That's it exactly. You need to apply the brake and then it will just fit on the lever and hold the brake on

My brother gave me a plastic doohickey that lives on the left grip. To use it I swivel it round and latch it to the lever. Very simple and works well.

All my maps had disappeared from my BMW connect app. I have reloaded them and lo, the speed limit appears. But why did the maps disappear? And where?

Thanks for that. Not my phone then!

Although the little box for displaying the speed limit appears on the screen it has stopped actually showing any speed limits. I wondered if this had anything to do with the BMW Connected app. Looking at it I found all my downloaded maps of the UK had vanished. I have reinstalled them but not...

Cool Covers have made a cover for the X. Would it fit a GT?

I am going to use my heated jacket in winter. Does anyone know the power output of the alternator. My old Versys 300X struggled if the heated grips and heated jacket were in use at the same time.

My rear preload is set to 5. Really comfy one up with a full top box. Bit clunky when the box is not on but I live with it as the adjuster is an sob to use. I weigh 14st, 7lbs fully rugged up.

Very true. Did a search for oil related topics and it threw up this thread. Didn't notice that it was a 650 one

Generally how often do folk need to check the oil on C400s. I am used to Hondas which basically do not use much oil if any between service intervals.

Mine just touch the screen on full lock but literally a hairs breadth. Might adjust them a little at some point if the MOT tester does not like it.

Hopefully these will load.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CHB8NRHS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 This is in the UK but I assume there is a version wherever you are! In the end I got my dealer to fit them for me - they fit perfectly and the dealer actually assumed they were Wunderlichs . The mirrors do indeed come...

Just purchased the Amazon version of these - identical except no Wunderlich engraved on them and no instructions. Luckily the Wunderlich ones are down loadable. Only one question - how easy is it to remove the plastics to get at the mounting point? Do you need to remove the mirrors? - the bike...

Yep, you gave me the clue. In android the control is specific to the link to the bike though. So not obvious until you look for it.

Finally sorted out my android phones issue. Turn on the app, connect bluetooth then check on the phone in your bluetooth sttings what permissions the bike has. Mine had media turned off, even though it previously had been on. Something (bike, phone, another app?) had disabled it.

Mine happily takes phone calls but when I try to use the navigation and media functions it will not recognise the app. Most frustrating as it was working fine till two days ago.

Final report. The BMW system cannot detect the parasitic draw of the USB charger but turns off ok if a phone or similar is plugged in. Not a problem unless you leave the bike for a long while with no trickle charger.

No worries Bill I plugged my satnav in and came back 45 minutes later to find both it and the tell tales had gone out. Final test will be to plug in the lead and leave it overnight and see if it goes out. Bike is on a trickle charger so battery voltage will not drop. Could be that mine has a quirk?

I think you may have hit on the problem. I have a din to USB adapter fitted with two usb ports on it and a blue tell tale light. I shall try plugging a SATNAV into it and see if that triggers an auto power off....
