Usually more than a year. It depends on a battery you are using (I recommend some Varta, GP or another good brand), also how often you are riding and how far is the key located from the bike while you are not riding (since it is a keyless)..
It happened to me once, when I was testing this scooter. Accidentally on the highway in 130 km/h. Since than I am super careful while playing with heated grips/seats. :)
I can highly recommend this mudguard from Ali. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001875143254.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.50.291018026J10m9
No drilling, no tools. Works fine. I have it already 3 seasons.
I have 2021 C400X (euro5) with 14 000 km. So far just one issue in 1000 km with vibrations in turns. Solved by my dealership https://www.bmw-scooters.com/index.php?threads/vibration-when-turning-and-resonance.2169/page-2#post-22611
Now I am about to change the tires for the firstime.
I have installed this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001875143254.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.51.21ef1802MWxIAY Works perfectly and no need to drill/glue anything..
I guess you can override the switch on the kickstand, but I highly recommend not to do it. I had once an old scooter with that tweek and it's not that hard to forgot the stand in down position. First left turn and you are on the ground.. 🙄😳
I will try the top speed next week also with a video. Nevertheless I hate to put the scooter to its limits, so I am trying not to ride above its paper maximum often. :)
Well I would suggest to use a fuel with ETBE (ethyl-tercbutyl-ether) instead of Ethanol, if there is an option. I have ridden 8000km on E10 with ETBE and so far no prob. Of course it is not enough km nor time to judge..
