So we've all heard/seen the 650 xchallenge...let's see your XCOUNTRY!

Basically it allows you to read the diagnostic codes from the BMS-C2 unit but you need to plug a G911CanBus and connect it to the PC through usb port:

but it does not allow you to reprogram anything.
You might do it only through the JTAG interface...Well Good Luck!

Here's mine! Built the rack out of 1/8 aluminum (less than 30$ for all the materials). Next time ill pay to have it plasma cut instead of cutting it by hand. Its pretty rigid although im going to build a solid one piece mounting bracket for it tomorow. Last pic is of the aux fuel tank im building for the bike. Im running out of farkle time!!

This extra fuel tank looks awesome. Is it made of alloy?
What's its capacity?
Need pictures of it hooked up on the bike.
Thanks

That's all I can get around here. I've got '97 F650 and she's quite satisfied with 89 octane. Will the new FI Rotax of the XCountry be happy?

I'm considering purchasing a new 2007 out of Daytona or Orlando BMW ($6995 OTD) and selling my F650.

I'm on a small island (St. Croix) and don't get to do any overnight trips anywhere. The lighter weight, better fuel economy and more dirt-worthy features really appeal but my F650 is still going strong and just don't know if it makes sense to replace it. I ride mostly to commute but enjoy jeep trails too. Anyone gone from a Classic to a XCountry? Great looking bike!

My dealer told me it will run fine on 87, it just won't have as much power and the MPG will suffer.

Too pretty, Tim.
Go ride the hell out of it now.

Oh trust me Im dying too!!!

Another 400 miles to go and after its first beding in service i can open the throttle and go crazy!!!

Hey Muckpee,

How ya going with that Aux Fuel tank? Any thing or pictures to show us?

:ddog

WHO THE HELL MAKES A 19" DUAL SPORT TIRE FOR THIS GD THING??????
About the only thing I can find, other than the tourances are Mefo's.
Anyone got one on their Country? I think I'll have to try one.
Please don't say TCK-80's. I won't get 1000 kilometers out of one where I live. Thanks anyway.

Is that a factory option trunk? I hear BMW will offer one for the '08.

No, It's a regular trunk I bought to fit on my XT600E that fit afterward on my XTR660. Hopefully, It fits too on the XC .
I just bought the G650X tank bag on Ebay. I got a the Xchallenge bashplate as well. It was all 60% below the original price. The guy told me that the bmw shop went bankrupt and He bought all the spare equipement stock for a penny.

I got a new photo of my X-Country

Sweet!

Nice picture.
How far do you go like that?
What gears?

Hey RobbieO where did you get your tank bag?
I like the tiny size for everyday riding.

That was just a quick "look over" wheelie in second gear.
Usually I wheelie from 2nd to 4th.
The tank bag is a Cortech I bought from a fellow ADVer last winter.
It expands even bigger, but I can't see my GPS, so I never expand it
Here it is. Very reasonably priced and it fits well.

Here's another shot of the tank bag.


ps. this bike loves to wheelie

Great,thanks
I can't keep the bike up when I shift from 2nd to 3rd.
Tell me you changed the intake filter or put a 14 teeth sprocket on yours.
I see that you have modified the tail several times!
What do you think of the stock tank bag "G650X".

The BMW tank bag looks really nice, but it's too expensive. I don't always ride with it and am just getting used to having it on the bike.

Ihaven't changed the gearing, but I have installed the foam air filter from BMWAtlanta, and it makes a small difference.
I am waiting for my Scorpion Exhaust, and am hoping it makes a difference.
I'm keeping my wheelies to a minimum at the moment, as I have wrecked my wrist, and can't pull the clutch in with one finger.
