Hello Group, I recently traded in my '13 650GT for the '18 model - which is vastly improved by the way but a subject for a different thread. One difference in the specs is that the '18 manual states that the rear tire is to be set for 42 PSI. The '13 rear tire was set for 36 PSI, unless there...

I just had a set of Michelin Power Pure SC tires put on my 650GT to replace the original Metzeler Feelfree. The BMW service write-up shows them being inflated to 36 (front)/42 (rear) PSI. The manual calls for 35/36 PSI unless riding two-up, when the rear should be set to 42 PSI. The new tires...

My hazard flashers have come on unexpectedly three times now. Once while riding, and twice after parking the bike and coming out of a store to see the flashers going. Luckily the unattended ones were short duration before discovery. With the key set to the lock position and removed, the...

One of the members of another BMW Scooter forum (on Google +) that I visit, found an excellent technical manual (not a service manual) on the C series scooters that BMW has published, most likely, for internal use. It has excellent cutaways and a good overall technical discussion into the...

Hi everyone, I'm a few rides into my new C650GT. With the weather finally starting to cooperate here in the NE, I'm starting to plan longer rides. I read Jamie's roadside assist problems from last summer. I realize that I don't even have an "800 number" for BMW roadside assistance and...
