My first concern would be to check to make sure the timing chain recall has been done.

Schneider, not an uncommon problem reported here. Typically occurs after battery issues and seems to be resolved by the dealer doing an ECU reset. Apparently it can get confused after loss of battery charge or battery disconnect.

I've been using Sunblocker for years. I used to paint this upper area of the shield black to accomplish the same thing. The Sunblocker doesn't completely obscure like paint or some other tapes would do. It's kind of like putting the sun visor down in your car. I also have an internal drop...

FYI, Here is a C600 on Denver Craig's for $3,995. 6K miles. That price is one of the lowest I've seen recently. http://denver.craigslist.org/mcd/5735534851.html

Tony, the horror stories I read related to service costs were a prime consideration in selling my 2013 GT after 18 months and 7K miles. It was a wonderful ride but to me not worth the worry of taking the scoot in for a "routine" service and wondering how big a bite it was going to be. No...

Greetings folks. I see several posts from those who have no intention of getting rid of their scoot. I thought I'd comment on why I did sell my 2013 GT last May after 18 months and about 7K miles. First of all I had no complaints about the scooter itself. It was absolutely trouble free and...

I sold my 2003 SWing (14K miles also new tires and recent maint.) two years ago for $2,700 in Boulder to the only call I got on it, and one day before I was going to repost it at a lower price. There are still left over new ones you can find for around $5k. All it takes is one call!

SOLD 2013 C650GT Scooter 6,300 miles. Warranty through 05/2016. Highline Package (heated grips, seat, TPM). ABS. Front tire new at 5,000 mi, rear tire 50%. Shad top box. Aeroflow windshield plus original. All recalls performed. All service done at BMW of Denver. DVD repair manual included...

Battery failed on my 2013 last fall and was replaced under warranty, no charge. Front tire was also worn and replaced at 5,300 miles. Sounds about average from what I'; reading.

Greetings Akkis, I have a 2013 GT that has a little over 6,000 miles on it. I wouldn't worry about a scooter with 5,000 miles on it unless it's been really thrashed about. I'm 6' tall and found that the stock windscreen (set up to look over the screen) did a pretty good job of protecting me...

davidh, check the "handlebar switch replace" thread. You're not the first to experience this problem. BMW will replace the switches for free. Mine were done during the last service

The battery in my 2013 GT failed after 18 months, showing similar circumstances. The charger indicated that it was charged but it wouldn't support starter load. BMW replaced it under warranty. If your scoot is still under warranty and it fails to recover call your dealer.

Over the course of about 6,000 miles here in the foothills of Colorado I regularly get 60 MPG. My low fuel indicator comes on at 190 - 200 miles. I don't do a lot of higher speed riding and my average speed usually comes in around 40 MPH. Very predictable. Maybe it's the Geezer factor?

My GT seems to have always had "that smell". I assumed it was from the CAT but was never sure. I've learned to leave it parked outside for a couple hours before putting it to bed in the garage. I need to leave the garage window cracked to let it breathe overnight. It's never had any...
