I agree with Jaime. I recently traded my C650GT in for a 2014 R1200RT, so I am no longer in the group. I will say that the BMW dealer in Sarasota, FL is really great on the sales, service and parts level. If the dealer sucks, the brand sucks. Like Jaime, I have had dual bikes in the past...

Thanks for the response(s). On the other note, I am anxious to see the TMax back in the ring. That was a damn fine bike and good looking too.

Maybe I am slow here, but what is the reason for not carrying this model in the US? I thought they were selling better than the C650GT? I must be mistaken?? Any thoughts (or facts??)??

No, I cannot say that I am riding faster than I had previous. I really think this has to do with the computer somehow as it was upgraded during the visit. I appreciate all of the feedback on this topic and plan to return the bike back to the dealer for additional research. It's great to know...

My invoice from Hap's Sarasota was $538.60. This was the service along with a new front and rear tire. I don't have the invoice here in my office with me, so I can't give you the breakdown of what was what cost-wise. That being said, they did update the software and that was something I...

Makes sense as I was off my bike for about five months. It must have come up as result of a year passing. Thanks for the info.

My light came on at the 6,000 mile point. I was about 200 miles over. It seems to be hard line at the interval points (600, 6000, 12000, 24000, etc.).

So I took my 650GT in to Hap's in Sarasota for the 6,000 mile service/addressing the recall issues. Once out of the shop, the bike seemingly runs better than it has in a while however my fuel mileage took a dump. I have cycled two tanks of 93 octane Shell gas and I am averaging 43.2 MPG. This...

I can't help you with that. My TPMS isn't even close to the readings from my trusty tire gauge, so I don't trust it. IMHO, this sounds like something the dealer would have to do as this is a part of the ECU. Good luck with it!

Obviously, the Black 650GT was so far ahead of the group that they didn't make it in the photo... ;)

Congratulations and welcome!

I can't get it to stop. The dealer swears it is coming from the small valve on the top, but it really looks like it is bleeding through the gasket. A new gasket later and it's still there. Drives me nuts! :)

I have had two people ask me if it is really a BMW. Of course, I tell them no and smile thinking about how anyone could be such an obtuse dumbass.

Might try them. The dealership in Tampa is pretty lackluster. Thanks for the heads up! Nice area over there. :)

That's a new one to me, but I agree with Jaime. It sounds like something simple mechanically involving combustion mix and not a computer issue with the bike. I'm no mechanic, though. BTW, OP which dealer are you using in Orlando? I'm in Tampa but I am not sure where in Florida you are.
