Early F650GS Fork Check 3 Years, 3 Months ago Karma: 0  
This post is for information only

Early F650GS Owners should be aware of the following thread over at advrider re fork failures

http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8084666#post8084666

I stress the number of known failures is small but it would be prudent to be aware of the problems.

We would also be interested in hearing of any other instances of any kind where this type of damage has occurred

I tried your link and it did not work.
Looged on as admin and could not fix it, also logged into Ad Rider and could not find it.

Iffn you could find it again, maybe you could edit this post and fix it?

Glad you could fix the link.

Even more glad to read / learn about a potential problem some of us might have. And a cheaper solution, i.e. the Yamaha forks as replacements

Wayne, I still had trouble with the link, so I logged into advrider.com and found the post that I think you are referring to.
http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=393785&highlight=F650GS+Fork+Check

Here's link to the Chain Gang page referenced in the above Adventure Rider post.

I have an 03 Dakar. I am glad to know that I have the newer forks.
