There's also another function. With the lid open, in the bottom of the case, you a have a small lock decice, that you can turn 90° and the case it's locked to the rack. When you press the black button, it stays locked in the rack. Security measure.

I took out the 4 screws holding the top latch piece in and pulled it out. Then I removed the middle piece with the spring and inserted it back in and put the screws back in. Now closes easy as pie. Of course when you turn the key and push the button it won't spring up. You just press the button and lift the lid which is just as easy. This took all of a few minutes to do and you can always put the middle piece back in if needed. The spring is very stiff which is very hard to press down making it hard to close.

I'm only 5'7" (168cm), and since the weather warmed up, I can barely see out of my face shield after a couple hours of riding from all the bugs hitting it with the stock windscreen. I just added a tank bag (Givi MT505) to the bike on Friday, and now carry a moist microfibre cloth with me for cleaning on the go. The "S" screen is 48cm (18.9") high, and the "ST" is 54.5cm (21.5"). I'm hoping that the extra 4" of the "S" will be enough for my height. We'll see when it gets here. Wonder why the short one is smoked though, while the tall one is clear? I'd prefer transparent, but it might match the black Versys okay. It is also $2 more expensive at F9.
@NarrowRoadRider6 ай бұрын
I suspect that the taller windscreen is clear because you have to look through it and Givi might not want the liability when night riding as you might get a bit of glare. How do you like the tank bag?
@JPeterHaliburton6 ай бұрын
As you say, I can see the taller one not being smoked, but there is no option for clear in the shorter windscreen. I should be able to see over it though. As for the tank bag, I'd been riding the bike without the side cases on it for the past 3 months, so I had to wear a small backpack. Having the tank bag is so convenient. Even though I wanted the larger XS307, the MT505 will probably do the job, while saving me a few dollars. Still new to me yet, but liking it a lot so far.

@@NarrowRoadRider I can't see owning a bike without a tank bag again after just that one trip. Well, unless it was an NT750X. I have in it: a face shield cloth, reading glasses, allergy pills and similar medication, snacks, extra earplugs, a small water bottle, and there is still lot more room for things like keys, wallet, sunglasses, light gloves, a hat, etc. More than that, and the side cases can go on.

Since my last comment, a couple months ago, I have purchased a new 2023 Versys 650 LT (that looks like yours) and put 1000km on it despite the chilly and wet weather we have been having this spring. The hand guards and grip warmers were much appreciated. Now I have to get it in for that first break-in service. Stands are on my shopping list for the winter storage, and regular maintenance. Yours look fancy. On my old bike I wired the maintainer cable to the battery and left it installed. Looking forward to more of your Versys videos.

It is my understanding that all vehicle speedometers generally read a little higher than actual speed. That is because there are no perfect systems, and the manufacturers would rather you are going a bit slower than it is reading, than having you going faster than you think.
