I agree this is not a normal sound but unfortunately I have no suggestions, not experienced this. Since you've already put on 10K kms, perhaps it is not harmful. Or did it just start making the noise recently? Maybe change the drivebelt?

Welcome Nambru - we're here to help as much as we can. Personally I've not dealt with the noises you describe but perhaps others here have. Best of luck with your new-to-you scooter!

21000 miles = 34000 kilometers since 2018 when I bought it used with 1,960 miles on the clock. So on average 2200 miles (3600 km) per year. I use it mostly for errands and going to the gym.

You are correct, if the bike has a standard, rather than a round BMW-specific, OBD port, no cable needed - my mistake. My 2016 C650 has the rectangular, typical OBD port so with a bluetooth dongle there is indeed no cable required. But my 2013 K1600 has the BMW round OBD port, so to be able to...

It looks like the op bought a C400 ...

You can also check with the Motoscan vendor whether their app can do the calibration (my guess is yes) and then purchase the license and dongle, so you can do this yourself, as well as do everything else the app does (similar to GS911 but much less expensive).

I've never ridden on a C400 but plenty on my 2016 C650 Sport and am quite happy with its suspension and comfort level. The weight doesn't bother me in the least as its down low. Much more manageable than my K1600 GTL - everything is relative. Good luck on making your choice, "soort van luxe...

Sounds like you are following the owner's manual procedure. If so, then your engine has way too much oil in it and you need to remove some. Too much oil can damage an engine, just like too little can. I use a turkey baster / syringe to take out excess oil.

The thread is marked 'sold' so they're most likely no longer available.

Starter is right above the cylinders in the above picture. Looks like a lot of work to get to!

To get to the battery, pop off the small-ish central front cover, which provides access to a few screws to undo. More screws on the rear of the panel covering the battery. Then pop off that side cover. I believe it is covered in the owners handbook, which is downloadable from BMW'S motorrad...

I suggest checking the ECU for trouble codes, that might point to the culprit.

That's quite a change! Enjoy and maybe keep checking in on us every once in a while.

If the 12v accessory port in only 'live' when the ignition is on (I believe it is) then you can't trickle charge the battery with it. Most chargers come with a pigtail that you can attach to the battery, then plug the charger into whenever needed. So you only have to take the side cover off once.

I can't quite imagine how a below-thickness-spec rear brake disc can interfere with the functioning of the kickstand brake. I recently adjusted my kickstand brake because it was no longer holding firmly (likely due to the rear disc wearing, as is normal). Can't remember now how the adjustment...

Sorry no idea, but maybe you can go through the detailed parts diagrams to locate this screw?

Normally a beeping sound means the circuit is good (continuity). I suggest you get the Motoscan app and check for fault codes. You know you have to apply one of the brakes to get the bike to crank? (Besides the side stand being 'in')?

Hmmm, now that we know it's a spherical bearing, I would say that, so long as there is 0 up and down movement, meaning that, vertically, there is no play, and also laterally the only movement is a rotational one and not a 'side-to-side' movement, then you're probably fine.

I just tried to manipulate my rear shock, without taking off the protective cover that it looks like you had to in order to get to the top bolt/mounting point. But I tried firmly tugging at the shock, trying to get any movement at all in the unit, with 0 result. Bike on the center stand so no...
