I charge $90 an hour and I'll change these clutches out for $50 a pop all day long. Of course with the cost for shipping you probably wouldn't save any money, but I'm just sayin', it's not that big of a job. Just gotta have a way to compress the spring while removing and replacing the nut. My...

I don't plan to change variators any time soon. I changed out the rollers for Dr Pulley sliders when I changed the clutch and I think that pretty much accomplishes most of what the aftermarket variator would. Besides, I've tuned my Dr Pulley clutch by changing the springs and consequently it now...

I used to be a tech nerd myself. I was a systems engineer for 16 years. Started out when PCs ran on DOS well before Windows even existed. Finally got fed up with the corporate world, walked away from a 6 figure salary and moved back to Oklahoma to open my own motorcycle repair shop. Money ain't...

Can't say as I blame you. I think I mentioned that I've never been a big fan of Dunlops either. I just thought I'd give them a try based on all the good reviews the ScootSmart tires have gotten in Europe and the limited choices available in the 160/60-15 size. I'll probably try Metzelers next.

My 2013 C600 Sport came oem with Pirellis. I've found that tires are a very subjective thing to most folks. To each their own.. Whatever trips your trigger... Whatever floats your boat... etc., etc..... or just insert your own idiom here. :) So far, I'm really liking my Dunlops. I'm just sayin...

Seems like I'm always buying the latest greatest new model tires so I never bother to check the dates. I might start now that you brought it to my attention though. Thanks Steve !!

I ride BMW scooters and motorcycles which means I can't afford to buy BMW riding gear!! :p

I've got the Navigator V and oem mount on my C600 Sport and I love it. I've listened to music while riding on long trips for years but I use satellite radio. I've heard others say they've used an sd card in Navi V with no problems. If I were you, I'd try it again while it's still under warranty.

BMW of Fort Worth has a couple of brand new 2013 C600 Sports for $6,999. They also have a new 2016 C650GT for $10,347 and a new 2015 C650GT for $10,036 at their Huntsville Alabama store.

I bought my 1 owner 2013 C600 Sport with 5200 miles on it in March. I got lucky as the previous owner had already had the 6000 mile service done, added a USB plug, replaced the stock exhaust with an Arrow header and Akropovic muffler, replaced the stock air filter with a K&N, added a Wunderlich...

No doubt it was a quality problem, but I have to believe it was an isolated issue. Maybe a bad batch or some bad raw materials from a supplier. Could also be problems with the particular plant they were manufactured at. I've run across some Dunlops in the past that were made in Japan that had...

I've never been a big fan of Dunlops myself. The last Dunlops I had came oem on my 05 GS. I didn't like them and replaced them well before they were worn out. I've run Continental tires (Road Attack, Sport Attack, Trail Attack & TKC-80) on all of my bikes for years now, but sadly they don't make...

I recently mounted a set of Dunlop ScootSmart tires on my C600 Sport and I've really been impressed with them so far. The handling and grip is fantastic. The front has a very neutral turn in feel that makes it handle like a true sport bike. I like them much better than the Pirelli Diablo tires...

You don't have to get very far away from the coast in California before it gets hot in a hurry. I used to work in San Francisco and lived in Orinda. Many days I'd have to gear up when I left work due to the fog rolling in and would have to stop and take gear off after I went through the...

Lassen is a truly beautiful park. I've been there several times myself. Sounds like you had a great ride and a great day. Congratulations, I'm jealous !!
