    Hand guards for an X

    Anybody using hand guards on an X? If so what brand? I’m thinking the BMW guards for a 310 GS will fit (mount to mirror stem and grip end). Thanks

    Whats the actual recommend octane?

    My manual notes regular grade gasoline. 91 ROZ/RON, 87 AKI (AKI is the US rating for octane). Everything I came across in online or bike manual notes regular grade, the dealer is saying premium? Do what the book says and you’ll never be wrong. My 310 GS runs on regular, if I used anything higher...

    Emergency Braking: Scooter vs Motorcycle

    Linked brakes are rear activated with front, I don't know of any that work the other way (front applied with rear). My C650 sport does not have linked brakes. BMW RT and Honda ST worked rear with front.

    TPMS inaccurate.

    You do know that the TPM that is used by BMW is temperature compensated, the pressure gauges most use are not. To correctly set the pressure follow the manual, your TPM will then read correctly.

    Lithium ion battery

    Lithium ion or lithium iron? I'm familiar with lithium iron but in a different capacity. They work well but don't like cold weather, you have to wake them up. Charging can also be an issue but if it's specified for motorcycle use I would hope they have that figured out. I'll stick with AGM

    Check chain sag?

    You make a good point, thanks. I was going to pitch it not thinking I would reuse it with a new chain set. You are also correct in that it shows zero wear. Thanks again

    Check chain sag?

    I just finished the chain adjustment, uneventful. Stage 2 put the chain in spec. I used the BMW oil which is C-SAF-XO 75/90 Only suggestion I would have is be careful putting the cover on so you don't damage the oil seal. I used an inch pound torque wrench for the hardware. Time start to finish...

    Check chain sag?

    Just did my running in service on the C650 sport. Chain sag measures bottom of chain is at arrow indicating adjustment required. Adjustment needed in only 600 miles I'll order stage 2 and keep an eye on it, we'll see.

    2016 looks ... tame

    The C650 sport is still cable, not certain on the GT but I believe that is also cable. No RBW

    Service light and reminder

    The 2016 C650 sport uses an OBD connector. It is Can based not K-line so the GS911 is not compatable. I don't know about the new GT's Hopefully Hex will come up with a way to interface with the OBD connector.

    Over intrusive traction control almost caused me to drop my scooter!!!

    There is a calibration mode for the ASC, first I've seen on any BMW model with ASC. The manual explains how, why, when. I have a new C650 sport and don't have an issue with the ASC, maybe the OP just needs to perform the calibration. Before I forget, I picked up a new C650 on Wednesday 7-20, so...
