    Scooter AND Motorcycle Riders

    I am wondering for those of you that own and ride both a C650GT/C600 and another regular motorcycle how easy is it to transition between the two bikes? Like ride one and then the other the same or next day? Do you find yourself trying to use the clutch as a brake or realize you need to shift...

    Iron Butt Ride

    Completed my first Iron Butt Saddlesore 1000 on my C650GT over the weekend. 1067 miles in 21 hours, about 16 hours of riding. We traveled around Lake Michigan, same trip but different route I did with a group of guys in 6 days, a more relaxed pace then. My cousin rode with me on his R1200RT. The...

    Seat pad

    Anyone found a seat pad - air or other that fits a C650GT and works well? Looking at a very long ride and it was suggested to alter the pressure points to make sitting more comfortable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Survey says...mileage

    Was looking on CycleTrader at various bikes and seems like you find many low mile bikes/scooters out there suggesting either riders only use for very short trips or they sit around not being used much. This may have been asked before but how about a survey of current mileage on your C650GT or...

    Arrived back from a week long trip with our multi state group from IL, IN and OH down to Smoky Mountains area.

    Parking brake

    Changing out parking brake pads as non functioning and looked like inner pad was worn. Replacement pads look nothing like OEM, online catalogs all show similar small pads and looks like there was a break in part numbers in 2014 but all images show smaller pads. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone...

    TPMS slow to read

    Last couple days the rear TPMS reading has been slow to register. In past just needed to get up to about 30MPH and a bit down the road and both would register a pressure. Last couple days seems like rear pressure doesn't show up for several minutes. Just see "---" until it finally shows a...

    Brake pad life

    For those of you that have replaced the brake pads, about how many miles are you getting on a set of pads - front and rear? Replacing with OEM or aftermarket like EBC and have you found one brand better than another? Heading down to Smokies end of May and thinking I will just replace pads in...

    New Tires, Again! Michelin Road Pilot 4's this time

    So I've put about 5,200 miles on the Metzeler tires I replaced in April of this year. Was hoping the second set of OEM tires might get more miles but it looks like only going to get to 6,000 miles or maybe 6,500 miles if I push it. Might be OK in dry weather another 1000 miles but in wet I am...

    On a 6 day trip around Lake Michigan and just the other day on day 3 I start up to leave and see the warning light and it indicates a headlamp out. Sure enough my friend verifies it is out. I have my auxiliary lights but we were in Green Bay and heading into an area with less buying options so...
