Yep, I had a VTX1800 that had a car tire on the rear, I never was really happy with the car tire and when I swapped it for a bike tire handling REALLY improved, suddenly it would "fall" into curves that I had to really force the bike over to navigate before. (I didn't put the tire on, I bought...

Mine was a 2013, I bought one from the bay that came from a 2016 that was in great shape, I still have the 2013 seat but the seams were coming undone. I think it was $130.00 delivered. You could have the original seat for shipping cost, but you may want to check EBAY for a better used one. If...

I now own a Harley Davidson. In 55 years of riding I've never owned one, have made fun of them and their riders, used to run off and hide from them on the streets on my multi cylinder Jap bikes at about 1/2 the displacement of the Harleys, but I must admit, they've come a long way since the 60s...

My 2013 doesn't have that feature, 2016 brought a lot of upgrades. Can you get to that screen while rolling? If so, try the cal, or try rolling enough to get the TPS system active, stop, leave the bike running and try the cal then. Probably stuff you've already tried, I just like to know how...

Yes, that works as well (I've done it with my GS-911) then I learned how to just input the serial number from the sensor and have the bike "look for it". As I re-read the post I have to ask if the RDS CAL is viewed from the scoot (mine is a 2013, so if yours is a later version it may have...

In a perfect world you would be correct, but with my 2013GT I would get high readings, low readings and the double dash up until the battery died and only got the double dash. The weak battery corrupts the signal and affects the measure until it no longer has enough battery to connect. I...

Bike is back together, took my time and made sure it was as good as I could do, was surprised that the wind screen worked after the starter failed and the battery was out for a month while I waited for a starter. Changed the oil and filter and checked it over for any other maintenance items but...

on these scoots the TPMS is separate from the valve. I source the valves separately and change them every 2nd tire. with the TPMS across the wheel from the valve you'll want to keep the original part (as close as possible), this is why I say changing the battery isn't a good idea, the hot glue...

This thread is from 2017, but Bojan is still on here often; when you say you have the same issue did you mean the oil from the kickstand or the misfire when cold or both? The oil level check port is above the kickstand and could be a leak source, the oil filter pre-screen is in the area and...

I'm sorry, I've made 3 tire pressure sensor purchases, they were all made in China, and it's "hit or miss" as to what will work. I found them on EBAY using the BMW part number, 2x TPMS 8532732 Tire Pressure Sensor For BMW Motorcycle C600 Sport C650 433MHz the last ones I bought came from Gangle...

The built in battery for the TPS is failing, eventually the battery will die completely and the message will be constant. There are You Tube videos of people changing the battery but this isn't a good solution as it increases the weight of the TPS and makes tire balance much more difficult. The...

Your "buzzing" sound was coming from the starter solenoid switch, you had to have had low voltage for the electro magnet not to pull the switch closed and send power to the starter. Without enough voltage to pull the switch closed and hold it the spring of the solenoid was fighting the magnet...

I've had the Michelin, the Metzeler, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Pirelli and the shinko. Michelin handled the best hands down, Metzler was the best cross between ride and handling, Perelli handled well, Bridgestone and dunlop were "okay". What I really noticed though was ONLY the center of the tire...

11 11 7 729 509 COOLANT LINE from Max BMW parts catalogue.

I can, but not at the level I competed at, it would be rough falling back through the levels I had already climbed through.
