Top speed

96 top speed for me, starts to wobble pretty good.

thats is what i guess in mine.. 185km/h tachometer. it has to be 175km/h real. NO top box. very important, and OEM screem. tyres 301/302 trailwing Brigestone

Radar confirmed 98 MPH.



Just kidding, the radar was closer to 80 if I remember.
The 98 was what I have shown on the GPS, just over 100 on the speedo and it was pretty tapped out.
Keep in mind I am ginormous and move a LOT of air.

I've hit the ton a few times. A mate on his Strada 176! He gets rid of the front end wobble by lofting the front wheel.

New head bearings and lifting the forks to the top of the triple clamp tested 101 mph just to see..zero wobble. But almost always keep it 80 or under. 37,570 miles now. Note them are the stock tires from a old pic. Change them out after 4,000 to mefos then cont trail attack 2.

tweber.. Did you notice better mileage now?. mine is now 48.000km i notice more vibes, more top speed, and at 90km/h 1 liter ia about 29.3km. clearly better than ever.

what i am worry about when you has changed the distribution engine chain.

you have to replace the timing (cam) chain when it is stretched too much. There is no service interval for this but you can check if it is stretched too much via the timing chain tensioner. At least that's how it was done on the Rotax engines but i am fairly sure it's still the same. I don't think you have to worry at 50k km. The cam chains seem to be good for at least 100k km but on earlier models the tensioner could cause trouble. Also, you will hear a rattling noise when the chain is too loose.

Have a look here at the bottom http://faq.f650.com/FAQs/CamChainFAQ.htm

o How do I actually check the Timing Chain Wear Limit?

• The Wear Limit Distance from sealing face of plug to piston of chain tensioner 9.0mm (0.35in) for the GS and 9.5mm for the Classic

1. Push hydraulic chain tensioner (4) in the direction of the tensioner rail in the guide on the cylinder, until resistance to movement is felt.
2. Measure distance (A) from the sealing face to the chain tensioner piston.
3. If the wear limit, distance "B", is exceeded, first inspect the tensioner rail and the two guide rails for score-marks and renew them if necessary.

Better milage...will check. Vibes come with summer heat and plugs that need to be replaced...on my bike.

thanks a lot.. for your advise.. i thought it was a km limits to replace it.
i will change to 50.000km.

we just change plugs and oil and filters.. i have changed the Powerex oil 10-60 to Castrol 10-50.

I have run Castrol 10-50 from day one. And on third set of stock plugs! Wuka spoof works fine still @ 38,000 miles. Stock airfilter witha 5/8 sheet uni-filter oil pre filter. Still great power....I am at sea level with high humidity.
