    C400X Suspension options

    On my GT I also added the hyperpro shocks. Tremendous improvement. YSS makes emulators and springs for the front.

    C 400: Anyone Used Michelin "City Grip 2" Tires?

    One more thing. I was a Dunlop RS rider. I did not think they could be beat. I switched to Michelin Road 5s on the NC. They are far and away the best tire I’ve ever owned. Not sure if that will be the same experience with the Cities but I’m optimistic enough to try.

    C 400: Anyone Used Michelin "City Grip 2" Tires?

    Bill, I have not but will be putting them on. On the Facebook group they are adored by their riders.

    First modifications

    I own the Givi screen but don’t have it installed. It provides the best protection out of the ones I’ve tried. My set up is similar except for an AdMore light bar with decelerometer in the rear and Skene up front. No blanket either as I live in Florida.

    First modifications

    Hey Bill! Long time. Hope you are well. The Wunderlich handguards are the best performing guards I’ve ever had on a bike. I’m more concerned with dry hands, stones, etc. than with the cold. For me worth every penny.

    C 400 GT: Speedometer Accuracy Test

    That is actually a really good delta between the two. Our bikes with DCT are incredibly accurate (completely guessing, I don't know in fact why). I think that has something to do with the programmed shift points, RPM & speed calculations, and the IMU and ECU measurements that come into play to...

    K&N Air filter

    I disagree that you were corrected, Bill. When warranty coverage is in play (important to the owner), and an owner is considering modifications, they should also consider if the modification will void the warranty; because it can. In most cases it is cost prohibitive for a manufacturer to do...

    Made by Loncin - Any quality/reliability issues?

    Me too. I love this bike. I still cannot put my finger on exactly why. Maybe it just suits the point I am at in my motorcycling journey.

    Made by Loncin - Any quality/reliability issues?

    Your two posts are spot on Bill. Very thoughtful positions.

    BMW Motorrad connected app question

    I've reinstalled my app several times. The routes I have had stored have all been retained.

    K&N Air filter

    Yup. I've learned a lot about this lately. Definitive causal relationship is the primary operator in warranty denials; establishing that relationship, between the aftermarket part, additive, fluid, whatever and the failure being denied under warranty must be definitive and supported in fact...

    Hand Guards

    I installed the Wunderlich handguards. They are pricey but the best performing guards I have had on any bike I have owned. They are a few MMs away from touching the screen.

    Seat Bag

    I am looking for a seat bag that I believe I saw here in the forum. It was made by BMW and sat squarely in the middle of the passenger seat of a C400GT, though it was not made for the bike just adopted from another. Anyhow, if anyone recalls that particular bag, or where it was, or even can...

    Is seat deterioration warranted by BMW....recall or service bulletin??

    Yup. It took forever but they finally were able to replace my seat which was bunching. Everyone agreed it required replacement under warranty. A system issue with tier inventory management software caused the delays. I did, at the request of the dealer who was frustrated, contact BMW...

    Oil change questions

    No experice with that spec, but Motul is awesome. I read someplace that consensus was their engineers were the best in the world, as characterized by their peers. Cannot go wrong IMO.

    Oil change questions

    Nobody is judging you as stupid. I have an aggressive maintenance schedule too. Mine is just shy of being wasteful. I get it. My vehicles all look and run like they’re brand new and I bet yours do too. I think you got some interest on your post as there are a lot of tenured riders here and...

    Oil change questions

    If you are interested in learning about your oil and its performance, you can submit it for analysis. It will give you insights based in fact. For instance, it will identify elements which can indicate if a particular component of the engine is wearing at an unexpected rate. Also, it may...

    engine problem

    Gosh. Just catching up here. I never thought my joke would turn out to be true. If that is your primary transportation, it must be a total pain in the ass.

    Cleaning the CVT

    I do not have direct experience with the Malossi products, but there are owners over on the Facebook forum (seemingly very experienced in motorcycling) who do. The vast majority of comments there were positive. I think acceleration was improved, RPMS increased slightly, and top end was not as...
