Hello,
I am going to buy a burgman 650 that is a fact. However I have read a lot of information on these bikes and I have learned a lot of information from this site. From this I know that I will not even consider an 03, because of its inherent problems. It seems that the 04's also have the same problems with the dieseling sounds and all that goes along with this. So I have decided that mine will be an 05. However, I have read that there have been some changes to the gearing on this model along with other added features. What I would like to know is this, what are the gearing or mechanical changes that have been made. Does anyone know if this has been in an attempt by the Suzuki Gods to correct this dieseling problem.
I will be a first time rider and want to be in a problem free relationship with my bike. I do not want to purchase a bike that I know I will have to fix a few months down the line. And by the way I will be one of those riders that are very much bothered by the dieseling noise. My husband has been a goldwing rider for 20 years and I have been the spoiled passenger. We have test ridden the 03 and the 04 and each have had the sound, I noticed it instantly when the bikes were started up. On the used 03 it was loud and on the 04 it was at once detectable.
Any replys to this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks :wink:
