    How to start CE 04 without the key fob (lost or damaged fob)

    Thank you very much, Delray and PedalMike, for sharing your experiences and solutions for key fob foul-ups. Thank you, too, Tido Felder, for posting that page from the manual, which shows the 'X-Ray' image of the antenna. I have had a good strategy for keeping my key fob on me, but I have...

    Wow! You have a fantastic view; a great backdrop for a great bike. I hope you have many years of enjoyment riding it.

    CE-04 Tire thread: longevity, range, replacements

    Like you, @Fullum, I purchased Michelin Pilot 4 tires recently. Even though my rear tire could have been ridden on for a few more months, I decided to replace it at the same time as my front tire, which was at the end of its life. I chose these Michelin tires because of their wet condition...

    Very unique decals/wrap; I like it. Did you design and print these yourself, or did you find a company to do it for you? If you created this, bravo to you for the time and effort.

    Rear Suspension preload adjustment

    This is great to hear. Additional leverage was an excellent idea, and the lubricant you applied must also have helped. Congratulations! Maybe now that you have broken the rings free, future adjustments could be easier.

    Billie brake light installed

    This is a smart idea. These additional lights look like they create some very beneficial extra light at the back.

    Rear Suspension preload adjustment

    Tip #1 - wear some type of work gloves to prevent bloody knuckles! One slip of the wrench could result in some lost skin. The 'upper' ring, which is in contact with the spring is locked in place by the lower spring - the lock ring. It all works with tension and friction. You may have attempted...

    Comfort Turn Signal

    Even though I would definitely enjoy having this feature work reliably and consistently, and I hope that the issue is fixed soon as discussed here, I am content with manual operation of my turn signals. I was actually pleasantly surprised that my bike had working turn signals, and I am...

    Condensation in the front optics / headlights

    Bom Dia/Boa Tarde! Welcome to the forum. That lens cover is not sealed, so air is able to move in and out of that space. I have found that when temperatures are warm during the day, accompanied by some humidity, this condensation forms when evening temperatures cool down significantly. Humid...

    Long-term review of the BMW CE 04 (The Suit & Tie Rocket Ship)

    Well met, XMET! It is definitely unfortunate that your first CE04 had so many problems. Your perseverance is very commendable, though. It is great to hear that BMW properly resolved the issue by taking the scooter back, and also that you bought a new one. I hope you recover quickly from your...

    Handlebar locking

    I found that if my handlebar is turned fully to the left (typical parking position), the lock will not engage. So, when I stop to park, I turn the handlebar fully to the left, but then pull it back to the right a few centimeters/couple of inches, and the lock engages every time in that position...

    Even though the light is not highlighting your bike quite enough, it is still a very nice photo; the location is fantastic. Your power era contrast is nice.

    Long-Distance Touring on a BMW Scooter – Is It Feasible?

    Your motivation, determination, and stamina will be key factors. Preparation of different levels will make or break your trip. If you just want to meander and explore, have your bike services and tires checked before departing. If you want to travel beyond the current lifespan of your tires...

    That blue is such a fantastic colour for the CE04 - very nice. If I had not found such a good deal on my dark gray bike, I would have ordered one in blue. It shows well in good sunlight; I hope you had this clear riding weather throughout the day, and not just when you took the photos.
