For $99 you can get FOBO valve stem caps. I just ordered a set for an '18 Burgman 400 I bought and have used FOBO before. Great product. Not as handy as having tire pressure on the dashboard like BMW, but better than getting down on the ground to check pressure...

"Does anyone have a idea why it's doing this?" I had a rear TPMS sensor fail on my 2013 C 650 GT and the warning light never came on. The only symptom was the pressure reading disappearing, replaced by two dashes. This happened gradually and progressively. Sometimes the TPMS reading would show...

Fyi the muffler on my '16 ....

"Worked great, there's plenty of how-to info here, much of it from Delray, the King!" Aw shucks, thank you kindly. I'll defer any crown to technically-superior people, like you, Pappy, wspollack, et. al. I'm just a guy who likes to save money, do the work right and pass the info to others.

"Originally he said he needed full price to get the title from the bank." If you believe that, I own a historic bridge in Brooklyn I'd love to sell you. Not being snarky, I just can't envision any scenario where that sentence is legit. "Lost in the mail" sounds equally sketchy. From your...

"A few small breaks from life to focus on the wind and the road is all I really need to sustain a good attitude." Man, this is so true. I feel more alive riding than any other time. The act of riding (safely) demands that you stay in the moment, zeroed in on your balance and the wind and the...

"the simplest cause of a coolant leak would be to have the drain bolt loosen" I was going to suggest with a new bike, the odds are in your favor that it's a simple issue, very possibly man-made (i.e, loose bolt). Several years ago, I had the coolant changed on a Toyota 4Runner in preparation...

Similar to your C 400 GT, the engine on my C 650 GT was "designed in Germany" but manufactured by Kymco. The bike is assembled in Berlin. I suppose various components could come from God-knows-where. It's a small world, after all. Interesting to see your C 400 GT's specs. My new-to-me '18...

As always, interesting and eloquent -- and with visual aids. Sorry for your woes, especially at the beginning of riding season. Your C 400 GT seems to have been largely trouble-free. I've heard that the bike has its share of issues, attributed to 100% Kymco production. Of course, this may be...

Wait, you would choose that BMW bike ride through the Swiss Alps over a chance to meet me?! Ha, kidding of course. That trip sounds AMAZING. I'm guessing at my dates for summer, not locked in yet. Only date for sure is July 26th for a family reunion in Rochester. Might be riding to and from...

Good chance I’ll be meeting a childhood friend in Amsterdam, mid-July, will definitely let you know, if so.

Bike looks sharp. Is that matte paint? My '19 650 GT is painted matte blue and I love it because it always looks clean. Pretty much the only thing I clean on the bike is the windscreen and rims. New York State is so beautiful. I miss that countryside. Will be heading north in a month or two for...

Ha, "break" lights. Clever. Not laughing at you, but I've read about that and seen pics of the devastation on the CE-04 Facebook page. Terrible design! Good overall insights on the bike, thank you. Another big concern I have: the BMW sales person told me battery life was around five years, and...

From your experience, is the range on the CE-04 also optimistic? I believe BMW says 80 miles but I've read lots of accounts from owners who say it's lower. I've seen ranges from the mid-40's to 60's. I'm very interested in this bike. Sat on one at a BMW dealer and it has nice heft and gravitas...

Managed to post a photo of the old parts at 13,800 miles (if an Admin fixed the pic-posting issue, thank you). Definitely could have kept riding with these. After finding them in good condition, I still put in the new parts because, a) it's good for the bike and, b) The PITA factor, meaning as...

I kept getting the "Oops" message and tried pdf, jpeg and had the file size down to 328kb.

Always a good feeling to update the maintenance on your bike. In my case, I spent yesterday installing a new Mitsuboshi CVT belt with Dr. Pulley sliding weights. Also changed the oil and filter and put in a new air filter. This is for a 2019 C 650 GT at 13,800 miles. While I had the case open...

Good review, thanks. I've been interested but hesitant about getting a Corbin for my 2019 C 650 GT. They're expensive, especially with a backrest, but I'm sold on Corbin quality and comfort after having four on various Burgman 650's and Honda Silver Wings. I've been especially intrigued with a...
