The mechanic just told me that as you steer, rubber part of the hose rubs against other parts which can cause a leak. Now this section of the hose is being replaced for a thicker hose.

Ok if anyone needs to deal with this in the future: I took it apart, quite easy to do. First I removed the flex case from the storage compartment by removing six screws holding it. Then you have easy access to the lock, which is held in a plastic bracket by two screws. Undo them and you can...

Hi all, So few days ago I was involved in a collision, where truck rear ended me at an intersection. I stopped for a red light and he didn’t make it and took me from the back. Nothing serious luckily, but there is some damage to the bike. Few broken plastics which should be easy to replace (the...

Thanks all for replies and tips, learned something new, and good to know that I have nothing to worry about re the battery etc.. !

And I was worried that the machine will miss me!

Hello, I was wondering what exactly do I need to do if I want to keep the bike standing for approx 30 days? I assume putting it on centre stand is a good start, but what about the battery? Do I leave it as it is, or disconnect it? I am using the bike on a daily basis, so hopefully this sudden...

Lane filtering is probably the only option, however not always possible. I don’t think my bike has temperature gauge - is that something what is availlable on 650GT only, and not on 600Sport?

Thanks, good to know that I don’t have to worry about that.

Hello, I was always wondering, if I am forced to ride in walking-pace speeds in a traffic jam, or even have to move uphill at this speed, and if I have to do this often, e.g. few times a week while commuting, is it going to have an effect on wear of some components? I can imagine that clutch...

Thanks for replies. I will see how it will turn out. I sealed the hole and can’t see (or hear) any difference whatsoever, so it was probably very minor. I have Nolan modular helmet, with shield down and chin protector always mounted. Well, I just ordered high quality (aparently) earplugs...

Hello, I have a little unusual question. I have had BMW C600 Sport for a few weeks and I love it, however, I started having issues with my ears, kind of ringing feeling. At first, I didn’t suspect bike to be the cause as I always wear earplugs, but I got a bit of cold. Over Christmas I didn’t...

Thank you, Thom. I will stop by in a near dealership. And in case the engine cuts off while riding, is there a technique to restart the engine without stopping completely?

Hi all, I recently bought used C600 Sport 2012 model. Previous owner had it since new, however, he passed away and his wife sold this bike to me. She didn’t know much about the bike, so I was wondering if there is a way how to check if both recalls - chain tensioner and front brake line - were...

In your owner's manual, look at page 95 (maintenance - engine oil). Alternatively you can download pdf version of your manual here: https://ownersmanuals2.com/bmw/c-650-gt-2016-owners-manual-66352 EDIT: sorry misread your question that you want to check chain drive case oil level... I read...

Ok thanks a lot, I will try that next time.
