650 Interceptor & Continental GT / Re: Weird “pop” sound after shutting INT650 off..
« Last Post by ryguy76 on Yesterday at 10:50:08 pm »Mine does that. Pretty sure it's a relay clicking about 15 seconds after the bike shuts off.
Reason I'm thinking this is because the tone of the "click" changed after I replaced my relays with Panasonics.
Nothing I'd worry about.
Ya, definitely could be a relay, but sounds almost too loud for it to be an electrical noise but certainly coming from the area there are relays…. Interesting.
I recently installed a TripMachine Wingman bag on either side and had to push the wiring loom some to get the bracket installed on the left side of the bike. Pretty sureI’ve only noticed the noise since doing that now that I think about it so wondering if I’ve perhaps shifted something that has exacerbated the noise.

Other marques / Re: BSA and Jawa
« Last Post by deadbat on Yesterday at 10:46:36 pm »Sadly Jawa is dead in Europe with pretty much non existent aftersales support. When it comes to BSA, there was a big hype before the launch and a lot of talk about BSA being back and all that. I've seen the Gold Star at Motorcycle show in Birmingham (UK) and I really liked it even though I've already had bought my Interceptor. I thought it was good for us customer to be able to have a choice and to have a few decent options in that affordable modern retro segment.
BSA launched Gold Star in 2022 and now 2 years later it is still the only bike in their line-up. There is a lot of talk about new models, but so far nothing have been announced.
To be fair Gold Star had a pretty good end of last year (top 10 over 125cc best sellers in the UK) - https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/news-and-views/news/status-uk-motorcycling - with over 600 of them registered in Q3 2023, but I can't stop thinking that if they won't expand their offer their customer base will start shrinking.

650 Interceptor & Continental GT / Re: Weird “pop” sound after shutting INT650 off..
« Last Post by ryguy76 on Yesterday at 10:36:04 pm »Just curious, but why would you use the killswitch to turn the bike off and not the key?
As you have guessed I use the keyand have never noticed any sound after turning off except the tick-tick of the exhausts cooling down.
Just habit. I ride into my garage and want to minimize the exhaust inside and noise once home so it’s the fastest way to shut it off as my hand doesn’t need to move.
Interestingly enough, you made me wonder if it mattered and I found this vid on YouTube.

Campfire Talk / Re: Turbo roundabout
« Last Post by Richard230 on Yesterday at 10:35:00 pm »This is bonkers, this is one of the best examples on how to butcher a very simple concept. How can you design a roundabout which won't allow you to go all the way round in case you miss your exit? And lastly... how much?
How much? $10.9 million.

650 Interceptor & Continental GT / Re: Michelin Road Classic tires
« Last Post by deadbat on Yesterday at 09:55:55 pm »It turns out that motorcycle garages near where I am charge £70 on average to change the tyres, so it makes even more sense to use my RE dealer and get Avons.
