Hello everyone, just got my W650 a few weeks ago and a couple of issues
have arisen. probably been dealt with before but who knows.

Handlebar Shake: when throttling back from 50+ or so mph, the
handlebars give a wobble/shake at between 45-50mph, ok if you've got
both hand on the handlebars, but if for some reason you don't, there is
a noticeable shimmy until the speed drops to 40-45mph. Thought it mught
have been down to a worn (very) rear tyre, but a new one has made no
difference.

Momentary cough: sometimes, the engine gives a 'cough'. It alwaqys
recovers instantly and then won't happen again for the rest of the ride.

Any suggestions for these issues, or are they all like it?

Thanks

Pete

***Satalite everything is where the future is...sat tv..sat phones..sat radio...sat phones we've learned the value of after the Huricane in New Orleans..the sat phones were the only thing that worked! Dish Network is the Sat TV carrier I have and I also have Sirius Sat radio and it is the BEST by far...I've heard that Dish offers Sat internet...have you heard?? and how much??

Can't you get ordinary broadband?

Anyone using a satellite internet provider? We're stuck on a 56k modem that rarely runs faster than 28k, I was thinking of going to Hughesnet as the costs are coming down. If so, I'd appreciate your opinion.

My dog loved the trip..she's 15 yrs old and probably wont be here at this time next year with me, she's a chiwawaaa. I had a bicycle there with a basket on the front and I would ride her all around in it and she really liked that...more time on that than the W.

I just recently took a trip to the beach with my brother and we took my
trailer with our bikes strapped on. This trailer is much cheaper in cost
then a regular Motorcycle trailer but I customized it and it is actually
much better than what they sell for bike trailers. It's a 5ft wide by
10ft in length with 2inch wood board planks for the floor...so I was able
to sink in large eye bolts for tie downs on the floor aswell into the
metal railing all along the sides for added hooks. The wheels are on
13inch rims so they are big and you can really roll with them without
worring about burning up the bearings like on the small wheels that come
with most bike trailers. It fits two bikes comfortably with added room
behind for luggage storage and this is where I boxed it off on the sides
with a removable center board for the bikes to roll on and off but the
center board keeps everything from slidding forward. The trailer was
around $800. US dollars and about $100. dollars or so in hardware. I
bought the trailer at Lwes and as I said it is a far better equipped
trailer than a $2000. plus bike trailer with small wheels and just for one
bike really. Here are some pics below..

Nice rig, Matty. I like the built-in ramp...makes it really easy to walk the
bikes up.

I had a similar trailer, without the ramp, for my sidecar, but recently sold
it. It was out in the weather (I'm a couple of blocks from the beach) and
getting rusty really fast.

So how did the dog like the trip to the beach? ;->

Matty,
Nice job. My wife works for Lowes and I've looked at those trailers
before...can't beat it for the money.

Anytime you and your brother feel like some mountain riding just
come on down. Leave your car and trailer at my house and take off
for a day or two (or three, etc)...

If they are fishpipes, you are in the Uk and you want to sell then I

might

well be interested, although this wouldn't involve a swap on my

stock pipes

as I want to keep those.

I am looking at a 2001 w650 and it looks and sounds like it has after
market pipes. I don't think it was rejetted after the install to pipes
are blued and it has some lean surging. I was wondering if any one has
stock pipes they would like to sell or is there any way to add baffles
to aftermarket pipes and rejet.
thanks

I always used to get positive comments on mine as well. You shouldn't be surprised about people knowing about Lawson as he is arguably one of the 3 best road racers the USA has ever produced.
Dick

BMW do not usually discount bikes but they often do deals on the extras. the problem is post season I will probably get less for my CB 1300 S
Dick

Neat! A huge road/trail bike! Nice.

Ruari

Might be better deals on them post-season.

I rode it fitted with the low seat (to suit my short legs) and found it

is ideal considering my old knee injury ( or should that be injury

to give plenty of protection. Like my CB it is very tractable and once
moving you very seldom have to use the gear box. Cruising at 85-90

unmistakably has the character of a BMW boxer.All in all fitted with

Jim,
Cool. That will work out good. I'm going to get my wife to ride
down with me (at least for one day)....I know she'd get a kick out
of meeting all you folks.
