About the BSA Scrambler 650

Overview

The BSA Scrambler 650 is a motorcycle from BSA. It is currently on sale. With a 652 cc engine it sits in the middleweight 450–800 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 652 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that makes 45.62 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 55 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 4,000 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 222 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 5-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 4-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. Its slipper clutch lightens the lever and stops the rear wheel hopping when you downshift hard.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a twin cradle tubular steel frame. Suspension is by telescopic forks, 41 mm dia, 138 mm travel at the front and twin shock absorbers with 5 step adj at the rear. It has dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 820 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 208 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 187 mm — enough for most speed breakers. The wheelbase is 1,465 mm. It carries 12 L of fuel.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes LCD Display, an LED headlamp, gear position indicator, service due indicator, engine temperature indicator and low fuel indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, side-stand engine cut-off, side-stand warning, hazard light switch, traction control and malfunction indicator.

Maintaining the BSA Scrambler 650

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    Check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Tyre inspection

    Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

BSA Scrambler 650 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Assist and slipper clutch
The assist part makes the clutch lever lighter. The slipper part eases the rear wheel's tendency to hop when you shift down hard.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
