Burgman 650 CVT

First topic message reminder :

FWIW, you may be happy you own a Silverwing. If you look at the posts on BUSA over the last nine months, you'll see quite a few on how the CVT has failed. It is a guess only, but I'm seeing about one failure every two weeks. The approximate cost if you take it to the dealer to work on it, is about $3K.

So a Silverwing may be an "upgrade" after all...

It seems generally that the failures occur after 20,000 miles. Some owners will never reach that, but more and more people have.

Geeze talk about hijacking a thread, cvt transmission, insurance,now guns where is it going next?

We are all damned and going to hell in a hand bag.All we can say is go away,just don't go away mad,and if your going to shoot at your neigbours use a paint ball gun. Smiles and the world will smile with you ,weep and you wee alone.( I hope I get out of this cabin before I paint ball myself to death.)

At least we won't be going to hell on a Burgman 650 cvt as it will be in the shop having it's transmission repaired!

Could be but the Silverwing will still be ready and waiting. Having two competing machines is fun. I can brag about the Burgman here or the Silverwing at BurgmanUSA or I can pan the Burgman there and the and the Silverwing here. To finish the whole Megillah I could put CTs on one of them and deride the other because there are MTs on it. The possibilities are endless.

Your never to old for the DS.

Yes I could. There other things I could do that I eschew too.
