Hey Community, first post here.

My wife dropped her 1996 f650 funduro a couple of weeks ago and broke the clutch lever.

She managed to ride home without a problem with me following, and a couple of days later I swapped out the broken lever. Easy 5 minute job. Unscrew, cable out, cable in, screw tight.

Since then, and maybe unrelated, the thing refuses to drive anywhere. Starting up is ok, sometimes you get something out of first gear - a few meters only at most - and then you sense the impending death!!

I’ve checked everything over that I can. Lubed clutch, choke and gas cables. The stands too.

Battery has 13,7 V.

I’m stuck!! No idea what’s going on. Fuel system has been cleaned by our workshop 3 times in 2 years. And the tank is freshly full.

Thanks for reading!!

After seeing a few images here of upgraded lights I decided to jump on the wagon and give my S2 a makeover, as I’ve never been a fan of the original headlamp anyway.

I replaced my previous LED turn signals too as they were very short and not really visible.

All Amazon stuff - total cost around 90€.

As expected, none of the connectors were compatible, so a few hours of slicing and dicing were necessary.

I had trouble finding a bracket for the new lamp, and the cheap thing I found has already lost paint from coming into contact with tools during assembly.

Anyway, it looks pretty tidy, and maybe a bit meaner too now 😎.
