Thanks. I dislike most Facebook offers, but I do use it as a utility. The C400 forum over there has over 6K members. About anything that can be done to this bike has been done by a member over there. And actually, it is a pretty nice group of people.

There were a few references to a lambda emulator improving performance with no mention of a brand. I know nothing about them but clearly by their name they are some type of fuel/air management device.

This is pretty much what I could glean from reading the posts. I hope it helps. There was no disagreement on the forum on the outcomes of installing a Malossi kit. Fuel consumption increases Acceleration is meaningfully improved Top end speed potential is reduced Transmisson of power is...

Phad Motorrad is apparently the mover and shaker in tuning BMWs. He does it remotely via the internet from what I understand. Changing the air intake, exhaust, and the Phad Motorrad upgrade, the bike will do 105 MPH/170 KmPH. You would think I was asking to throw a virgin in a volcano or...

I could not agree with this statement more! Conversations evolve. I never understood, honestly never, why so many contributors on forums get their ire up over "off topic." I love to learn and welcome it all!

I can ask on Facebook’s C400 forum if you like.

I'll try. I could not locate the post on FB. I asked the question about performance mods on your behalf. I found this on the web but just a blind search. https://www.mod-files.com/tuning-file-v2/motos/bmw/c/2000-0/-/400-gt-x/34hp

I believe @byee had some improvement with his exhaust project. There are chip mods that quite a few on the Facebook forum have applied and report more than a 10% increase in horsepower.

It was loaded at the 600 mile service as a required, and very lengthly, update. Yes, to the best of my recollection it was right at 1400 RPM. I think we are RVP9 year round here, just different summer blends year round. Miami and the Keys are different. I’m going off memory and could be...

Yup. I get it completely.

I’m running 060

Hmm. Thought I was nuts. Mine is running high too after the update, similar to you but 16 -1800 RPM.

That is really unfortunate. Not that my opinion matters, and I don't know all of the facts, but it sure seems like you are not being treated fairly. It's good to hear that you are at least getting some advocacy to help you resolve this. This scenario used to be commonplace here in the USA...

I agree that the C400GT is capable and suitable for some on longer tours. The annual Scooter Cannonball supports that fact as many much smaller and less capable bikes complete it every year...many bikes fail (become bricked actually) every year too. It just would not be the right choice for...

I have to say that I am seriously considering selling my NC750X and going to the C650GT. The more I ride the C400GT the more I enjoy the scooter form factor. I keep going back and forth. I want to do two more long trips before I am 60 (56 now) from SW Florida to northern Ontario, Canada...

Tough pill to swallow for sure. I went out and looked at my 23 GT. Not that this makes it any better, that is just a terrible design for the center stand mount. Not seeing the pictures, I'd have to believe that repair of the existing damage would be difficult.

I honestly have never heard of any MC tire lasting that long. That is awesome! I've never had Michelin scooter tires but have them on one of my full frame motorcycles now. Pretty impressive but I am sure the compunds are different across their product lines, so not apples to apples.

Have you tried other brands/models of tires between these and the stock Pirellis? If so, did the performance of the other brands influence your decision to install the Pirellis this go around?

Hi. The additional key is not a fob but rather a plastic tab with an RFID chip, paired to your bike, embedded to allow starting the bike if your traditional key fob should fail (e.g., battery on the fob dies, lost). that device can be placed just above your fuel tank, where the plastic cover...

I have not been able to install the shocks yet. Hoped to get it done this weekend but now we have unexpected, but welcome, company.
