Since the pelvic support (aka "hump") on my seat doesn't seem to agree with my height, I think I'll have it upholstered and will likely remove the hump entirely in the process. Can anyone who has the seat without the hump tell me if you think that's something you miss? I wouldn't say it provides...

Pretty much like Haribo ;-)

I have the TR55 now on a Wunderlich luggage rack. Definitively not as wide as the mirrors and fits helmet, gloves, jacket and back protector easily.

Sounds good, thanks! I'll probably get one, too, then I won't have to mess with the large stand I have for the GS. Apparently, at least with the Pirellis, the front tire goes much earlier than the rear.

Yes, yes and yes. I had to remove a small fairing on the right side (just one T25 screw and two clips that just pop out) to be able to install the screw on that side. I also had an extra taller bushing and that lonely washer, no idea why. I initially thought that there was a part missing, but...

Just in case that's still relevant, I just installed my center stand, but I couldn't find instructions online, either. It's pretty easy, the only hard part is the installation of the springs. I used the coin trick for that, you put one end of the spring in a vise, bend it so you can insert...

Looks like I was smart when I bought the 22mm for the GS. The one I have is a multi-bit hex, with four different sizes in one, 19 among them.

Reviving this thread as it looks like I'll have to park my CE04 in the (Mississippi) sun during the day, so I'll likely run into this as well. Has anyone tried using a seat cover to prevent this? This one doesn't look too bad and may even provide some more comfort and cooling...

That might or might not work, depending on the geometry of the bike and the height of the center stand. You'll likely need to lift the front at least 3-4" so that the forks relax and the tire actually comes off the ground. By then, as you're tilting the bike backwards, the rear tire might...

That's certainly a possibility, especially as the stand is shorter than on a regular motorbike and therefore probably less forward movement is needed to have it jump off the stand. On my GS you really need to push the bike forward 4-5" before it comes off the stand. I'll see. But do report how...

I have a front lift for my GS, I'll try to use that to remove the front wheel in conjunction with the center stand. But if that doesn't work out, I suppose the scissor lift is probably not a bad option. Especially if you place an OSB board or similar between the lift and the bike to spread out...

I think you have the "short" comfort seat. Looks exactly like mine.

I'm new to this whole electric vehicle stuff, I admit, but I'm trying hard not to do an extra stop and having to kill time just for charging ;-) But L2 chargers are not that plentiful around here, mostly at hotels and some car dealerships. But yes, half an hour @240V/30A would get me half a...

I can go up to AFAIK 30A, but again, the BMW charger will only deliver 10 max. I'll see if the 12A charger I have incoming will do the advertised 12. But it's clear that the CE04 was made for use in Europe, with 240V mains the 10A charge twice as fast as over here with 120V. Meaning the...

I'd probably chain it to a light pole. If someone really wants your bike, they'll get it. That's what insurance is for.

That is not surprising. I suppose you can't even set the amperage on the bike higher than 10A (not sure if the software is smart enough for that, though)?

That's because it's not in there. Which is really disappointing. They have other technical data in there, but all of that is pretty useless (unless I really need to know the brake disc diameter, but what would I need that for?). The manual for my 1250GS is much better, torques are in there for...

I have the quick charger and I have set the bike to charge at 12A. Still charges with only 10A from the BMW charger. I'll see what the aftermarket one I have incoming does (or try a public Level 2, which should be able to go up to 240V/30A).

It seems the "backrest seat II" is only available via dealers in Europe. Hmm, I wonder what the tariffs will make of that. Can anyone confirm that this seat has the heater? Should be part #52538552187 (#5 on the picture for the black/grey version).

Just curious if someone from the US can confirm: I currently use the stock charger on a 120V outlet, and it seems that is capped at 10A, resulting in a 1.2kW charge. I mean, that's enough to get it back to full overnight, I was just wondering since most aftermarket single-phase 120V chargers...
