Bought my C650GT in Oct 2012 from Mathias BMW in New Philadelphia, OH before I moved to Phoenix, AZ. Have had a couple of issues but the fine folks at Go AZ in Scottsdale, AZ have taken superb care of me as always. Thanks Louie & staff!
Issues
Concerns
And as usual looking for a replacement windshield and a different seat. I guess my body doesn't fit the mold of who BMW thinks is their buyer. I have removed the driver backrest to allow me to sit back a bit further and have more contact area with the seat. And as usual the seat padding is insufficient in cushioning. I swear the model body size BMW must use when designing their bikes is 5'08" and 145# and I am both taller and heavier.
Issues
#1 - Had a final drive leak which took two visits to get resolved and now is fine. Seems a newly designed gasket and proper torque specs did the trick.
#2 - TPS in the rear wheel is off by 4 to 5 lbs. After trying to recalibrate with no success, a new sensor is on order.

Windshield
Working with the great people at AeroFlow to address that concern. They are in the development stage and should have something soon I am told by a reliable source deep inside their corporate structure.

Seat
Have been in contact with Sargent and Corbin about their plans for a seat. Sargent has had a GT in their shop and have told me on two separate calls they are working on one although nothing is posted on their website as of yet. Have visited Corbin in Hollister, CA and they have plans to produce and are waiting time in R&D to get it started. Subsequent followup emails and nothing happening there as of yet either.
