Hey guys, Has anybody come across a sound like this on their 800? It happens when the bike is cold and starts up and lasts for around a minute or so. If you have a minute to spare and can help please have a listen. When warm it's not there. Any clue? I've linked the vids below. Sorry wasn't...

Hey guys, Sorry if there is a thread somewhere about this. Wanting a cellphone holder for my 800. But not wanting to spend a lot of bucks. There are some nice options at our stores here but pricy. Also not wanting to wait 45-60 days from Aliexpress. Any local cheap options for this stuff...

Hi guys, My F650GS came with one key. To get a spare key that will start the bike etc do I need to go to BMW? Or can anyone just cut one for me? Don't want to be stranded with no key if my only one goes missing. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm new to the WD and F650 family. Picked up a 2005 F650GS on Monday. Very stoked. Just wanted to ask a question re: the chain. How often do you guys clean/lube your chains? I'm assuming it depends on the type of riding you do. (Mud/Tar etc.) Also any other advice re: servicing...
