The Burgman has a hand-operated parking brake on the left handlebar. The manual dedicates a full page to adjusting the cable. Many owners have returned to their scooter to find it rolled off the sidestand because they forgot the brake or didn't adjust it.

In the world of maxi-scooters, few names command as much respect as the Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive. Produced from 2002 to 2018 (with a major facelift in 2007 and another in 2013), this machine is not merely a scooter; it is a two-wheeled luxury GT. With its electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT), 638cc parallel-twin engine, and features like electrically adjustable windscreens and heated grips, the Burgman 650 Executive is a complex piece of engineering.
