Hi all. I’m new here and new to this particular bike. Please dont blast me if this has been covered/resolved already. I looked but couldn’t find anything. Problem is this. I have a 2012 f800gs that at 60mph the ABS light will come on. I can ride all day below that speed with no problem but once I hit 60+ the light comes on. Ive checked the rings, sensors, wires, and plugs. I hooked it to a scanner and got “front and rear wheel speed sensor: signal implausible (slip)”. With the code...

f you are interested in reading a very long and detailed discussion regarding gasoline and its use in motorcycles, here is a link to an article that was just published by Motorcycle.com:https://www.motorcycle.com/features/everything-you-need-to-know-about-motorcycle-fuel.html

Hi I’m upgrading springs in front forks and would like to know if someone has measurements of the black sliding sleeve that sits under the spring?
Looks like mine has been played with having a spacer top and bottom and I would like to go back to standard with the new springs,need the height of sleeve?
Cheers

f you ever fall over and damage your F800/700/650's shift selector shaft mechanism, here is a video showing how to replace it easily without even needing to drain the oil out of the engine. Anyone should be able to perform this task in their garage with a few common tools, after buying the necessary replacement parts:

Hi there.
I have F800GS 2016.
I have broke one of the rear signal.
Anyone know how to change that ?

My 2014 F800GSA blows the headlight bulb frequently - once every fortnight or so, and I am not riding much in that time.

This only started happening recently, never had a problem before. Bulbs would last a couple of years or so, I replaced mine at least three times so far.

My GS-911 diagnostic unit does not indicate any issue, so this is puzzling me. I can only imagine an electrical spikes might cause it, but this is a guess ..

Has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks
Chris

I located these wiring diagrams in the Haynes Service & Repair Manual for the BMW F800 & F650 Twins.

This seems like a useful article regarding how to clean and care for both your helmet and your face shield:
