    Everyone selling their BMW scooters?

    On this forum and on the Google+ forum there are quite a few owners selling their scooters. The prices are not good for resale or trade. What are people buying, another BMW 2016 or some other scooter or motorcycle? I thought about buying a new C650GT but my dealer won't talk discounts for the...

    Dropped!!!!

    I picked up a nail on a trip from Pa to Northern Ohio so I felt lucky when my dealer told me he had a rear Metzler in stock. I limped to the dealer and waited 2.5 hours when the dealer came out and told me the scooter fell off of the work stand. My scooter has 6000 miles and has worked...

    Timing chain and other problems solved

    Took my 2013 650 to the dealer for the chain recall at 5600 miles and noticed that the battery was not holding a charge. Yep the dealer did the necessary recalls and 6000mile service. He said that the battery was out of warranty since 4/9/2015. Grrrr. BMW is supposed to check a warranty claim...

    Recalls

    Would it be possible to establish a separate forum topic, perhaps a sticky that lists the recalls for the scooters. I think I have noted them all but was surprised about the clutch seal recall. My dealer is clueless and relies on an aftermarket database of recalls so it would be good to...

    Tailight condensation

    I park in a cold garage (below grade) and have noticed some condensation in the taillights. I am surprised that they are not sealed. Anyone else notice this?

    Top box suggestions

    I would like to buy a top box for my 650GT. It is not something that I will use a lot so the BMW box is more than I want to spend. I am thinking of a soft case that would fit on the passenger seat or later on the luggage rack when I buy one. I see that there are some very inexpensive boxes on...

    How hard should they be - Tires that is

    I find the owner's manual difficult to understand as to proper tire inflation. I think there was something lost in the translation from German to English. I just decide what is appropriate and add or reduce the pressure with a tire gauge until it is right. I am 235 pounds and carry 35F and...

    Fuel filler door. c650gt

    Well I've gone and done it. I accidently opened the fuel oor latch and then opened the trunk - underseat storage. Immediately the little tab on the fuel door broke off. It is the worst designed thin abs part I have seen. The tabs are only 1/8th of an inch thick. It is designed to fail. Has...

    Battery life and charging

    I haven't driven my new for me 2013 C650GT for about a week and a half. I am concerned with parasitic drain on the battery while the ignition is off. Does anyone know how long the battery lasts without recharging? What are the suggestions about recharging? 1. Through the accessory port. I read...

    Hi from Chagrin Falls Ohio - Snow capital of the US this winter

    I just wanted to check in. I have a 2013 c650gt which was delivered by the dealer Monday. I was able to ride it yesterday and was impressed by the way it handled and the ease of twist and go. I was initially concerned by whether this scooter would be fast enough off the line for me - it is -...
