Wouldn't a Velcro strip work just as well?

Ceesie, I'm sure you're right about lack of demand being the issue. I have to wonder though, as fuel prices continue to rise, if that will change in the near future. Also, with the "boomers" and I'm one of those, maybe it's already starting to make more sense for the US to increase scooter...

When I think about it, it really bums me out that in our great USA, where we have access to more than most of the world, we don't get some of the best maxi-scooters. Honda, for example, makes some great maxi's even up to 750cc. And, of course, as was mentioned, the Yamaha offerings with TMax...

A backpack works pretty well for smaller items like laptop, etc.

I usually don't take a bike back to the dealer unless there's a problem I can't fix. As a result, I can miss out on software updates. I just checked and my '23 C400GT is running on S/W Version 022_008_020. I'm hesitant to mess with it since it's running and idling just fine.

BTW, the Shad rack doesn't replace but goes under the existing stock grab rails.

I decided on Shad for the rack and it worked out perfectly. No replacing of the side panels required.

My concern with this approach is there is no existing rack on the C400GT. So, you need a rack designed to mount on this bike and then, you need a mounting plate and, of course, the box. Just buying a cheap box and mounting plate is just part of the puzzle.

Approx. 22" (bike held vertically and not on centerstand)

No need to check with Motoscan, I've already reset my service reminder using it.

Thanks, Bill, for clearing this up.

Not exactly an answer to your question but I did read somewhere that the engine in our C400GT is Piaggio. Does anyone know for a fact if this is right?

There may be other ways, like GS911, but my preferred method has been the OBDLink LX and the Motoscan app. This has worked great on all the Beemers I've had so far.

I would suspect the side stand, rather than the CS, since the side stand has a switch. Some people disable the side stand switch and I've done that before on other bikes but not on this one. Doing that seemed more logical on previous adventure bikes I've owned.

Assuming my bike is typical, the speedo reads about 3 mph fast. This was determined by comparison to GPS measured speed. For a single cylinder, 350 cc "thumper", seeing 85-86 on the speedo seems pretty respectable to me, which, of course, is only around 83 mph. If I'm going on a longer trip or...

Don't know for sure but if that happened to me, I would disconnect and reconnect the battery to see if that would fix it.

Same here!

My understanding was that the tape strips were stacked. One place in the instructions listed an incorrect length for cutting the strips so watch out for that. Also, I placed the strips according to the cutout areas. That sort of worked but not perfectly. I wound up trimming the visible pieces of...

Rear grab handle to frame M8 X 30: 19 Nm

I haven't given my bike a serious speed test but just from experimenting a couple of times, I really doubt mine is as fast as yours. On level ground, and in a tuck, I might reach a GPS speed of 84-85 mph but not much higher. Of course, my speedo will be reading 2-3 mph more than that. Then...
