Brief Update on my stalling issue : It turns out that the vacuum hoses was the problem. The Service Manager showed me the original hoses, one of them had a large crack in it which let too much air which caused it to run rough and cut out at low speeds. I put about 100 miles on the scooter since...

My 2013 C-650GT recently went through a random stalling issues. It would stall under 1k rpm on low speeds and at traffic lights. I tried seafoam and replacing the air filter and that didn't solve the problem. I took it to Cross Country BMW at Hasbrouck Heights and after replicating the problem...

I started out with 2013 BMW scooter then added 2014 RT and about two years ago, I added 2015 K1600 GTL Exclusive for 2 up riding. I have no problems transtioning between the scooter and the motorcycle. In some ways the scooter is better to handle the New York city area traffic. Thanks to the...

I had Cross Country replace my bulb a few years back. They charged $25 for labor to replace the bulb.

I bought Shorai Lithium Iron Battery LFX18A1-BS12 from Revzilla after my warranty ran out last November. Last winter was fairly mild in NJ and i didn't have it on a battery tender. After 3 months it did fire up without any issues. I am planning getting a battery tender for this winter. I'm...

I just got a replacement key from MAX BMW. They do require your Vin number as well as a copy of your driver's license and registration.

Update on my EWS error, I think i might have resolved it. i read somewhere that the key might be prone to electrical interferences that might cause the EWS error. Well, on my key ring I had a key to my 2014 RT in addtion to the GT and i seperated them to two sets of keys the other day. Since...

I'm getting the EWS error on both keys, while it does work by recycling the ignition key, I'm worried that it might get to a point where i might get stuck. it seems to be random and not happen each time. I did recently replace the BMW OEM battery with a Shorai Lithium Battery and I'm still...

I did stop by the booth and saw both the Sport and the GT spending the most time with the GT. As Jaime indicated probably the biggest change was the rear end. I did notice small, subtle changes to the GT, the cover to the dash where the GPS mount goes was a shiny glossy black cover and I...

Hi Yellasei. I did install the foam straps in the clamping block so I don't think that's issue. I think the screws in the clamping bolt or cross member might the issue.

I'm running into an issue installing the BMW GPS Mount. I've followed all the steps outlined in the instruction manual and the mount is loose on the cradle. I can move it up and down. I think it might have to do with step 12 in the manual. It references installing the cross member and hand...

Thanks Xian and Tom for your reply. Once i remove the passenger grab rail, do i need to remove the carpeting in the luggage area as tom mentioned out to get at the torx screws? I've had the passenger grab rail off before, from what I recall I don't think I've seen any torx screws behind the rail.

I damaged the tail trim recently while towing my scooter on a trip and i need to replace it (it's beyond touch up repair). I ordered a replacement from MAX BMW. Looking at the manual it doesn't mention how to remove it unlike the front panels. Just wondering if anyone has replaced it and if...

I guess i'm lucky, my bulb just burned out at 10,000 miles. I followed the instructions in the manual to replace it by pulling off the right panel and let's say the tech writers missed a few important steps. Apparently, they forgot to mention that the battery box was blocking it. I came across...

Skip, initially i had ordered the Dowco X large cover and it fit until I had ordered the SHAD-48 case. I upgraded to the Dowco XX large a few months back and it covers the scooter and case.
