Type Plate Location

[aburgos]

Hi. I'm looking to download an owner's manual for a c 650 GT. The BMW site tells me I need to find some numbers on the "Type Plate". Where is that located on the scooter?

Thanks in advance.

The Rider's Manual says "Type plate (on the right of the head tube)". It's also called the "steering head". Put your right ear next to the top of the front fender and look up, preferably with a strong light. It looks like reading or photographing the whole plate would require removing some bodywork, but you might be able to poke a phone up there and photograph at least some of it.
But you can download the manual without the magic number from the type plate. Go to https://www.bmw-motorrad.com/en/service/manuals/rider-manual.html
Select "C Models".
Select "C 650 GT 0C15" for recent USA models.
