[@christophery.4840]

7 years later this is still very helpful!

[@CJMPH]

I’m glad you think so. Thanks for commenting

[@chenks54]

I've got an '09 GSX650F which I've had for 4years. I knew about the trip meter. I knew there must have been a way to set the clock .. but I didn't know how. ..and as for the tacho .. well I always wondered what that white light was for. Thank you so much for enlightening me. Great video and very informative.

Thx CJ!! California says hello!

[@adam41280]

this might be a stupid question but do you have to switch the gauge cluster modes it see how hot the water temp gauge is at or some thing because I didn't see a water temp gauge well you were showing how to adjust the stuff on there or dose the 2008 GSX-650F for some stupid reason not have a water temp gauge

[@DevilzzFA]

Thanks CJ, learned something today ;)

Also thanks from Australia! To be honest it's just really hot down here. Still riding but i'm cooking

[@CJMPH]

Nice! Yeah I bet it can be too hot sometimes... its bad enough when (IF) we hit 30 degrees here lol

[@nathanmillardnm]

Another good video

[@CJMPH]

Thanks!! You're too quick, I'm guessing you've notifications turned on for when I post a new one :)

[@nathanmillardnm]

CJ yes lol

[@tocinicasoni2799]

What's the red round light beside the fuel indicator. Should it be on while you're riding? What does it indicate?

[@ghassanalfarra8935]

Oil pressure, it should immediately go off after starting the engine, it should never be on while riding, because that indicates low oil pressure.

[@danielcaddy3167]

Hi CJ, I have a quick question about something that annoys me on my 650F. When you go across the modes you can see the res mode. in other vehicles this tells you how much fuel you have to go, on the bike though it appears to tell me how far i have gone since getting to the last bar of fuel, are you aware of any setting changes to make this mode useful at all?

[@CJMPH]

Hi Daniel, what do you mean by the res mode? I'm not sure of anyway to change what the modes show/do. In terms of how much fuel you have to go, I just estimate using the fuel bar on the dash. Apparently the bike can do 150 miles with a full tank so its just a case of dividing up the bars to give a rough idea.

[@danielcaddy3167]

hey CJ thanks for replying (it must be super early in the morning) at 15 seconds of your video whilst going through the trip modes, you go past res trip. when you get low on fuel it has a useless feature of counting how many miles (or kilometers in my case) that you travel since hitting the last fuel bar. I was just wondering if this "res trip" could be used for anything useful, perhaps counting down until empty. also I tend to fill my bike up every 300 kilometers, i have actually have always been nervous to go past that but I always have plenty of fuel. have a great day and I hope you are appreciating your winter - an almost melted australian

[@CJMPH]

It was around 9am when I replied last time :) not too bad lol. I'll take a look into that one, I don't think I've ever used the res trip really (probably because - like you said - its useless) You say that (appreciate winter) - I say hope you appreciate summer haha.... I think its just lose lose for motorcyclists lol - a somewhat chilly Brit

[@jessesebastiansamuel]

Love your videos but I have a question. You say that when the fuel gauge’s bars disappear, there’s 1.5 liters of fuel in the tank and it’ll go another 5 miles max. So you’re saying that the GSX650 has a fuel efficiency of ~ 3.33 miles per liter! That doesn’t sound right. Is there something else to it?

[@FCS84168]

That's totally wrong my 08 gsf650 has a fuel consumption of 5-5.5l/100km or or 18-20km/liter

[@goranromersombor5923]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@michalz8216]

Thanks m8

[@stevehearne]

Thanks!

[@UneasyRider]

Cheers pal.

[@CJMPH]

+Uneasy Rider No probs, thanks for suggesting it. Just watched a few of your videos, got some nice roads in Norway

[@breezer_91]

What means the f1 light?

[@stoissdk]

TY :)

[@CJMPH]

+stoissdk No Worries, hope it helped 👍

[@Zedinator593]

Good, no book with mine.

[@khalilsa8568]

♥♥♥♥♥

[@iphil91]

honestly... with 5,5l in the tank i can go up to 80km (50miles) for sure... if i would drive slower i could go for more i swear

[@CJMPH]

Yeah? I was going from what the manual said and just plying it safe :) I would hate to say you can do more than your bike will... mine is quite old and probably isn't as efficient as it once was

[@iphil91]

mime is from 2009, my consuption is around 5,7L/100km (when i drive "normally") back in the day when i ha the stock exhaust is was 5,5

[@CJMPH]

Thats pretty good, I dont actually know what mine is... I might have to properly work it out sometime now that I'm riding the bike everyday :)

[@chenks54]

My GSX650f (2009 model) will average between 55 and 60 mpg - unless I'm thrashing it. Since a gallon is approx. 4 1/2 litres, there's more than a gallon of fuel left in the tank. Normal riding should therefore give you twice what he stated. Perhaps there's less than 5 1/2 litres left when only one bar is showing?

[@lindsay-jamesanderson1483]

Good one! Thanks for help!
