Thank you so much for your help ! I did it today and I’m so glad I’be found that video. I’ve followed you step by step. It turned out to be very easy. It took me about 3hours. Perfect fit and high quality parts. Good job !

Thanks for the video. I'm looking to extend the rear indicator cables on my bandit 600s so it was helpful to see how I might go about doing so. Its clearly not as impossible as it seems.

Very good tutorial. I did it with no issues. Really like that you mentioned which tools / size will be required for the replacement.

I just ordered the R&G Tail Tidy for my Suzuki GSF1250S Bandit 2009. I was just looking at a few videos to get an idea what I was going to encounter and much to my surprise the GSX650 seems to have the exact same rear end as my Bandit. So you could alter the title or add some tags for GSF1250S Bandit. These instructions will be a life saver for me over the holiday break when I install the tidy. Thanks for the video! You saved me many headaches, I'm very sure.

hey man, great videos! I'm about to get this exact model and its really handy seeing someone else go through all the motions. Can you possibly upload a video showing a full spark plug switch (yep, seen the vid you've uploaded where it didn't go quite as planned), oil change, sprocket and chain & exhaust replacement? Lot to ask I know but hey, worth a shot +1 sub from me!

Haha, yeah I will be doing the complete spark plug change soon now that people have said where I went wrong :) Already done the oil change (that was one of my first uploads). Chain and sprocket is one I definitely want to do and a few people have asked for it.... I am just waiting until mine needs doing as its not a cheap job and I don't have all the tools yet, I imagine it will be later in the year that I make that one. Exhaust replacement, I probably wont change mine as its already got an aftermarket one installed and when I tried to take the end can off, the bolt was rusted solid so it would probably cause me more problems to cut the bolt im afraid. Sorry I cant help more but hopefully the oil change is a start before I get the spark plugs done :)

Almost the same with the bandit 650 i guess... Do you also have experience with the ermax undertray?

This is needlessly complicated. I wonder why they make it that way. Fender eliminator on my Z750 was super simple, but looking into doing it on my GSX 650F, not worth the time or the money that it would cost.

Hi CJ, great vides, thank you for posting them. I also have gsx650f and videos are really helping me in doing maintenance for the first time myself. Btw have you changed coolant liquid for your bike? I tried to go as manual suggests and disconnect the water pump outlet hose (see point 3) on the picture ibb.co/jAs9vk ),i did loosen the hose clip(rounded in red on the pic.) but the hose is sitting there so tight and there is almost no place to do anything, so i couldn't take it off. i I could have tried to take it off somehow with screwdriver and hammer, but i am not sure if i am able to put it back after that. It would be easier way to take off the hose which is going directly from radiator (ibb.co/nQFMrQ , i took the screenshot from one of your videos, to show where it is located, hope it is ok.), but i am not sure if it is proper way of doing it.

I imagine its just really well stuck on there because it hasn't been removed for so long.I will try to have a look at my hose tomorrow and see if I can work anything out and I'll get back to you if thats kl?
