    High mileage...

    Reset or delete the service

    Just my experience with resetting is DON'T go to the dealer unless you have one that's really nice to you . Takes 10 mins to reset you code & they - the dealer - will charge 1/2 hr of labor . Typical hr rate is $195 If you plan to keep the BMW for a while then get the GS911 scan tool . IT's...

    Oil change questions

    Hi - I would recommend MOTUL oils . The "Scooter Power" 5-40W oil is good . The 7100 is pure synthetic , so much better quality . I use the Hi-Flo oil filters . Built as good as OEM , but cost less. Ebay is a good source Motul oils

Nobody I know of has the ability to reflash a C650. Also , why would you want to? You want speed, then get a Yamaha MT-10 or a MT-07. Those...

    2013 timing chain tensioner

    Berks - I'm not surprised BMW acted like like they did . Basically it will cost BMW $ to do the right thing & fix the problem they're completely aware of. I was hard to get BMW to help me out. BMW doesn't want to do what's right & honorable, which is a sad comment for such a big multi national...

    2015 BMW C650GT

    The 2015 model doesn't have all the features of the 2016 model. The exhaust & transmission is different on the 2016. But the biggest problem is you have a mechanical cam chain tensioner, not the hydraulic version. Big issue if you can't trust the mechanical version. It's unknown how dependable...
