Hi folks, First time poster here, so please be gentle. I recently acquired a 2022 W800, which I know isn't a W650 but as far as I can see the overall design is similar. I'm looking for a handlebar bag. I was curious what other people here (both W650 users and W800 users, if there are others) have been using? I've attached some pictures with some measurements. There's a Quad Lock on my handlebars at the moment, but I assume it can just be moved closer to the handle to accommodate a bag. Any help would be most appreciated, thanks! Sam

Can anyone list the changes that have been done to this bike? Has it been lowered? Are the wheels original? What tank is that? Tires? Exhaust? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSIcETNZvTw

Well boys I (barely) survived but my baby didn’t and it’s time to bid her farewell. I’m hoping she can help out the community by getting fixed up by an enthusiast or parted out to help the fleet live on. If anyone wants the whole mess and is willing to pick it up in San Francisco, let me know. I can send more pics if need be. I don’t presently remember if it’s a 2000 or 2001. If nobody bites, I’ll consider parting it out but again I’d strongly prefer local pickup cuz I deeply hate the whole shipping hassle. I could also possibly deliver parts in the LA / SoCal area. Luckily I have two more, but this was the jewel of the collection. I guess I just have to rebuild the next one… Brian

Hi all, For some reason relatively all of the varnish on the engine sides and even the metal bevel cover started cracking and coming off. Reckon some cleaning agent must have attacked it. Ive seen some badly oxidized w650s and wondered if there was any success in preventing that? Or re-vsrnish simehow without disassembly?

CALIFORNIA FOCUS My Video.mpg California FOCUS was made as an introduction to the California Motorcyclist Safety Program, and I was one of the featured instructors, filmed at the Hollywood Bowl, an MTC training site. I still haven't been able to locate my copy of the MSF movie, HOW TO TEACH THE ERC, those who participated in that movie's production were given a VHS tape of that movie, I can't find mine, I would like to have a copy, I don't need the VHS tape, a digital copy would work for me. I recently found the movie, CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIE TOWN, on YOU TUBE, the ladies in that film took the MSF course from me at the Hollywood Bowl training site. Catheryn Carlin and Jamie Rose, two of the stars in that movie were on my FB as friends (FB turned my page over to another Jim Franklin and I no longer have access to it, so I lost touch with those ladies).

Some people were having trouble opening up the videos I got from Legacy Box. They were down loaded from Beta tapes and I received a thumb drive and DVDs from Legacy Box. Anyway, while I was teaching for Steve in California, I got to teach a lot of celebrities. My Alice was editing one of the videos, which had 4 segments, the third one was the one with Channel 13, the 4th one is a talk show with Jackie Zieman, she was a hoot. I also had Sinbad, David Hasselhoff, Kim Cattrell, and a bunch of others, like most of the ladies from CYCLE CHICKS IN ZOMBIE TOWN (the ladies took the class together, Jamie Rose and Catheryn Carlin were on my Face Book...maybe I should open that up again). Paul Lamount and Sharon Ferrell are pictured here.

My initial Chief Instructors were Ron Shepard and Morgan Keene. My update to the RSS was with Ron Shepard and Beth Weaver. The base commander for the Los Angeles AFS enrolled me in my Instructor Preparation Course at an Air Force base near Riverside CA, which worked out because I was living in Riverside at the time. I began teaching for the AFB at Long Beach Naval Station because we did not have a training site on LAAFB. While I was teaching at Long Beach, the Chief Instructor, Steve Bransky, who ran a course at that base on the weekends, was on the base on a week day, preparing his training bikes for the week end, watched me teaching a course there, and during a break, offered me a job teaching for his program, the MOTORCYCLE TRAINING CENTER (MTC), the most prolific site in the USA at that time. I made the sacrifice and left my part time job as a club manager at the LAAFB NCO CLUB, to begin teaching for MTC. I set up the LAAFB site in EL Segundo, after I had been teaching for almost a year, where the air base actually was. The video attached was filmed at the LAAFB site, Steve Bransky was the primary Instructor, and I assisted him, so he did the class room and I rode most of the demos. I am riding the demos on my Honda CB 650 SC.

Hi there, Does anyone know where to find replacement screens for the petcock? They are showed as A in the service manual but the parts manual doesn’t seem to indicate a part #. Thanks! Best regards, Paul

Hi peeps, Got a couple of quick questions/requests that I'm hoping someone on here has the technical knowledge/effort to spare to answer for me: Firstly does the throttle sensor adjust the timing when the bike is in use or is it just there to facilitate the function of the kickstand safety feature? I know that when the kickstand is still down and you drive to rev it kills the power so obviously the throttle sensor is involved in this feature but does it actually do anything else? If the kickstand safety feature was removed along with any associated elements could the throttle sensor then also be removed? I've played round with bikes that have CDI ignition systems like this before and none of the earlier bikes I've messed with have had or needed a throttle sensor so I am curious to know if the kickstand safety kill is all that it is there for. Secondly would someone be able to post me a pic of the underside of the carbs? I had my float bowls off and was about to start putting them back on and have found a fifth slightly longer screw that I am not sure actually came off of the carb or is simply one that was left on my bench when I started. Also I am in the process of fitting pod filters to the standard CV carbs and am trying a custom trick of making some short aluminum tube inserts to sit inside the pod filter that reduce ever so slightly to create a restriction and therefore maintain the constant velocity required to keep these carbs working as they should. If anyone's interested I'll post up pics of my custom inserts and of the results of how it runs etc... and before anyone says why am I putting pod filters on and to just leave the standard air box it's because I am going to start modifying the frame so there is no room for the standard airbox. Thanks in advance!

Not sure I've posted about this but my right carb has loads of buildup. Didn't have this problem on my last W and it's only the right carb. Hope I've not got ring blowby or something like that.
