How do you manage you gas consumption without a gas gauge or reserve light like with 1997 f650 St or funduro ? I own but struggle with gas management with a gas gauge or reserve light!
when you next fill up the bike, reset the trip meter (twist that middle knob thingy in between the gauges til it gets to zero). turn your petcock to on, not reserve (long side down for ON). you will know when you start to run out of fuel when you will feel the bike just run out of power. at that point you should be left with about 2 litres of gas in the tank, which can take you up to 40-50km max, i would say enough to get you to the nearest gas station. once you get the hang of it it become pretty easy really.
The Mk1 funduro (note the indicators built into the plastic) only sold in UK & Europe and the best of the lot. All the others were gutless garbage. parted company with mine with 87k miles on the clock :-)
What are you talking about? I have a last year, 2000 Funduro (not GS - with carburettor) and mine has the protruding snail eye indicators. Anyways the Funduros are 99% the same from 1993 to 2000
@@cesartapia610 I've bought it for 1750€ / 1900$ and addutionally spent the half of it on maintenance and reparations. I'm living in Hungary so the mechanics are not insanely expensive here and I've used some parts from dismantled bikes. I think a perfectly good Funduro is worth around 3000€ here. I don't recommend such an old, used bike unless you can do some maintenance or you know a good and trusted mechanic. Even if your mechanic is great, you'll experience some difficulties with a 22-29 year old bike from time to time. These bikes are almost oldtimers so I don't think it's a good idea to buy such old bikes unless you know what to do if your bike breaks down. I've broke down several times already within a year. It was only pure luck every time I got home because I was not very familiar with the mechanics of it. It is a very very very simple machine though, you can even solve every electric problem with a multimeter. I've learned to do some basic stuff since that. If you don't like to spend time in the garage, I would rather recommend something newer.
Had the exact same bike, same color, back in the 90s. Fond memories.
Still riding since 1994. Great byke, great engine, great funduro
how reliable is the bike? has it ever left you stranded? are there any factory weaknesses one should watch out for?

just found one of these on craigslist for $2,250 USD. 1997 with 30k miles and three hard cases.
Dig the thriller jacket...shamone.
Ни одного слова не понял ))) Но мотоцикл этот мне очень нравится :)
Smashing
paul felt the paint and disco graphics aand that tash where too "village"
What is the use of the pin between the speedometer and acceleration gauge ?
its a dial that resets the trip odometer
Great bikes I have one in 2023. It needs more than 1.5 ltrs of oil btw
Is $1900 USD a good deal? 23k miles with complete carb rebuild

Reset trip meter after fueling up..

"and that's why I cut my own hair"
Great byke,but the Simeringe from the Gabel is really shit! Every 10.000 kilometer you have to change
What you mean whit this reaction?

@@istvanbocsor7911 Would you recommend it to a rider on a tight budget? Are the repairs and maintenance cheap?

The Mk 1 Funduro a great bike. The Mk2 a pile of poo.....
