That Chigee screen looks better than the bike's original one. Can you just delete that BMW screen? Much cleaner look also. Wonder why BMW doesn't just offer the functionality that Chigee does so owners don't have to go through all this. In the K1600 community there's also no end to similar...

Hmmm ... this 'Motoport' place in San Diego seems to have 'borrowed' their logo from a Dutch motorcycle accessories chain. It's not too far from where I live (I mean here in Southern California. I used to live close to one of the Dutch motoport stores):

Not here but that quote sounds incredibly high - perhaps just very time consuming to change it out? The motor itself can't be all that expensive, if it is maybe source a used one off a low mileage parts bike. You could try doing the job yourself or take it to an independent shop for a second...

Great it worked! I still use the same method as well..

I just wear appropriately sized jacket and pants over my regular clothes, works fine. You don't have a bathroom at work you could change in? Yes a top case should accomodate at least the jacket and pants. For the helmet you could use a helmet lock.

Nice rides!

Yes I am aware. But I have also been/lived in many a Western European city where the number of motorcycles/scooters is such that it does create congestion/hazard for vehicles using designated (bus/taxi) lanes such as in Madrid, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Geneva. So I am not surprised by your city...

I've not seen these as a downloadable link. You may have to do what I did, which is to buy one off Ebay for a small amount (like $25).

Did the seller tell you anything about its condition? Sounds like no and you picked it up as a non-runner. Since you have both spark and fuel misting from the injector, it would seem that the ECU is functioning. Although that spark plug looks very dry in the photo? Then the three remaining...

If you've ever been to Hanoi, Vietnam, you know that motorcycles can cause MAJOR congestion:

I decided to play it safe and get the BMW blocking tool that is referenced in the shop manual. Not expensive, especially when compared to catastrophic engine damage. You set the engine at a certain timing point, the blocking tool screws into a specific slot, and Bob's your uncle (remove old...

Maybe now a good time to purchase the app and related bluetooth dongle (OBDLink 427201 LX Bluetooth ScanTool) ... I hope (and it does sound like) it's something simple.

Not had or heard of this issue. If it were my bike I would connect my motoscan app and look for fault codes. Perhaps one of the switches, likely the sidestand one, has failed or the fuel pump died. Do you hear the typical 'whirring/buzz' when you first turn the ignition key on?

Hmm - my post only makes sense if you have two calipers, which I don't think the CE-04 has?

Was the front tire mounted properly? They are uni-directional most of the time, meaning an arrow has to point in the direction of travel. But some tire shops don't realize that a motocycle wheel can be 'spaced' differently left and right side. To put another way, a couple of months ago I had new...

Just an example of a C650 with low miles at a seemingly good price, for sale on Craiglist here in LA

Respectfully disagreeing with Mr Bill here. I've ridden various types of bikes, ranging from Honda CB and Husqvarna and Husaberg supermotos, to my current BMW K1600 and C650 Sport, and Honda 300 cc scooter. I absolutely love the C650, it is by far my favorite of all bikes so far. For me the...

Thanks for your write-up, I expect no more cooling issues in the foreseeable future on your C650! My other BMW is a K1600 and they are also notorious for overheating due to the radiator becoming clogged with debris, that in order to remove requires removal of the entire radiator, because of how...

From this thread, common causes are: - dirty radiator 》remove and clean (the outside) - thermostat faulty, not opening properly 》check and replace if needed - blown fan fuse 》check and replace if needed - fuse good but fan kaput 》replace fan, then verify it comes on when engine idles when temps...

for example https://www.mcmaster.com/products/din-6888-machine-keys/ 25 keys for maybe $20. This is in the US where metric is just a bit less common than in Europe, should be easy to find where you are.
