Thank you!

I don't understand why BMW decided to not include an engine temperature gauge on this bike. I can tell when its hot or cold outside without a gauge - but I'd like to know how my coolant temperature is doing.

Where do you live was it exceptionally hot that day where you in slow traffic (stop and go) where you riding at high speed for a while and than in traffic is your radiator blocked up with bugs is your coolant low or foaming up a lot of things you could check or maybe the computer had a brain fart

I have ridden my c6 with pillion from San Jose to Sacramento during a crazy heat wave (dumb I know). The temp gauge on the dash read 116 degrees at the highest. I did not experience any temp warnings, although my friend on a GTS300IE did by the end of the ride. What I did experience was some kind of anomaly with the Fuel Gauge. I had just fueled up after an hours ride and the gauge refused to read Full. I had seen this once before and a simple switch off and then back on had reset the sending unit. This time I had to stop and refuel, but she would only accept $0.50, so it was in fact full. After the bike was switched off in Sac and had time to cool down (as best as it could with ambient temps over 108) everything was fine.

As for the fuel gauge this has happened to me in cooler temperatures.

That's because the wizards at BMW felt it was more important to include a tachometer on a motorcycle with a CVT.

Being a service technician for a company that services german and Italian equipment, I should let you know that both countries have en mass vacations during the month of August. I would not be supprised, that your wait time is involved with waiting for a programming guy in Germany to return from vacation and diagnose the soft side of your equipment problem.

My customers have the same problem this time of the year, and they pay 1.5mil per machine, not to mention production profits of 80-160k per month loss.

If your service tech is like me, he is just as frustrated as you are, he wants your bike back up and running as well.

The price we pay for buying a vehicle in its first production year. At our age (meaning: old enough to drive) you'd think we'd know better...

As to the fuel gauge issue. I have found if I turn on the key and WAIT for the needles to sweep, my fuel gauge read FULL after every fill-up. If I turn the key and start it immediately, the fuel gauge will not "update".
