In the USA, the fuel standards are different.
I use premium fuel because it's not much more expensive. I pay 1-2€ more per fill-up. I've never actually counted it.
Hi.
Here in Slovakia and Hungary, but I think elsewhere in Europe, E5 gasoline is 100 octane, and E10 is 95 octane. I use E5 gasoline because of the less ethanol and the higher octane.
Hi.
I have been using BMW Advantec 5w40 oil since the beginning. I read that Shell actually makes it for BMW. I have seen several reviews of this oil and there were no complaints about it.
Hi.
I also have a CTEK xs 0.8 charger. Unfortunately it is not CANBUS compatible either. I had to buy a new one. I invested in an OEM BMW motorcycle charger, which can now charge Lithium batteries. Maybe I will have one someday :)
The Optimate 3 does not have a CAN-bus chip. So charging does not work on the 12V plug. You have to connect it directly to the battery, only then will it charge. Otherwise, it will not.
Hi.
Thanks for the comment. Yesterday I bought a new battery for the key. I weighed it and it was fully charged, 3.28V. I wrote it wrong in the previous post. It was not a Duracell, but an Energizer battery. I bought Duracell now. I see that these are much fresher batteries, with these there is...
Hi.
Personally, I'm happy with the factory Pirelli Angel Scooter tires, but I was looking around to see if there was anything better. Maybe the Metzeler Roadtec Scooter tires still look really good. They're worth a try.
Hi.
I also have problems with the battery in the remote control key. I replaced it in vain, but after starting the scooter it immediately said that the battery was 50% charged. I measured it and the battery was 3.10V, Duracell. I don't know what could be the problem. Could the battery be that...
Even if I fill up the tank and consume it, it still shows 82%. The Km countdown is good. Not just my percentage feedback. I don't want to delete the app and reinstall it, because I don't want to lose my old ways.
Thanks for the comment.
Hi,
For some time now, the fuel percentage display has been constantly showing 82% in the BMW application for quite some time. No matter how much I update it, it doesn't improve. Does it work well for you?
Hi. Many Chinese cars and motorbikes are better than European ones, just look them up on youtube. This China is no longer that China. Many people are mistaken, they look down on Chinese-made machines, even though they shouldn't.
Hi.
I took the gloves off. They look good, but they are not practical. There are 2 reasons. The first is that I have an oem bmw large windshield and I couldn't lock the steering wheel because I couldn't turn the steering wheel away from it. The second is that the aerodynamics have completely...
Liqui Moly came into the coolant yesterday. I put in the prescribed amount. I drove it about 100 km. I checked this morning and so far there is no drop. Everything is dry. I hope it stays that way :)
Hi.
I also put on the hand guard yesterday. It's from Aliexpress. The quality is quite good, and it looks good.
Oh, and I also installed a rear wheel fender. This way the engine compartment will not get muddy.
