I noticed that, too, a couple of days ago. Thanks for following up on that.

Well, your entire scooter could be considered obsolete. I mean, BMW doesn't make the 600/650 scooters anymore. However, if my research is correct, e.g., https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/DiagramsMain.aspx?vid=54688&rnd=10232024 , that looks like part # 46637725054: A quick search reveals many...

You're quite welcome. That doesn't help you any with the tricky task of removing the stock grips without braking anything -- good luck on that -- but I had hoped that it might be useful to you when you get to the wiring part. Looking forward to your finished report, for other '19 owners ...

Disclaimer: I've never installed heated grips on a bike, but I've had some that came with them. Possibly useful to you: I've added some 12V switched-with-ignition accessories to my former and current C 400s, and you might find my discussion of their power sources helpful, in terms of powering...

What year, model, and mileage are we talking about here?

It's getting below freezing most mornings these days, and most afternoons aren't getting into the 60s(F). Here's where I went yesterday (counter-clockwise): And here's a chunk of the ride, along the bottom right (4K, 13 minutes):

I took a brief ride yesterday: My season may have ended with that ride, as It's getting too cold for me, but I wanted to check out the YSS shocks that I installed a few days ago (see https://www.bmw-scooters.com/threads/yss-rear-suspension-upgrade.2319/post-31959): Here are a couple chunks...

Thanks much for your comments, and for your concern, attempt at helping me, etc. As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I couldn't wait, once the shocks arrived, and luckily managed to get through the installation without a lot of cuss words. Here are my tips for anyone adding YSS...

Sad, but you know you best. Good luck with your sale.

Hey, thanks for the follow-up. As it turns out, I just finished putting them on about an hour ago (they arrived yesterday). I had hoped I wouldn't have to take out the washtub (i.e., underseat storage), but I wound up doing that. The shop manual says you can just have the flexcase in the down...

Most of my goofing-off day trips (i.e., start from home, wander around on back roads in some compass direction that I haven't ridden in recently, and return home) are from 150 - 250 miles. They are no big deal, non-events, no drama, no special planning, no special equipment, regarding your...

Resurrecting this thread from a couple of years ago, I ordered the YSS shocks about a week ago and expect to have them here (upstate NY, USA) shortly. And now, some notes for others, and a question for @byee ... WHAT CHANGED?: I had some life-style changes recently. In order: - A year and a...

Yeah, there's some questionable cut-and-paste going on in the company. In terms of BMW, for example, my C 400 GT owners manual refers to "Replacing all spark plugs" whenever the subject is mentioned, and even the 843-page shop manual has a short chapter about "Renewing all spark plugs."...

Sorry to hear about your issue, but glad it turned out okay. A summary of some other C 400 engine problem reports: ----------------------- In 2023, my '22 C 400 GT, with about 5,600 miles, had an engine problem. I heard second- or third-hand that a valve-keeper spring failed, or got...

1) Different scooters: Note that this thread is a little confusing because, if I understand the situation correctly, the OP, @Sherlock, has a C 600/650 scoot, while @sanoke has a C 400 X. So, just a heads up to other readers, some apples and oranges going on here. 2) I had an engine problem...
