Hey guys, I'm struggling to find the part number for the left hand switchgear housing (Just the plastic bit that goes over the switches) for my 2006 650. I've been looking everywhere on the fiches on RealOEM, but I guess I'm looking with my arse. The plastic thread broke off, so it's split...

Hey everyone, A few months ago someone posted a photo of their beautiufl F650GS, with a custom white/red/blue paint scheme in the style of the BMW 30 year GS bikes. It was probably in the for sale section, not sure? I've been sniffing around for a long time now, but I'm afraid for a wilddog my...

My first scraped footpeg  :thumleft:

I ran into this guy and his chick outside Wild@heart. He's shipped this beauty down from Switzerland and now they're going to ride up to Egypt! He said the bike + kit weighs over 400kg.  :o Best of luck to them!  :thumleft: As for me I'll just have to be content with enjoying the commute to...

Howzit guys! I'm thinking of taking my F650 and doing some of the offroad courses the countrytrax guys offer, with the idea of going on a trip to Namibia later this year. I just wanted to hear some opinions and advice on what I need on my bike. It's pretty much a stock F650GS single (the sissy...

Hey guys, Do you know if any normal dirt roads/grondpaaie around the Southern Suburbs that we can legally ride on? I've found one or two near Tokai forest. There's also one running up from the circle at the Constantia nek (where they usually sell fruit) that goes up to some kind of art shop...

... there are few things in life more exhilarating than riding a twisty road in the night! But you guys already know that  :thumleft:

Howzit guys! I seem to remember that usually when I switched the key all the way off the odo screen switched off as well. (2005 650GS twin spark). Normally the only screen that stayed on was the clock. I gave the bike a good wash the other day and I suspect some water got in somewhere, because...

Howzit guys, I'm riding between Cape Town and Durban, and was wondering if anyone can recommend a lekker place to stay over that's roughly mid way? :ricky: Thanks! Meuli EDIT : Yea forgot to mention, I'm following mostly the N2 :)

Hey guys! Just a quick question : You know those metal 'expansion joints' on the elevated freeway coming from the N2 into Cape Town? One of them is right on a bend. Now, when its wet, and I drive over that one in my car, I can actually feel the whole car sliding out a bit to the outside of the...

Hey guys, Today I've finally summoned up enough courage to take my F650 (my first bike ever) out into the the 'real world' of traffic and intersections and taxis. It took me some time to get comfortable enough, and I didn't want to go 'out' until I had some instruction. I took some lessons from...

Hey guys, I feel like such a chop. I had my first zero speed drop of my bike.. :'( Was trying to put it on the centrestand when I lost my footing. The bike rolled away from me towards a wall, but I was pulling as hard as I could to try stop it, so it happened in slow motion, sadly inevitably...

Hey Guys! Yet another complete and utter N00b here. I live and work in Cape Town, and for some inconceivable reason the bike bug is biting, just as the cold fronts start rolling in ::) I must admit that I know fet-mooi-nokkol about bikes, but there is a rather lovely F650GS that I'm looking at...

Hey guys! I've been mulling over getting a bike for a while now, and I think I've found one that I like. I'd like to pick your brains if possible please, regarding whether you guys think this is a good deal: 2008 (Might be 2007) BMW F650GS (Twin Spark), with ABS, Heated Grips, and about...
