Looking forward. My backrest will be here Monday.

Ha, I did read that post a while back and then I guess forgot. Thanks.

Does the seat need to be removed for the install?

The above process did not work for me because it left the remaining backrest too hard against my lower arthritic back. I took out too much padding because I did not know there was a protruding piece of hard plastic projecting off the back cover of the backrest making sort of a club pattern...

I sort of got a funny look on my face when I first started the bike, like what is going on in there? Not a like something was wrong just not very BMW sounding. Seems to have settled down after 300 miles and now has a great sound.

Congratulation. I have been the impressed with how well it tracks and the power it has off the line. Have fun.

Mine Optimate4 came today so everything is back on track. So much help and information on these forums.

The 1" cut was noticeable but not good enough. I had an additional 1 1/4" cut making the total cut for the back point 2 1/4". All of it on the top. The guy did the touch up for free even though the 1st time he did what I asked. He said he could not go further and it was easy to understand...

Thank You. Missed in the Owners manual twice on page 153 it specifically reads to only use the power socket in the right hand storage compartment for charging the battery. Although on the 25 it is on the outside underneath the right storage compartment. I sold my Optimate 4 to the new owner...

It is hot. I tested with a adapter from my Grand America I was able to find. That is a good point about it might be the dealer. Definitely not going to shove a battery tender into it until I can confirm. Will make life easier.

It is located under the right side storage. Inside the Storage on the Left is the USB C power plug, and a second in the trunk. But I am confused by this one since there is no mention in the manual. I have ordered a USB C 30W PD3.0 Fast Charger Din to USB, Hella Plug USB Adapter, 18W QC3.0...

I was surprised to see this. I have read the manual but went back and double checked. It is shown in one picture but not identified. I am hoping someone has more information. The K1600s have these and they were great for keeping the bike charged or having extra USB outlets.

If it keeps acting up I would be leaning toward a defective Optimate3. They are a premium brand that specialize in compatibility. I did buy a backup battery just to have in the house so if it acts up again I can run comparison tests.

Yes, I do like the X seat better. And the overall looks. Not available US. I also had the 650 Burgman and just removed the butt bumper and was perfect. On the GT (2025 at least) the butt Bumper is covering a high solid bar under the seat which will break your spine on a bad bump. I did...

The one adjustment I had to make almost immediately is to trim the back support piece held by three screws under the seat. I have lower back arthritis and it was hitting it dead on. I took it to an upholstery person who has worked on another seat for me and he shaved about 1" off the top. It...

Right. Bike and trunk auto lock when walking away. I guess it is like leaving your car lights on or something.

So I have this figured out. I did indeed drain the battery by leaving the key next to the bike. Having had a GTL and a Grand America prior to this scooter, and being on forums for years, I have not come across this, although I understand it is logical. But I would at least expect it to take...

Yes.
