Well Bob I want to say a big thank you for taking the time and effort to make this, even though it’s obviously causing you problems. I’ve just, and by just I mean yesterday 2nd of May took delivery of my burgman 650 executive it’s a 2011 with 20,000 miles on it. I’ve also bought the replacement bolt at the same time, I was hoping the dealer would have put it in for me and they would have but the bolt came in after my bike was on it’s way to me. It’s not the difficulty of fitting it, the problem is getting down on the floor and back up again after. My back and both knees are shot and this will truly be my last machine ever, I’ve had to come to the end of motor bike riding after 50 years of happiness. Thanks once again
Bad knees? I know the feeling.🤣 Hopefully your Burgman will be trouble free for the next few years,it seems a bit mad for a ten quid bolt to cause so much damage but hopefully I've brought it to a lot of people's attention and saved them the heartache I've had. All I need to do now is slow down a bit, the last time we were out on it I spent rather a lot of the time at 100mph+ and have been nervously waiting for the brown envelope to arrive,nothing so far and its been nearly two weeks.😁
Thank you for your Video. I'm having trouble translating into German: which screw is the right one to change: the one with the number 6 on it or the one that doesn't have a number on the screw head? The screw I got from the dealer has the number 6 on it. But this screw is 2...3mm shorter than the one in my 2010 Burgman.
Bob thanks for this. Would you say that 90+ percent of the CVT issues in the older burgmans are because of this bolt issue? Thus...replacing the bolts periodiclally would alleviate 90 percent of the cvt issues? Thanks. I found a sweet 2005 with 6000 miles... but the Burgman CVT issues are scaring me away. Thanks.
From what I understand there are issues with the cvt bolt which goes through the engine which makes a rattling noise,there is a conversion available from someone in Poland but offhand I don't know exactly who,the later models have a longer bolt which cures this problem,have a look at my other videos,I think I mention it there. The primary pulley stop bolt which I talk about here will only cause problems if it isn't changed.
Hi my 650 has done 38k and at the moment only has gear 1. It rides perfectly at low revs but will not change up. It is. 2016. I have tried everywhere to try and get someone to fix it. With your experience can you you give me some advice on what to I can do myself. I am amateur car mechanic and have refurbished lots of cars. I hope you can give me a few places to look. Gary
The problem is most likely the stop bolt unfortunately , however it could be the centre stand switch which is easy to remove and clean up try that first,the other possible problem could be the primary pulley positionsensor,these are around £200, you need to take the right hand side footboard covers off to get to it but its held in place by two M6 screws with an 8mm af head , look at one of my other videos for the pps values., If its not either of those then I can almost guarantee it'sthe stopbolt, look underneath the right hand side of the bike and lookfor a 14mm af bolt head,remove it and look at the end of it and compare it to the ones Ishow in one of my videos. If its that Its a huge job just to get to the cvt and then it's an expensive repair because the primary pulley will be knackered,the casing will also be knackered . The only alternative is to get a replacement engine. My apologies for not replying sooner, I don't tend to check my email inbox every day but I'll look out for your reply
A 2016 bike is worth too much to scrap or break so it needs repairing, if it's done at a bike shop then it's going to be very expensive, I don't think there are many people about who would take it on,it's not a hugely technical job ,just time consuming. I'll do a video in the next couple of days and go through what you may need to do.
@@dainius50 I'm not sure of anyone who I could recommend, I'm in Huddersfield if its of any use but I couldn't take the work on,I'm up to my neck in scooter engines at the moment, I'll do a quick video in the next couple of days,it rained all weekend so I didn't get the chance.
Hi,how can I contact you,I need something the miscellaneous bolt for my 2006 got missing and have done the rebuild got all the kits,but am stranded now 😢
My phone number is below but I'm off on holiday in the morn so leave it for a week,I think the bolt is M12X1.5mm x 140 but at the moment I couldn't be 100%.

I've just bought a 15 plate with 3800 miles. Still replace the bolt?

E una fregatura il burgman650, due volte ho sistemato il cambio, spendendo 2.200, meglio il 400.
