Haha, love it! I was headed for my 7th. Still tempted but loving the BMW electric experience. Yes, got the Zelle, thanks. Will ship tomorrow morning and text ETA and tracking #.

UPDATE: SOLD. After a low-speed accident eight weeks ago, my touring days are done (but not my riding days). This Nelson-Rigg Route 1 Tour/Traveler bag holds a HUGE amount of stuff. I used it three times to visit upstate New York for a month then ride back to south Florida. Photos don't show...

My $.02 after owning six C 650 GT's .... 1. Color-matched BMW OEM top case is the best-looking and works with the same key as the ignition. Although if you buy a case separately a BMW dealer will have to give you a tumbler for the top case to match the original key. Next best is SHAD cases. 2...

Affirmative, thanks. Also received your shipping info. I will send tomorrow morning and text you arrival date and tracking #. Mike

$100 + $30 shipping = $130 total. I'll DM my personal contact info for Zelle. I generally ship the same day, or the following morning. Thanks! Mike

I can say two things with certainty. 1. The backrest makes mounting the bike (for a passenger) much easier. It provides leverage and a focal point for balance while you're boarding and getting off. The wide, flat passenger footboards (not footpegs) are a huge plus for mounting and dismounting...

You might be right. I was in touch with the seller when the listing was new. I remember she took a long time to respond, for what that's worth. Perhaps one of those people who use Facebook very sparingly. The price was high when I was inquiring. I think I was instrumental in bringing the price...

Facebook Marketplace in Cleveland has a '20 GT in Light White with matching top case. 4,000 miles and $6,500. I was searching for a '20 white GT for awhile ... until my heart was hijacked by a gorgeous white electric CE 04. Here's a link if you have Facebook...

UPDATE: SOLD FOR SALE: Utopia backrest for BMW C 650 GT. $100 + $30 shipping. Originally $289 plus $18 leather cover. You won't find a better price on a Utopia backest. Quality-built in like-new condition. Adjusts for height and angle. Clean, stylish design elevates the GT's look. Installs in...

To close the loop, I just had a trouble-free "uncoupling" experience with this simple procedure: 1. Unplug from household socket. 2. Turn on the bike. I heard the "thunk" of the charger lock release ... 3. Unplug the charger. It's that easy. I'm guessing I ran into my original issue of the...

Good point. I likely had the bike turned on when I unplugged, which may have screamed "power loss" to the bike. I'll unplug with the bike off, then turn it on and see if it releases. Pretty sure that's been my routine at home. Simply haven't done this enough times to be sure of my sequence (had...

Prior to turning on the bike and releasing the charging cable, the manual says, "end the charging process at the charging station BEFORE (emphasis mine) detaching the charging cable." However, these are instructions specifically for charging at a charging station. The manual does not give a...

PRO TIP if your charger stays locked on the bike after charging: Press and hold the arrow on the BMW key fob. That should release it. Found that tip on the Facebook CE 04 page and it worked. Just sharing here. Here's the story .... Charged my CE 04 overnight at my house. When it was finished...

As you described, the oil was black. But I found no metal shavings. It's probably good that you changed yours early. I'd rather do that than keep it too long.

Such are the mysteries of the German motorcycling mind. I don't know your answer. But if you follow BMW's chain rail guidelines, which is a new rail every 15,000 miles to maintain proper tension, you can't swap out the rails without draining the oil. So it's kind of built-in that chain oil will...

The latter, as in gee whiz.

Correct on the first part, 24k miles. The service manual says drop the exhaust manifold to access the drain plug, but a poster on this forum had a workaround. I copied it and pasted it below. Photo shows drain and fill plugs. Neither is easy to access. FORUM WORKAROUND, WITH MY NOTES: GEAR...

That's chain oil, not gear/final drive.

SH39 looks like it was designed for the bike. It also provides a protective buffer for the delicate tail lights, which apparently can snap off if you look at them sideways. That happened to the previous owner who replaced one to the tune of $184 USD. Found a handy tip on this forum that I...
