Re: Seat Bracket
Originally on the bike it had a catch that was released by key. The key barrel was located on the left side where the subframe meets before the rear shock mounts by the top rear corner of the side

Re: Seat Bracket
Yes it¡¯s the bracket with the notches. I brought the bike last December and it had a home make seat. It looks like it should have a quick release, I¡¯m missing the hardware. Thanks

Re: Seat Bracket
By seat bracket do you mean the two pins with notches? They are meant to click into a fastening mechanism that is attached to the frame. But it¡¯s hard to tel what you mean without a photo.

Re: Idle adjusting cable
That's great for the reply, after posting our query we had another look, tilted the bike over and removed both sides of the air box and battery and could see the placement. This enabled me to hold in

Re: Vibration
Similar vibration problems on a different bike (Kawasaki Ninja 650R vertical twin) and the only thing that worked was a bar snake. Fiddled around with steel and lead weights at ends, just changed the

Re: Vibration
It might be the bars.?? Is there a way to add weight inside or add weighted mirrors that mount on the inside of the ends.That would change the residence and maybe make the vibration go away. I

Vibration
Hi all. Not a new topic I'm sure.. I moved to a 16t countershaft sprocket and 120/90 rear on my 650. Speedo is spot on with GPS now but I feel vibration has gone crazy. My right thumb often goes numb
Re: Alternate Battery and Light Options
Don¡¯t know how old the battery in mine is. It came with the bike 6 years ago. It spends time on a smart charger winter and summer when not ridden regularly. Don in Niagara 2000 W650

Re: Alternate Battery and Light Options
I put a gel battery in my last W650. Worked pretty well and wasn't crazy expensive
Re: Alternate Battery and Light Options
I have had an Earth-X brand lithium battery on my Yamaha FZ1 since early 2014 and it is still working flawlessly.? Weighs a couple of pounds and is half the size of the stock battery.

Re: Idle knob & rpms
Mr Seconds has provided a very nice roundup of the starting procedure in all weathers. And if at all possible use no ethanol gas or at least the very lowest ethanol blend. Your carbs will thank you

Re: Idle knob & rpms
Well folk the reliability of the W650 is confirmed by many riders. My 1999 edition has now completed just over 60,000 miles (96,560k) as we returned recently from a 10day tour of the Northern Spanish

Re: Idle knob & rpms
this all goes back to the proper starting procedure. W is like an 'old man easing into a bathtub.' No matter the ambient temp, at the initial start of the day, the W requires sliding the fuel
