My 2015 650GT is still running on the original battery. I do have a new Yuasa sitting in the box just because as in May, it'll have been 8 years since I took delivery of the bike.

On earlier models, the socket in the left glove box would work with a charger. By 2015, which is the model year I own, that no longer worked. My dealer had installed a pigtail like DCScooter shows that was connected to the battery and tucked up under the panel by the forks. That's probably the...

I don't know if this is what you have in mind, but we bought a pet grooming dryer a while back. It scared the hell out of our dogs but it sure works well for drying the scooter. Between the high velocity and heat (if needed), it pretty well blows the water out of that area as well as the rest of...

Hi, I received a new recall notice in the mail today regarding the front brake hose issue that was addressed in a previous recall. I guess it wasn't fully resolved earlier. Does anyone know more details about this?

Try applying the rear brake lightly with a little throttle. I find that works to help with the on/off behavior of the CVT at low speeds.

I'm strictly an in-town rider and I think my mileage on the 650 is around 35 mpg +/- (around 14 kpl?). Tank capacity is 4 US gallons.

I got my disc on that e-marketplace that shall go un-named. Watch for the years covered.

So long Jaime, I'll miss your posts and photos.

Yes, The Service Manual says remove the carpet and you'll have to remove the luggage compartment light to do that - Here's the screw locations -

Hi Claudio, I'm not sure what model year your bike is but this is what I've experienced. Several members here with older models have said that they can charge through the socket in the glove compartment. My bike is a 2015 model and I cannot use that method. Maybe a change in the canbus system...

Here's what I have from 2015 manual -

Thanks for the explanation, this certainly does look like it's a better solution than the type that you stick to the existing mirror.

Did you have to move the grip or was the screw on the bar end cap long enough to reach?

Hopefully the tool kit is in your bike. There's a "Hook Wrench" included in it to adjust the preload on the rear spring - Here are the recommendations from the owner's manual for settings -

I've been interested in this since reading the webbikeworld blog on the 2013 GT ( http://www.webbikeworld.com/bmw-c-650-gt/paint-protection/ ). If someone offered correctly cut film at a price I could afford I'd certainly consider it.

2015 C650GT Quartz Blue

I see a listing from that well known auction site for 2016 issue manuals including the Sport and GT for $30.00 (US) plus $4.00 shipping which is nearly 1/3 the price of what I've seen elsewhere. The vendor is in Italy and provides a DVD manual available in several languages. A quick look through...

Hi Axel, In the US they are sold by at least one dealer. They appear to be in DVD format with the basic disc costing $72.07 then an additional $16.10 for the 600 Sport. The newer 650 Sport model isn't listed but it must be available, possibly at a different price as for some reason the GT...

Yeah, due to snowfall and ice on the roads here the past several weeks I haven't checked in with the dealer to see if they finally resolved the problem as I couldn't get it home anyway. From what others have said and all of the things my dealer has tried with no success I have to think that the...
