Sorry henryd - I've had computer issues and just saw your comments. My 650 is a 2014. I have replaced the battery but never had an issue with the windshield needing to be reset. I've never even heard of that until now?? I am probably going to replacing my battery next Spring once again as it...

Thanks David, very helpful.

Does anyone know of a really good video that might be available to show someone with some basic skills how to replace the belt, rollers, etc? thanks

Twoport - I agree and thanks again. My dealer (only one in St. Louis, which is another issue) has not said anything about mandatory service, however, I have only utilized them for a bad battery and faulty water pump, both of which materialized in the first couple of thousand miles. My warranty...

Twoport - Hey, thanks so much for the reply. That's helpful, I kind of wondered myself if they really needed to perform the belt,CVT services at the recommended 12K mileage interval. My bike has been fine, other than I notice the CVT shudder every time I first take off on the bike after it's...

Jaime - at 30,000 miles, you have obviously been through some of the expensive maintenance that the poster referred to. My 2014 only has 9200 miles on it and I haven't done anything to it to date , other than oil/tire changes. Can you tell me when you changed out your belt/rollers and how much...

Thanks Guys for your input. I have not ridden it since I got it home, I will do so this evening and see if the problem is still there, if so, I will ask about the computer reset!

If anyone can shed some light on what might be the issue with my bike I would appreciate it. I took the bike for a 60 mile ride today. No problem getting to my destination but developed a high idle on the return ride home. It seemed that every time the bike got down to just under 20 mph the...

I bought my GT at Gateway as well. They are very customer oriented, a great shop. I had a Vespa 250 prior to the GT and will concur, it was a lot of fun. Sometimes, I wish I still had it. Treated me well for 13,000 miles.

Having the superior braking system, which saved my ass once, is the reason i would never select a ride without it. Period.

Bicycle - Thanks for your comments. You have convinced me that the Mobil 1 makes sense. I need to change mine soon so I will go that route. Best to you!

I see a couple of you guys are using the Mobil 1 brand. Just want to make sure this meets the GT requirements. I wouldn't have thought so but it's good to know if several of you are using this. Hated spending all that money on the BMW brand?

If BMW wouldn't have built this bike where you can't flat foot it without being 6ft 5 we wouldnt be dropping these!

I can tell you, I leave my screen up 95% of time and did remove battery twice and no issues when reinstalled.
