Tach needle does not return to 0rpm?
• When you turn the bike off, the tach needle should return to 0rpm. If you listen carefully, you should hear a “Tic-tic-tic” followed by a pause about 20 times. This is the tach and speedo “resetting” themselves to the zero position – if you watch closely you should see the needles moving. • Try turning your bike on, waiting 10 seconds, and turning your bike off. Repeat this until the needle returns to the zero point. • Note 1: Several people have reported this problem (as of mid-2006), and they often have their whole dash unit replace – suggesting there are faulty units. However BMW has not released a service bulletin about this. • Note 2: This an actual quote from the forums – Im with BMW Motorrad USA. Im sorry to read about this problem with the tachometer on your F650.
