• I have noticed on many of the F650 G/S and Dakar that Battery Vent Tube is TOTALLY CRUSHED FLAT by the air intake nozzle OUT OF THE BOX. Another example of the tight quality control used when producing these fine bikes. If you own one of these you might wish to check this problem has been corrected by the person who maintained your motorcycle. With the location of this battery I wouldn’t think battery leakage would be good. If someone over fills the battery when new with pinched vent tube. BIG MESS. I have found that if you reroute the vent tube under the wiring harness and slightly to the front of the motorcycle this problem can be taken care of.
