That is very helpful to know and why I enjoy and appreciate these forums. Thanks!

Skene up front (on every bike I've owned in the past 10 years). That is the Admore Pro out back; it's in front of the license plate, also too low and I want to move it above the plate (it has a license plate light) I did have Skene tail llghts on my Xmax and intended to put them on this bike...

Challenge accepted. I contemplated using YSS’ kit. Still leaning toward race tech managing the rebuild for me. It’s on the list. After that, I’m sending the seat out to Seth Laam and I’m done.

Good Segway into the front fork. It is absolutely over damped; inarguably. Seems like it might be under sprung too. That is hard to tell with how much damping restriction there is. Interesting enough, seems to be very little stiction! I would imagine valving and proper springs should...

Yup. Rebound compression damping is adjustable.

The red arrow is the preload adjuster. I have not messed with it yet, but I do believe it has detents indicating number of turns. The yellow arrow is the preload compression damping adjuster, clockwise to increase, counter to decrease. You may be able to order them with a remote preload...

Possibly!

Bill, if you are ever down this way you beforehand, stop on by and take it for a ride. It's sprung for my weight, but you can take that into consideration.

My understanding is this. Up until 21, the light was in the tub. 22 onward they installed the light in the seat. I posted it on Facebook too and it turns out I am not alone. Something is fishy in Denmark! One person said they marketed the 22 onward with improved under-seat illumination...

I have not even adjusted the sag, which means my rebound compression damping is also not dialed in, and the ride is so much more comfortable. In re-reading my post, it seems like I am exaggerating the outcome here. For me, and based on my experiences, this upgrade has made the biggest...

I installed the Hyperpro shocks today. Installation was breeze. The Shop Manual suggests using an offset screwdriver to grip each of the top bolts. I do not have a T50 offset screwdriver, or a lift, so I removed the storage compartment. No question for me it was the right way to go. It took me...

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. @Fedeskiff I would get a competent mechanic to check it out, but that is my perspective. Bill is very experienced and knowledgeable and could be spot on. But, both of us are guys on the internet who could be totally full of crap.

Unlikely that an unbalanced tire would produce that wobble.

@wspollack you may be correct. However, comparing two of the same generation bikes with the same issue does not indicate the bikes are performing as designed or intended. TO the contrary it could indicate a manufacturing run on steering head bearings that were out of spec, undetected, and...

Hi Fede. That sure as heck looks like either a worn or loose steering head bearing, which would be unusual, but not out of the question, for that low of mileage. If you have ever heard of the "tank slapper", the steering head bearing is typically the cause of that issue, which can be very...

Pleasure. And trust me, with all of your contributions I am just simply returning a favor. When I lived in Canada the top speed of tis bike would get me locked up (tongue in cheek)! OPP were very nice but definitely enforcers. But I'm a retired cop so that curried some favor.

So here is an interesting set of circumstances. I have owned my C400GT for a little while. For the most part it is trouble free. I had an issue with the seat material puckering, pictures were sent to BMW and a replacement under warranty was approved. My BMW dealer received the replacement seat...

I called the dealer today and they are a little concerned too. Pull no...Cutch engaged, very likely, which is of course concerning. Actually, I have a little vibration that I thought felt like a clutch spring. Perhaps related? I'm guessing at this point...and hearing of the other idle speed...

There is a little more to be concerned with with elevated RPMs and no modification to the clutch. The clutch engages at RPMs higher than ~1500. The higher idle speed could produce premature clutch wear, and possibly influence other premature system failures. I think this is a glitch in the...
