BMW 450 enduro (merged) threadfest...

yeh me too

thks

I have a sarari tank on my bike and that does make sence

hey guys - does anybody have a 2010 stock seat (and filler cover) they are interested in parting with?

Let me know....

you have pm . . ..

I have a starter question I was hoping you guys migt be able to help with.

Sometimes when I hit the starter button nothing happens. Nothing as in absolutely nothing. No clicking, engine turnover etc etc. Usually, if I hit it a few more times the bike fires up as expected - but obviously something is wrong.

I haven't been stuck with the bike due to this - but given that there is no kick starter I want to stay a step ahead on addressing this.

So, have any of you had a similar problem and if so how have you addressed it?

I already took the handlebar starter appart in an effort to clean it - but all the internals lool to be - well - internal - so there was really nothing accesible to clean.

are you flashing the headlights first? there is a starting sequence in the manual.

I thought the sequence was: hammer, bigger hammer and if that fails then read the manual.

I ran out of hammers. . ..

I just PM everybody i know,till i get an answer.



The 7th,hunh?

The snow should be gone in a couple weeks. Come on out. I'll let you wear the camera.

Think i gota get the 2 stroke out though,no X this time.

Had the bike out today for the first time since surgery last fall. Despite a long, cold winter here in Vermont, bike fired up right away with no problems. Did a quick oil change. Put on a new skid plate. And had to re-wire the tail/brake light as it kept shorting out.

Got to love that about a FI bike. Exactly why I bought g450x when it was one of the first FI bikes.

That's probably how it will go for me on the season's first enduro in two weeks. The only difference will be more falls, and mud instead of snow.

Dudes,

If you do not have one of these to assist in greasing your swingarm pivot shaft, you can find it here: https://www.bolt.com.au/m6-10-29mm-long-grease-nipples-p-32151.html?manufacturers_id=3

A short grease fitting barely fits and makes a mess. This one works perfect.

I posted this because it took a while to find this part in the US.

Happy Trails.

Hey all - I lost my service disk. Can somebody remind me of the recommend oil weight and capacity?

engine oil? its like, 10/30 and almost but not quite a quart

I'd use a 10w40 at least

Does you have the disk or owners book? What does it call for?
