I find my 2014 BMW C600 Sport the most practical 2-wheel transport for Metro Manila (Philippines) traffic. It takes me about 1.5-2 hours to travel 7kms from office to home on a bad day (i.e., Friday night, pay day and it's raining). Some have it worse. On my scoot? It takes me 35-45 mins to...
Wow. You guys are really putting a lot of mileage on your tires. On my Ducati Diavel, I replaced it after 5000kms and only after 4 years. I’d be happy if i can get like 12T kms before i change the set.
Hi. I've had 8400kms on the scoot. Tire grooves are still good. No punctures at all since I got the bike. It's been 3 years now. Just wondering if i should be replacing the set for safety reasons. TIA.
After 8800 kms I have had to replace the low beam 2X and the high beam once. Switched to Osram Nightbreakers. I hope they last.
First time around I took down the right panel and battery to get to the low beam. Took me 1.5 hours. The time I replaced the high beam, I took down the left panel to...
I've had my share of motorists and bikers tell me I have a light out. I tell them it's a European way. The other light is the high beam. They nod with new found knowledge. :)
I have the R&G bar ends and it just made the rubbing on the side panels and the side mirrors worse. I used only the washer portion of the R&G and that gave me a little but still rubbing. The real solution is to extend the height of the side mirrors by an inch in order to have the hand guard...
Seraphtan, I find that the handguards touch the bottom of the side mirrors and barely touches the side panels. Not good as a slight change in handguard angle can be disastrous. Am looking for side mirrors to replace the stock ones but it has to be higher than stock. Lowering it will just...
Get an Optimate 6. Connect the charging cable directly to the battery. Connect when at home to charge the battery.
Install a PDM60 so that you can program what appliances should only turn on when ignition is on. Leaving an always hot accessory port could open you up to people who will plug...
Thanks for this information Stephan. I got my Acerbic Vision recently and I noted that if I take the bar ends off to install it, it hits the side mirrors and the dash. Which means I need to have bar ends to prevent this. Using the R&G bar ends I currently have won't cut it as it make the hand...
Thanks Serapthan. Yeah, some people can be annoying. Ignore them.
On the Acerbis Vision, care to share how you wired it?
Thanks for the response on the top box. Will consider switching to that box.
On your Acerbis Vision, you set it up as an aux light? Not as an additional signal light...

Thank you everyone. I saw that caliper that Snowdog mentioned. But my owners manual on page 79 just says how to test the parking brake. No instructions on where that caliper is located and in what direction to turn it. Anyway, I managed to find it and adjusted it accordingly. Thanks so much Snowdog.
On my C600, when the side stand is down, it serves as a brake to prevent the bike from rolling down or forward in a slope. That was when I got it brand new. Now, when the side stand is down, it doesn't "brake." I have to park the bike in a flat surface or put a small rock on the wheel to...
