Greetings from a new CE 04 owner in South Florida. It's a 2022 with 4,900 miles. Price was $6750 and included excellent add-ons like an orange/black bench seat, four (4!) windscreens, a centerstand, Shad top case and J1772 to Tesla adapter. Bought it two days ago (Sunday, August 10th) in...

You say it has a good dealer service history. Then it should be easy to check if the CVT belt and rollers were changed at 12,000 miles, as the maintenance schedule calls for. That's around a $1,000 job at a dealer. On the other hand, you could buy a Mitsuboshi belt and BMW variator holding tool...

Don't know who "they" is, but that may have some truth to it. On one of my pigtail connections, the positive cable came loose. Had to be disconnected for three or four minutes, but ... voila, the windscreen still worked. Sounds like from my experience and what you're saying, there's at least a...

I've added pigtail connectors to C 650 GT's for battery tenders. First thing I do before I loosen the nuts on the battery is strap the positive and negative cables down FIRMLY with electrician's tape. That way, when I loosen the nuts to slip the pigtail connectors on the posts, the ECU has...

Not to be Debbie Downer, but it might be a tough sell. I've seen one for sale in Florida. A quick search for CE-04's shows half a dozen for sale under $9,000, with the lowest at $7,500. I sat on a CE-04 and it's roomy, easy to stretch out. I'd consider buying one. Always thought the C Evo looks...

Major service due at 40km. If done at the dealer, it's expen$ive. From what I've gleaned from Aussie riders/writers, it sounds like even if you do the work yourself, parts are expensive and not easy to procure. Might be better to wait for a bike with fewer km's, then you only need to worry about...

"Well, that's a horse of a different color," said Dorothy. Or Dot's husband. One of those two. This changes everything, thank you! The BMW C 400 GT is officially back on my list of, "Yep, gotta own one of those someday." I was reading another thread on this forum about official...

Always enjoy these quality videos. So nice to see hills and curves instead of the pool-table flat roads of Florida (full disclosure: barely a word about tires in the words below). I rode through Vermont last summer. Gorgeous and a "generous" population density, meaning you can ride for miles...

I've never had a bike on the bed of a pickup so that's all Greek to me. If what you did worked, that's great. Here's what the manual shows for others who may be interested ....

I ride a Burgman 650 at the moment (I've owned six BMW C 650 GT's). I realize the Burgman is not the GT, but I can say from painful experience that the big Burgman does NOT like being tied down by the handlebars. Several years ago I left a nice Thanksgiving Day dinner at my in-laws to find a...

Bill, Best wishes on a smooth and speedy recovery. I'm venturing north this summer but not sure if I'll make it east to the capitol region. If so, I'll let you know and pop in. I've been shopping for my 7th BMW C 650 GT so I may be riding that. The "big sewing machine," as you called it...

It's not clear if you have the tab and attaching hardware that broke off, or if you're starting from ground zero. If you don't have it, I'm guessing a dealer would. I've used this stuff specifically for broken tabs, including the exact one you're talking about (I had the piece that broke off)...

Good report. I lived in Milwaukee for ten years after grad school up in Menomonie. Love Wisconsin. My two oldest kids were born there. I never called this bike a "scooter" and heaven and earth will pass away before I ever say I was out "scootin'." It's a mid-size motorcycle that's automatic...

Depends on the oil filter you use, of course. Filter size is 76mm. Here's the part # for the OEM filter...

Gen 1.0 models, 2016 and earlier, have gray final drive cases. 2017+ have black. Enjoy your new ride!

Very nice of you to say, thank you. Many wizened riders gave me help when I was discovering the wonders of maxi-scooters. I'm happy to pass it on.

There are small covers for those two spots. Part # BMW 46 54 7 680 837, "Cover Plug." URL for any and every BMW C 650 GT part: https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/DiagramsMain.aspx?vid=57522&rnd=09082020

Clearly a lie. I always wonder why. Why do people wake up and devote their day to deceiving others? Or worse, stealing someone's money. Why not put all that time and talent into an honest endeavor? In this case, what on God's green earth is the gain of putting new audio on a ten year old bike...

Best tip I ever got ... Never, ever, not once, DO NOT TRUST THAT A CAR PREPARING TO TURN IN FRONT OF YOUR BIKE SEES YOU AND WILL STOP. Slow down. Veer to the right. Leave yourself space to get away. Flick your brights erratically. Cars turning in front of bikes are the #1 cause of motorcycle...

Gotcha. Thank you for the clarification.
