Torque settings HERE The BMW G650X Manual is available on DVD, Info Here I have the DVD and I think it's pretty good, a lot of menus and sub menus but I think all the info is there. I'd still prefer the Haynes type. If there was a specific piece of info you wanted from the manual I'd gladly look it up for ya.
have a look at the Index thread, it's all listed there.. I suppose there are 3 must do's that I could highlight in the first post: Shift lever replacement Inner mudguard to avoid rubbing on the air shock Tail tidy
I hate to say this, but i have stripped a few things already on my x-chal. I have had so many bikes the past years and never strip anything till I got the x-chal. Has anyone else stripped the handlebar clamps, mine kept rotating on rides no matter what till I eventually stripped it trying to get it solid. i love helicoil btw
Yip, I'm fairly sure id stripped the two top bolts that hold on the bash plate. (cross threaded into Aluminium).
I didn't know where to put this. I just installed a Moose shifter. Part# 1602-0015. I bought it from Thumper Talk Store for $30. It shows: YZ250F (06-08) YZ 450 (06-08) WR250F (03-08) WR450F (03-08) You have to remove the top footpeg mount bolt and loosen the lower to allow the peg to swing out of the way. Then it is just a matter of setting to fit your style and preference. It is a steel shifter w/folding tip. The hope is the shifter will bend before the shaft breaks. I will carry the stock as a spare on longer rides. Bert
Thanks Bert, some of those were already listed in the Index thread and I just added your list as well.
I recommend anti siezing every steel bolt that threads into alum when you first get the bike. I had to torch my front skid plate bolts out a few weeks ago. I'm sure riding in the winter on the salt coated snowy roads didn't help

Hi! I think it would be useful to write down known issues in the index post. Very useful thread. Thanks!
Let's list them here and then I'll copy them there: There are the 3 listed in the Must Do Mods. I also have the stalling issue which is from a pinched breather hose. Some have reported battery failures, but that's the battery not the bike. I've also listed the recalls. what else could we add?
