    Side stand no longer breaking

    Happened on my 2016 C650 Sport a couple of months back. The side stand has an inbuilt feature to lock the wheels. It's a nice feature and I'd like to get it fixed, not sure how expensive it will be. Is this common? Any known weaknesses or solutions?

    TPMS Battery change...

    That is awesome. I got this fixed at the service shop, it costs somewhere between 200-300$ and that's per tyre.

    How to remove center panel?

    All other panels were uncomplicated. The center panel is stuck on top after the angle, around the keyhole. Already pulled the screws, the one visible outside on the bottom and another inside after opening left compartment. No more screws that I can see. No articles, tutorials or videos about it...

    How to remove center panel?

    C650 Sport: Want to take panels off to have them repainted professionally to change color. All but one came fairly easy off. The center one, with the keyhole. One visible screw on the outside, one screw on the left side when opening up the left hatch. Still stuck on top. Looks similar to this...

    Multiple question for newly aqcuired 2016 Sport

    A few updates, I got the GIVI windscreen, fits perfectly and they obviously custom designed it as it aligns just besides the mirror stems perfectly. One problem was I lost one of the splice nuts into the bike and never found it again. Need to find a replacement for that some time, but it's...

    Windscreen spoiler

    Recently ordered and fitted a big GIVI touring screen to my 650 sport. Very happy with the result. A few inches taller than stock, wider too.

    A vibration at 90 mph

    When you say check tire pressure, it has automatic monitor for that on the screen. Or do you suspect the electronic tire pressure measurement is incorrect?

    USB won't charge and weird cellphone holder

    Thanks! Yes the cigarette lighter USB 12V adapter (from my previous scooter) fits nicely. Was wondering if it fits, does that mean that it should work? Or perhaps I need a special BMW adapter regardless of whether it fits or not? And yes, was worried that the power cable could have been rerouted...

    USB won't charge and weird cellphone holder

    Got hold of a 2016 BMW C650 Sport this summer. A few technical problems maybe someone here can help me with? 1) The charger adapter doesn't work (DC 12/24 V cigarette lighter to USB) so I can't charge my cellphone. I took this from my previous scooter and it worked then. Are there different...

    Whats the actual recommend octane?

    In Europe everything is 95 oktane, can't find anything below that, but sometimes you can find 98.

    Multiple question for newly aqcuired 2016 Sport

    Yeah I figured that out eventually 😪 It's really sad how the biggest scooters are slowly dying. Big burgman is gone, the 800cc one is long gone, C650 is discontinued as you say. Only the big Forza left, which is more of a motorcycle in disguise than a scooter IMO. I sold my XMAX 300 to try the...

    wet weather riding gear

    I go long distances, had a 12 day trip once (over 5000km). I use regular rain jacket and rain pants, in a comfortable size to put over riding gear. Keep extra pair of gloves in trunk. Boots are leather and semi-rain proof, but weather protection is good so not an issue. When traveling in cold...

    Hey, finally upgraded and managed to get hold of a C650 Sport 2016 (32k km). Condition is ok, but there are some cosmetic parts that are a bit worn or faded. HANDLEBAR First of all, the handlebars and buttons have significant sun fading, the colours and markings have started to wear off. Is...
