What is the manufacture date of your bike?

I did my 600 mile last year and I only bought 3 quarts of oil, I had some mobil 1 10w40 4T that I top it off with. I plan to do the same next oil change soon. I bought 3 Hi-Flow HF-164 oil filters on ebay for $5.00 a piece with free shipping and I don't remember what I paid for the strainer and...

Yes I did and as I said the strainer was as clean as the new one I put in.

I changed the oil, filter, and strainer for about $50.00. The strainer came out clean as the new one.

I assume the land of a 10,000 lakes might be the land of 10,000 species of mosquitoes and a few species of biting flies. Here in central Mass we have small black flies with big teeth that swarm so bad they block out the light in early spring, then we have the onslaught of mosquitoes and then a...

Anyone from Minnesota who is familiar with the Paul Bunyan rail trail? I go Geocaching in my spare time and I noticed that the Paul Bunyan rail trail has a lot of caches hidden from Brainerd, MN heading north for 110 miles. What I would like to know the best time of the year to go out there. I...

Suzuki Vstrom 650, so far.

I had the 6sp, they had not come out with the dct or I would have bought it instead of the 6sp.

If I don't turn my left mirror all the way in I risk hitting the side of the garage or the track with the mirror. In order for me to turn my mirrors all the way in I have to lower the windshield all the way down and then the mirrors still rub against the edge of the wind shield. Engineering...

Are you referring to my post about turning in my mirrors? The reason I do is I have to back in the bike at an angle to avoid my car and a couple of times now I have caught the left mirror on the edge of the garage when I don't do it. So I should tell the Doctor that it hurts when I don't do it.

I like to turn in my mirrors when I park my bike in the garage but I have to lower my screen all the way down or the mirrors will hit the screen, even when the screen is all the way down the mirrors still rub the edge of the screen when I turn them in. Have you tried turning in your mirrors with...

Thanks, I lost sleep last night trying to figure out how the turn signal switch was connected to the movement of the bike. I'm still not sure how it works except there must be a timer involved, which I assumed all along, and a sensor/signal from the odometer? ABS/wheel? Transmission? Have you...

I guess I'll be timing it while it is moving, I'm glad you told me or would have been sitting someplace for a very long time.

On my GT the signals do cancel after a while, I was going to time it some day but it seems like it takes about a minute or longer. I suppose you don't want them to cancel while you are stopped at a traffic light.

One other error in the article is the backrest on the GT is adjustable. There are 3 bolts that have to be removed from under the seat and the backrest has 2 or 3 positions it can be moved to. My seat was in the furthest back position, I wanted it to go back a little further.

I've owned a couple of Burgman 650s and a Honda Silverwing and now a GT. The only reasons to buy a Burgman 650 over the GT are 1 History; the B650 has a history of being bullet proof which the BMW scooters have to earn over time. 2 HEIGHT, I think BMW might have solved the problem with being...

Hello, My name is Dave and I have been riding maxi scooters since 2004. My first was a Burgman 650, then a Silverwing, then a DN-01, then back to a Burgman 650 and now a C650GT. I had a few motorcycles mixed in with the scooters such as a Moto Guzzi Breva 1100, Suzuki Vstrom 650, and a Honda...
