Glad I could help👍🏻

Absolutely that’s a good idea👍🏻

So glad the videos help. Ride safe my friend 👍🏻

Makes me happy to know that this helped👍🏻

That’s a great way to do it. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching my friend👍🏻

Thanks my friend I appreciate your kind words. Ride safe and enjoy your scoot.👍🏻

Thanks so much for the kind comment! I’m glad I can help👍🏻

I’m glad I could help👍🏻 Thanks for watching.

@@ManCaveMayhem how can you tell if it’s the belt or clutch? My 04 650 revs high before catching

@@morphdadon9467 What did you find?

Thanks my friend👍🏻 I’m glad it has helped!

Make sure you replace the CVT Bolt as well, it can save you a lot Money.

@@tchecholino what is the cvt bolt?

@@geneb5482 it's called CVT stopped Bolt. There is a project issue which makes this bolt snap due metal fatigue, allowing your whole CVT go out of alignment. But if you change it on time, before it brake, you will be good! I have a friend that had to open the whole system to make repair after a snapping bolt... But to change just the bolt itself, it's very easy and you can reach out without disassembly anything.... Search on google for Burgman 650 CVT stoped bolt. 2012 or below are the problematic ones. Sorry my rusty English!

For sure thanks for the input on that👍🏻

Actually you can get to the top right bolt by lifting up on the top plate cover. It does move out the way just enough to access the bolt with a straight extension.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad I could help👍🏻

Thanks for your kind words. I’m glad the video helped.

Thanks for watching my friend!

Good to hear from ya friend!

Does the bolt require changing on 2012 models though?

@@yourflavr Suzuki has upgraded the bolt twice. It is now 21748-10G20. Not sure what they did. Maybe hardened it? Anyhow, I think you should at least inspect it for wear, even if you don't need to replace it.

I'm struggling to find out why my 650 burg won't move . Bought as a project running engine but non driving rear wheel. Have checked codes got C51 on dash . Have removed the CVT electric motor bench tested fine , have disconnect the primary position switch no drive still. Have disconnected the centre stand switch -still no movement of wheel . Can I physically inspect the drive belt in any way without dissasembly of the CVT ? Someone suggested it could be ecu related is there anyway I can test it ? Thanks for your help

And would the primary pulley bolt U speak of cause a no drive issue ?

Thank you I’m glad it helped👍🏻 thanks for watching and thanks for the support and kind words.

Mine is a Russel day long saddle. Pricey but good.

That’s a great question. I have yet to mess with it. I know that belt improvements were made on our model but not sure about the stop bolt.

Thanks for the input. Very good stuff👍🏻

I’m glad I could help👍🏻

Thanks for the kind words ride safe my friend👍🏻

I’ll be pulling Burgman‘s out soon and doing some more reviews on them thanks for your comment. Any ideas for videos👍🏻

You think its hard? I think its pretty easy you get to a lot of thinks pretty easy.

I’m not as familiar with those newer models. The drivetrain is essentially the same I think. They are pretty dependable bikes👍🏻

At this point in time I’ve got approximately 15,000 miles on the bike and I’ve had zero problems with it. I hope you enjoy yours and ride safe my friend👍🏻

No but I can certainly do one look for it soon👍🏻

Depending on what kind of system you would want it hooked to a switched hot so when u turn off the key it shuts of the stereo.

I would say that it is probably going bad. Oh it’s probably your belt it could be the clutch but usually the clutches last quite a long time as they are bathed as oil.

It could cause the system to overheat a little bit and it should be on the same side. The bike doesn’t change gears it runs on a belt that varies the gear ratios as you accelerate. The buttons simulate gear changes but it just changes the position of the belt and hold it in that area.

Yes that is definitely the weak point of these bikes.

@@ManCaveMayhem oh well. I like the color blue better. It was weird though seeing two burgmans sitting next to each other. (Side note I know for me I also lovingly call my bike the barge.)

@@Cadmium_wraith That is a fitting name because they definitely are barges.🤣

85,000 miles seems like a lot of miles for a scooter. I think if I was in the market I would be looking for one with less mileage. The price is good but the mileage is very high and that would concern me a little bit. Just my two cents. Good luck in your search and ride safe👍🏻

Thank you so much for your help have a great bless day and God bless you and your family

That’s a great idea. Thanks for the input👍🏻

I would look for one with low mileage and oneThat you feel comfortable on any of those big three should be pretty reliable.

I hope it helps. Thanks for the kind words, my friend.👍🏻

Thanks for time and effort gotta love the Big Burg😁

I’m sure there is a filter

I know. You wonder who makes this stuff up. Some engineers somewhere.👍🏻

@@ManCaveMayhem There comes a time in the life of a project when it becomes necessary to shoot the engineers and start production.

It was custom made for the bike by Russell day long saddles.

Are you talking about the belts or the filters?

@@ManCaveMayhem I managed to find it on partzillla the belts is the tough one to find

Here's a link: www.mrcycles.com/oemparts/a/suz/577fcab287a86612d476dd72/cvt Down the list is the belt. #31. The foam filter is #2.

Not sure about that. The prices will vary from state to state and there are a lot of variables like miles, condition etc.

For sure👍🏻 I agree 100% mine was in good shape so I didn’t have any issues cleaning it.

For sure🤣👍🏻

Nothing to be too worried about I’m sure you’re fine🤣 Thanks for watching and thanks for making me laugh.

Sorry for that

@@ManCaveMayhem No problem. I got it off today. I noticed in the videos the use of a screwdriver with a 8mm socket bit. I pulled the vent to the side to make enough room to use the screwdriver to remove the bolt. Thanks for making the video

@@AZtheOG I’m glad it worked out. Keep the rubber side down.

Yes I do. I love the thing I probably will never get rid of it.👍🏻 ride safe my friend

@@ManCaveMayhemHey there curly, I finally pulled the trigger yesterday on a 2017 Burger 650 she's beautiful dressed in white although she does have a big mouth in the form of a hidden legitimate trucker sounding air horn touch the factory button and all the neighbors are looking out their windows wondering what the hell is semi truck is doing on their city street, this guy really did everything up right with perfection in mind without being gaudy It does have extra LED fog lamps also lights on the large Givi trunk originally all black had It custom partially painted to match the bike also Givi windshield also came with the OEM stock one along with several RAM mounts a cup holder, cruise control adapter two different legitimate backrests, a phone book thick factory maintenance manual a (battery tender brand) modular helmet, gloves wireless headset Xtra Mobile-1 oil he uses the list is endless He's done many long tours about 23,000 mi on the bike not a mark on it that I can find,, A really decent older stand up man getting out of the hobby for personal family reasons otherwise he'd still be riding. It was a 420 mile round trip journey to pick up the bike well worth it I get a buzz every time I walk in the garage and see it.✌️🍀

@@yukonjack.glad to hear you found one. Ride safe my friend.

@@ManCaveMayhemThx U-2 And I agree I'll never get rid of mine either!!!!!!!!!🇺🇸

Sorry about that.

🤣👍🏻 Will do!

It’s a Russell day long saddle👍🏻

@@ManCaveMayhemI've been hesitant to get one of theirs because it requires sending off the seat and my burg is my only vehicle, dont think I can go a month without it. But I hear really good things about them and that one looks plush
