My recall part did come in last week and I have an appointment Friday to get the work done on it. Good luck to all!

Looked at the itemized bill. Filter 23.99 2 O-rings 9.98 4 quarts oil 55.92 Gasket ring 2.99 half hour labor 62.50 Plus tax and "zep supplies" whatever that is. 160.62

Thanks, everyone. I will ask him to read these responses before he does it. I do have a receipt and it's broken down but I don't have it in front of me. I will take a look at the labor rate/time. I am learning how expensive a BMW is to maintain!!!

I just had an oil change done and it came out to $160. I almost fainted and my husband says he will do them from now on. Anyone here do their own? Is it difficult? I am just wondering what makes it so expensive at the dealership- maybe it can't be done by a regular person or maybe it takes...

I'm still waiting for the part to come in. Last time I asked, they said it was supposed to be here on the 10th. We shall see if I get a phone call today.

This is timely- I had just called my local shop (where I bought it... in Scottsdale, AZ) to schedule a "service" (oil change and some other super expensive thing they want me to pay them for) and they said there is a recall with the front brake line... and that he would order parts for it that...

I'll give that a try, even tho it fits great in the top case. Nice to have options!!

Hmmm, interesting. I'll mention it to my husband who does all the work! Thank you!

I am female, 5'6" and weigh 135. The C650GT is the first bike I have owned. I took the basic rider course last August but did nothing until November when I made this purchase. I personally don't find it top heavy (not that I have a basis for comparison) and I have had to pick it up twice and...

I got them (after I dropped it the first time... of course!) and then I dropped it once more and the ones on the edge of the fairing got scratched. They're definitely good for some falls. We did find out, disappointingly, that the newer sets don't have the add on piece for the back (sorry, I...

I am having the same problem! My husband is the one who assembled and installed it and he says (I am paraphrasing here) that the "catch" is too long or something so it doesn't release easily (I have to sort of give it a sort of punch with the side of my fist to get the handle to pop up). If I...

I got my 2018 new last November and had barely gotten my endorsement last fall. It's too hot here (Phoenix) to ride much in summer. I have put 2753 miles on it. It's not the only 2-wheeled conveyance I OWN, but it's the only one I actually USE.

Thank you, I'll try that. I did just get in the top box that I ordered but it's good to have options! On a side note... I was surprised at how.... cheap, for lack of a better word... the top box looks. For close to $500 I would have expected something more than plastic... a liner...

Although this is not my post, thanks for the info. I have a size medium full face Bilt helmet and I canNOT get it to fit under the seat (even my husband has tried) so a top box it shall be, even though I don't really like the way they look. I already got the luggage rack so I guess I am part...

It sounds like many of you are motorcycle riders as well as scooter riders. For those people- how difficult do you find it to transition back and forth? I got my endorsement on a very small motorcycle but have only ridden a scooter since then and I am worried about making the transition to...
