    Will the scoot run with a jump start?

    I know you can't push start a 650 but if the batteries very low will the scoot continue to run after being started with a jumper cable? Also - do you think 18gauge wire can carry sufficient current to start the scoot? Will 12A start the scoot? Anyone put an amp gauge in series with the battery...

    Windshield won't move.

    On my thread about a battery problem I mentioned the windshield won't move. I removed the battery for an hour while I installed a replacement. What effect that can have on the windshield I can't imagine. Is there a fuse I could have blown? Any advice?

    Muffleritis !

    I had a chance to look at, hold an Akrapovic slip on at a BMW dealer. You could look straight thru. Anyone taken off the stock muffler to see if there is baffling or blockages. Really would like a different more noticeable sound but will not pay Akra's price. I'd consider punching out mine...

    Checking the oil is a pain

    The "check oil" light came on. I checked the oil after a ride and it was low but above the "Add oil" mark. The next day I started the engine and let it run until I felt hot air coming out of the muffler. Probably 2 minutes. I then started adding oil until it was to the top mark. I guess...

    Silver seat cover?

    Anyone bought just a silver seat cover? I parked next to a Burgman and the guy had a tiny cover that just fit the seat. I've been raising the seat during these hot days but can't always keep out of the sun.

    Is Akrapovic muffler any good?

    I just don't see any difference in the charts to warrant changing out for this muffler. Is the fascination just change for change's sake? I'd like more rumble. What is the real world value of this muffler?

    Anyone dropped the long skinny oil filter in the pan?

    If it hadn't been for this forum I surely would have dropped mine. Is there a ledge just below the filter where you can fish from? Do U just leave the dropped filter in the case? Any comments?

    This forum saved my C650GT !!!!

    Did my first oil change and it wasn't pretty. My oil drain pan was too tall so trying to get the bolts loose and getting the pan back under the BMW was a challenge that I didn't meet. BUT the big drama was the 5" long x 3/8" diameter secondary filter! If it hadn't been for this forum I would...

    Jack Stand Anyone?

    Just made this jack stand that allows me to lift my C650GT front tire off the ground. I can now use the cheap Northern Tool scissor jack that I had been using to raise my Harley. Sorry - first post to add a picture

    Oil change bolt / nut sizes

    Just want to make sure I'm undoing the correct bolts to do an oil change. The main oil change bolt is a star (torqx) bolt and specified as being an M16 x 1.5. I'm not familiar with the M16 designation. The one I think is correct needs a T-50 Torqx bit and is to the Left of the muffler. The...
