2013 C650 GT Problems to check

Hi -

I have a chance to buy a 2013 C650 GT traded into a local BMW motorcycle dealer . It's listed as well maintained with 13K miles. Can anyone has a 2013 model tell me about problem/trouble areas to check on this scooter. I know there a couple of recalls on this model year. Also read about stalling issues from people on this forum .

Looking for any advice that would help me when I ask the dealer about maintenance history such as recalls being done by a dealer. I know I should confirm the belt & rollers where changed @ 12K.
Is here a way to confirm the DME was flashed & adaptations reset to help fix stalling problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated . I'm located in San Jose area of CA

Thx- Mike

Get paperwork showing the belt and chain adjuster has been replaced (with #2), rollers and sliders have been replaced. Make sure the oil has also been changed in the last couple of months. I have the first scooter off the boat in 2012 and it has run flawlessly. (I don't trust dealers so I do my own maintenance, 73,000km)

Agreed with the above but also make sure it has had its timing chain tensioner replaced as well as the seals at the driving and driven shafts (inside the CVT case).

Hi - Thanks for the info . I took a look at the 2013 scooter & it was well used. Looks like it was stored outside for years. Plastic trim was horrible. They're asking $4500 , but don't think it 's work more than $4000. Also checked the VIN & NONE of the recall work was done on it. I doubt the dealer would fix it & still sell it for less than $4500. I'm still looking. Anyone selling a 2016 model around the northern Calif. ?

Yep, stay away from it.
