Has anyone had trouble with their fuel gauges, mines stuck on two bars, doesn't alter no matter how much fuel I put in or how much I use, any advice appreciated, its a 2016 model so fortunately still under warranty, but now off the road until spring arrives.

Thanks exavid I will certainly try that, I do tend to do fairly leisurely starts as I thought I was being kind to the transmission. The dealer told me at the launch of the new model some of the journo's were holding the front brake on and winding open the throttle to smoke the back tyre, crazy...

The slow clutch response is one of the improvements on the 2016 model, I've no complaints with the take off speed, just the shuddering

Bought my 650gt new in April this year (new Model) and really enjoying it although only done a couple of thousand miles, my problem is just recently it as started to judder on take off, but the puzzling thing is it only does it when the engine is cold, once warmed up properly its fine, anyone...

I've recently bought some BMW Urban boots, and well pleased with them, not Goretex but made with a oiled leather, so pretty waterproof and on a scooter your feet don't get as wet as a normal bike. Here in the good old British Isles we know plenty about getting wet.

And me, ordered a new 2016 GT last week in white with all the bells and whistles including the colour matched top box, for collection on April 8th can't wait.

Beerman, what are you close to buying ? don't keep us in suspense, and from where.

I think (hope) most of the early minor niggles, problems and recalls should have been well sorted now on the 2016 model.

Beerman ring Mark at Pidcocks he'll soon fix you up with a good test ride, at one of there other nearby shops they are Triumph agents you could then try a Bonneville back to back and see which you prefer, two very different machines though, similar performance though the scoot as a lot of...

Hi Beerman I live real near to you and I know what you mean that the dealers don't seem that interested in the scooters, mainly because most of the salesmen are young so less than 125 bhp is boring. I looked into buying a C650GT 3yrs ago and could not get a test ride anywhere, so didn't...
