User manual BMW F 650 GS DAKAR BROCHURE

[. . . ] For the BMW F 650 GS there are no obstructions. The modern single-cylinder engine features electronic fuel injection, dual ignition and four-valve technology, which come together to make this a real state-of-the-art motorcycle. The maximum torque of 60 Nm is already available at 4, 800 rpm and the power output of up to 50 bhp (37 kW) is a convincing argument. The economical engine of this agile bike always provides sufficient power in every situation and naturally, it is built to be environmentally friendly. [. . . ] Right from the day it was launched, this engine was an absolute sensation. The first serial single-cylinder to have an electronic injection system and catalytic converter and it is still setting standards in its class. The dual ignition system, already enthusiastically welcomed in the Boxer engine series, is now also being incorporated into the latest single cylinder generation. Powerful output is already available at 2, 000 rpm and thanks to the compensation shaft, the single cylinder develops its power gently but with determination and from 4, 000 rpm is nothing less than a power station. This results in excellent acceleration and engine power. Together with the Two Spark dual ignition system, the BMS-C II engine management system, with its quintuple calculation speed, considerably reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. At high speeds this makes quite a difference. Cruising at 75 mph the reduction compared to the predecessor amounts to 0. 7 l to 4. 3 l per hundred kilometres. And the torque curve has been optimised into the bargain while meeting the EU3 emissions standard with ease. The 50-bhp (37-kW) single-cylinder engine is also available in a reduced power version with 34 bhp (25 kW), for new riders. 1 The clear glass headlamp now features considerably improved road illumination. 1 2 2 The windshield has been optimised in a wind tunnel to reduce wind pressure considerably. This ensures a comfortable and relaxed ride. 3 The technology in the cylinder head has been derived from the BMW M3 high-performace engine. 3 The clutch lever can be individually adjusted in three stages to match the size of the rider's hand precisely.
