride. I promise I am doing all i can to teach her safe riding. Wonderful to see her out and living life.

    Thanks Russ and Michelle for the wonderful dinner after our ride. Totally unexpected, Thank you both for the nice time.

    Enjoy the video....are we rookies or what? Poor Quality I know but we had to srink the file to upload it.
