I seem to recall many years ago that Congress mandated that metric system speed limit signs be used on all interstate highways. For some reason that never happened. Probably due to the 65 mph speed...

Adding more oil won't help. That will make the clutch drag even more. Besides the clutch adjustment make sure that you are not using a heavier oil than recommended. Maybe you have installed the...

I was impressed that the fuel tank didn't shrink and the price only went up $100. That is certainly not the trend with most new and revamped motorcycle models lately. I think Kawasaki made a lot of...

You just can't keep a good turd down. Who needs a GS to get you around the world when a KLR will get you there too. Maybe a bit slower, but at least it can be fixed with a rock and screwdriver. I...

My Zero's drive belt acts the same way. It must be a charismatic of belt drives. :confused:

The latest BMW Authority model has arrived, complete with a 10.25 inch wide computer tablet for an instrument screen on which you can watch BMW new model introduction videos. I wonder how large the...

If you really want to blow your money on buying a motorcycle you need to invest in one of these. [|)] Those guys who make the $60K Brough Superior are pikers: :rolleyes: ...

I don't know what model F800 that you have, but my 2009 F650GS has never had its fan come on and the temperature gauge has never risen above the first mark on the gauge no longer how long it idles....

Welcome to the F800 forum Sofarsogood. I have no doubt you will enjoy riding your GSA and also visiting this forum when you have nothing better to do. [:)]

Welcome Numbnuts57. Many engines don't like to be placed under a load while in too low a gear, typically under 4K rpm, and will make a knocking noise. While my 2009 F650GS does not do that, your...

It seems to me like using the starter motor to provide slo-mo movement might be a better way to go. I think that is the way Honda does it and I seem to recall that at one time BMW might have had a...

Which would be powered by a little generator with a rubber wheel rubbing against the side of the tire. Kind of makes me wonder how the possum-scraper wheel would get enough traction against the tire...

What do you make of this? :confused: https://www.motorcycle.com/mini-features/michelin-patents-rear-fender-with-built-in-auxiliary-drive-motor.html

It was a beautiful sunny day at Alice's Restaurant today, which brought out this interesting 396 Turbo-Jet Corvette. That is the first time I have ever heard of that model. Is that a factory car, or...

I don't believe that we have any "volunteer administrators" left on the forum that might have the power to help you resolve your problem. The last one is taking a one-year sabbatical from the forum. ...

Welcome, Mick. I bet you are enjoying your summer while riding your GSA right now. [:)]

As always, just follow the money. :rolleyes:

The story is spreading all over the motorcycle press outlets. This article has a quote from someone who was there during the raid: ...

I bet those two employees that were at the HQ when the FBI raided it needed a change in underwear after that visit. [eek]

I can tell you this: Removing the old shock and installing the new one was not an easy task. If I recall correctly I needed a new upper mounting bolt (or was it the lower bolt?) as it was a...

Here is another article regarding the proposed BSA electric motorcycle which includes an illustration of what the vehicle might look like :...

My F650GS charging system keeps my lithium battery fully charged and there is no indication that the battery is not charging properly. However, I invested in a small solid state Deltran lithium...

This is the battery that I bought for my F650GS. I bought the best one that I could. It has no problem starting my bike when it is cold. But cold here means 40 degrees F and it is typically 60...

I installed the Ricor rear shock on my F650GS 8 years ago. I have been very happy with the shock under all riding conditions since installation. My only complaint is that they only have a screw-type...
