    Bike stays in gear

    Thanks for trying to help, I thought I would get more responses on this, I guess it does not happen often or i placed it in the wrong category.

    Bike stays in gear

    3 times in the last 2 days my 2013 C650GT stayed in gear when I came to a stop and the engine stalled when holding the brake. The last time it stayed in gear and had to start and go at the same time. This maybe coincidence but in each of these times Im was using the right hand (front wheel)...

    Permanent side stand extender

    I appreciate the reply's but hard to imagine someone has not come up with a simple fix, I will look closely at the mounting points but it doesn't seem sloppy or loose. I seldom use the center stand as it is a major effort for me and I am uncomfortable while I am balancing the bike standing on...

    Permanent side stand extender

    Does anyone know of a source of a permanent side stand extender that will fit my 2013 C 650 GT. I would like to get the bike to sit up a little straighter when parked, I rarely use the rear stand. Thanks for any source info. I see a lot of them offered on Amazon but can't find any that say they...

    Akrapovic muffler

    I installed an Akrapovic slip-on muffler on my 2013 C650GT, but there is no place to reinstall heat shield from the original muffler, I can't find any reference to it in the install instructions, should I assume it is not intended to be put back. What have others done?

    Battery issue

    I am no mechanic but maybe someone can give some advice. I am on my second battery this year on my 2013 650 GT., The first one I replaced because I thought it had died the second has reacted like the first, after several days of non riding it will not crank and gives every indication of very low...

    How do you lift a C650GT onto the centerstand?

    I just ran across this article and I have to admit I find putting my 2013 model up on the center stand very intimidating. First you are standing holding the bike up and raise the side stand while on one foot, then you have to raise the other foot onto the center stand peg again holding the bike...

    Balance

    Low mileage less than 12K, tires look OK. I have speculated if the weight of the swing arm on the left side may contribute.

    Balance

    I added a cruise control throttle lock to my 2013 c650 GT, and have noticed that when I take my hands off the handle bars the bike wants to lean left. Anyone got a reason for this or fix, it makes throttle hand off , to rest, hard to do.

    windshield and speedometer problems

    I am a new member and new owner of a 2013 C-650-gt. It looks like the previous owner used it pretty hard and also didn't read the manual. I am getting things straightened out but I have 2 problems that may or may not be related. The the windshield will not go down, it is in the full up position...
