Nice the yellow color. My fuel strip works fine. Your dealer sells you a nonsens story. Furthermore the motor is great to drive. Love it.

Revisiting this video having owned my 2010 for 5 years. My fuel strip and TPMS work perfectly. I guess I have been lucky. Almost 16K miles and no dealer visits. Only problem was a leaky valve cover gasket which I fixed myself. Now seriously looking at a Sargent seat. Thanks!

Early F650GS twins had a problem with the fuel strip and the leaky valve cover gasket but these problems got fixed by the dealer (here in Austria) and after that they are really reliable. One thing I did on mine was changing the spark plugs to iridium spark plugs and now even the vibrations at higher speeds are gone. I'm very happy with mine!

@@mambonumberfive2206 Gerne! Ich habe meine Maschine vor 2 Jahren gebraucht gekauft und zur jährlichen Inspektion in die BMW Werkstatt gebracht. Dort hab ich am Schalter nach der BMW-Werkstatthistorie gefragt. Das war dann eben bei 1000km der Füllstandsgeber, bei 6000km Kettenritzel + Kette und bei 11600km Zylinderkopfhaube abdichten + neue Ventildeckeldichtung. Laut Internetforen waren das Garantiearbeiten bis auf die Kette. Ich denke, du wirst die Auskunft auch kostenlos telefonisch erhalten, wenn du ihnen die Fahrgestellnummer nennst.

Great review. Still enjoyed it watching it in 2018. Sounds like you got a lemon. But good on you calling out terrible customer service. The nimble 2-cylinder F650GS has been the motorcycle of choice for Dutch city centre police, excellent for old bumpy canal roads and small allies in medieval cities like Amsterdam and Utrecht...

yikes, the first 40 seconds of this video is exactly why most ppl shy away from BMW. I have owned older ones (1997 F650gs, 1999 R1200C) and they were bullet proof but also super analog. Loved them both but i ended up buying a new 2023 Honda CB500X cuz hondas are just no fuss bikes like my ealery 2000 HD sportys. I embrace tech but when it comes to bikes/cars the more analog the better! glad you got the bike sorted out. seems too finicky for my liking

It is water cooled, the radiator is tucked up in the front faring behind the wheel. My EDC gun is either a Colt Mustang .380 or a Colt 1911A1 on long trips. BMW's component quality is great, but tell your dad to be prepared for essentially no warranty coverage whatsoever.
