    Wunderlich Side Case

    I’ve ordered several things from BMW Euro Moto and had them shipped to the US. Top case, rear rack, leg cover, touring windshield etc. Shipping is pricy but worth it if you get several items. I’m pretty sure they carry Wunderlich. Customer service was fine by chat. Highly recommend...

    Top Speed

    I bought the Yacugar emulsion shocks. I’m happy with them but they are twice the price of YSS. Not sure whether that’s a value. I may buy another 400 and I would get the YSS’s for the money. Just my opinion.

    Upgrade the rear shocks. Makes a big difference to have rebound dampening adjustment.

    Top Speed

    I agree the bike tops out where the design has its limits. I did some searching and you can buy a chip which re-maps the fuel injection and increases the power and torque. I’m sure you can get and aftermarket exhaust and remap the engine as well. These types of mods will most likely void your...

    Top Speed

    Good to know. The bike handles well at high speed. You don’t want to ride sustained that fast, but nice to know you have all that reserve power for a long uphill. Do you know if the bike has a governor that limits speed, either by hardware or software?

    Top Speed

    What sort of top speed are you folks seeing. I got an indicated 86 mph the other day before I had to backdown. I was out riding with some friends a few weeks back and they all had big bikes. I thought for a few moments I was pushing 90 but that might have been wishful thinking. Fletch

    YSS Rear Suspension Upgrade

    Ted Porter at Beemer Shop doesn't recommend new front springs unless you are bottoming out, but says you can try a heavier fork oil if you want more dampening.

    YSS Rear Suspension Upgrade

    Man I wish I saw this before. I ordered a pair of Yacugar emulsion shocks for the rear. The ride is great but they were twice the price. What is the YSS front shock option?

    C 400 GT: Added USB Port and Garage-Door Opener Button to Dash Area

    I like the USB port, great idea. I put a dual USB port on my BMW R1200RT and Ducati Multi but haven't thought about it in the C400GT. It would be great for charging my phone. Thanks for posting!

    BMW GPS Prep Kit

    Just curious but why not just put a RAM ball mount on the mirror stem and use your phone for Nav? I have the BMW Navigator on my BMW R1200RT but seldom use it unless I'm in the mountains and can't get a cell signal. But if you load your route on your phone (I have an iPhone) it works without...

    Has anyone lowered a C400

    My wife like the C400GT over the Vespa 250. Problem is the seat is a bit high for her. I was wondering if lower rear shocks and lowering the front forks a bit would be ok without sacrificing handling too much. Jim

    The Low Five Wave ....

    I always wave and return waves if its safe to do so. I don't take it personal if its not returned. Sometimes the other rider is preoccupied with just riding. Its a friendly courtesy that I'm thankful to be a part of.

    Smartphone mounting

    Photo sensors breaking would not be a good thing with the cost of phones these days.

    Smartphone mounting

    Thanks so much for the suggestions. I didn't know there was a RAM vibration adapter, or is that prt of the quad lock?
