Read complaints for BMW F650 GS (2011)
The may 18th date is a rough guess. The engine has died two times between shifts from second to first, very slow speed, coming to stops. One time was in light rain. Most recent was november 29, 2011 after approximately 15 miles of riding in light rain.in medium to heavy rain, engine begins to sputter while riding (under power) and frequently almost stalls after about 10-15 miles. Sometimes difficult to keep engine going. This was a known problem on the 2008-2010 f650gs (twin-cylinder engine). It appears to still be a problem. It is dangerous and needs to be resolved. Not sure if this related, but the ignition switch recently shorted out, completely disabling the motorcycle, and had to be replaced.

The silver reflecting coating behind the headlight bulb is burning off.this reduces my light visibility to me and oncoming vehicles.

Date and mileage are very approximate. It was sometime during summer 2011. Clutch cable end apparently slipped out of the lever end on the transmission causing the transmission to remain engaged to engine. I stopped the bike by stalling it, almost causing a crash. There should be a safety lock to prevent a clutch cable end from coming out of the clutch actuation lever that is located on the transmission.
