    Headlight burned out?

    Update: Low beam headlight issue returns with a vengeance. Nearly every time I start my C600 in the garage and back it out, the head light goes out. I mentioned this to my dealer and several days later, they could not duplicate the problem. I got on it and immediately duplicated it in front of...

    Engine Oil Change

    I cannot find any assistance with the task of changing the engine oil. I'm fairly certain it is not difficult but ya never know. I'm sitting at 4,350 miles and although it is not officially due till 6K I'm not a fan of keeping even the best oil running beyond 4K. The dealer wants several hundred...

    Greetings!

    My first scooter was a 2009 SWing I picked up with <4K miles on it. Had to get something fun (that's why 600cc) that the wife would be more comfortable on than my SV650. It worked well enough but was a little boring, the windscrean caused a lot of buffeting for me and I never was able to get...

    Favorite Bike Other Than Your "Step Over"

    I put more than 40K miles on a KLR-650 but only about 200 of those miles was off road (partly because the machine isn't the best choice for that type of riding and also because it is not where my skills lie). I did enjoy commenting on it and tons of fun ignoring medians and curbs! KTM may be too...

    Motorcycle.com reviews the 2014 BMW C600 Sport

    I rather like the idea of a GS (as apposed to dirt tires on our scooters). There is nothing better than a machine specifically engineered to perform a particular function. Anybody remember the El Camino? Not a good truck and not much of a car.

    G'day... Potential new 600 sport owner

    I certainly agree with SteveADV about the MSF course. Not only because I used to teach it but because you will get to use their bikes to experience (if need be) the "oops" that often accompany the learning phase. Even "experienced" riders (that have made it this far by pure, dumb luck) don't...

    New member in Medford OR.

    Medford, OR? You sure you shouldn't have waited for the fully electric version? Must be fun to watch the guys at the gas station pump the gas into your scooter for you! Just kidding - I love Oregon. And I'd love to ride around the coast in the summer time on my C600 Sport, just don't know if my...

    Wanna USE your parking brake WHILE RUNNING?

    Just performed the side stand kill switch eliminator mod on my 600. I feel so "unsafe", also liberated! Just think, I can chose to eat fattening food, drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes too! Heck, I can even transport myself around on something as UNSAFE as a two wheeled vehicle with no metal...

    Anybody that has one of these had a chance to ride in the rain? Did you get a nice wet streak down your back?

    Squeaky windscreen

    Found a stripped screw on the windscreen mount. Seems the anchors for these 4 screws are brass and pressed into the plastic. My dealer ordered a replacement mount and all seems well.

    Headlight burned out?

    UPDATE I have only had the low beam headlight fail to come on once in the past 100+ starts and again, cycle the ignition and it works fine. I told my dealer that, having been an electronics technician all my life, I understand how difficult it is to troubleshoot something that is intermittent...
