Another chapter ensues in this sad basket case of a bike. Went out for a good thrash of 150 miles yesterday and while on the throttle I became aware of the motor seeming noisier than usual, no smoke, high MPG and still goes like a rat down a sewer pipe, noise lessens when idling with the clutch pulled in, AND the clutch has started to adjust itself on the move, had to back off the adjuster at the lever as it started to feel "tight" 70k plus miles, abused by previous owner and his service provider. Now, I have a tendency to get a tad paranoid where my bikes are concerned, so would anyone local with a F650 GS Dakar be prepared to have a listen or a run out for me, either to put my mind at ease or confirm my worst suspicions, free tea or coffee to the benevolent rider, PM me for details. Failing that, who is the "Guru" around these bikes?
