Nice color, congrats!

When I had mine I certainly tried to avoid gravel but I did ride some gravel roads from time to time. Find the best lines preferably with more packed down gravel and avoid any movements - braking, acceleration and turning, similar to rain as the traction will be reduced and varies greatly...

When I sold this KAOKO throttle lock it was because I went to an Excel Throttle Lock. Not as well known as the KAOKO, but in my experience a better design, a slight re-engineering of the design that added a small knob and a two position lock action as opposed to the friction twist adjust of the...

I don’t have my C650GT anymore but as I recall it was prewired with a plug that had a waterproof cap. Just had to use marking on plastic to make a hole for the plug and connect to cable. Cable was wire tied to another so might have to remove panel to get to that. I don’t think you can just drill...

I went through 2 sets of Metzelers on my C650GT and each set was good for 6000-6500 miles, maybe could have stretched them but getting thin and irregular wear. I put a set of Michelin Road Pilot 4 on it and when I sold it they had about 6000 miles on them and I figured they were good for at...

I had a 2014 I sold recently with about 21.5K on it. I did have fears of high expenses for maintenance/repairs when I purchased it, but I found mine to be very reliable. I did my own maintenance, which I am sure saved my some big $$, but in 21.5K I only spent about $1500 in maintenance which...

Mine was a 2014, yes, but I don't think oil change is much different and may need newer plug for GS-911, otherwise should be similar.

Fairly easy job to do, doesn’t require any special tools beside a couple of wrenches and an oil filter wrench of the correct size, but there are alternate ways to get filter off. If you can do an oil change on a car should be easy peasy and you don’t even need a lift or to crawl under it. Only...

You might confirm with BMW but I don’t think those functions work with the c650GT. As far as I know only the K1600, R1200 series and S1000R on later models. I know the NAV V didn’t provide motorcycle info on my 2014 C650GT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would try a parts fiche like the one at Max BMW. They usually have exploded diagrams like this one with part numbers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I went the other way, from a C650GT to a R1200RT. After a couple hundred miles I adapted to the clutch on the left. Previously I had done lots of bicycle racing/riding so I was used to the idea of front/rear brakes on the handlebars. I think after some time you will be fine. There are...

2014 C650GT average of 46.4 MPG after tracking for over 19,000 miles. Mix of around town commuting, week long trips, some 500+ mile days. So about 200 miles to a tank, I had always considered 150 miles my safe range on a tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t tell you for sure on 2018, Admore may be able to confirm this for you. Seems like BMW stayed pretty consistent with wire colors on same model. On 2014 there were 2 plugs that could be removed and used to pass wires through. I used one for light bar and other for a camera. You might be...

Purchased an RT a couple months ago and not enough room for 2 bikes and beyond 1 and my wife considers it a toy and not transportation, so selling my 650 GT. Excellent condition 2014 BMW C650GT. Highline package - heated seat, heated grips, TPMS sensors, Anti-Lock brakes. Well cared for and all...
