    My First Complaint About the CE-04

    First, how can you track your scooter with the BMW app? There is nothing built into the bike that would allow a self-initiated connection to a cell network or satellite. I don't see anything in the app that allows for such a capability. Second, AirTags are a terrible solution. They have three...

    High Windscreen

    The BMW windscreen is 15" tall, Puig is nearly 22", and Wunderlich is 23.5" As for Shad, i refuse to buy their products until they get rid of the monster size SHAD on their products. I hate that they make it look like I'm riding a SHAD bike instead of a BMW. I don't pay to advertise their damn...

    High Windscreen

    I purchased the BMW high windscreen for this scooter, but am not really happy with it. It's not high enough to accomplish what I want. I would probably look at the Puig or Wunderlich windscreens.

    BMW Recall on Certain CE-04s

    No, I had to pay for the install of the alarm - $650. I don't know why it comes standard in other parts of the world, but they feel those of us in the USA don't want to protect our investment from thieves. Seems like a really stupid decision. Obviously, installing things after-the-fact costs a...

    600 Mile Service

    My total cost was almost identical to yours - $266, which was $80 for transmission fluid, $175 for labor and the rest in tax.

    600 Mile Service

    I just had my 600 mile service. $80 just for the transmission fluid! How ridiculous is that? Then, of course, there was the labor, which was supposed to include belt tension adjustment, but not even the shop foreman could figure out how to use the torque wrench with the app they have to download...

    Skene Lights Installation on the BMW CE-04

    You should buy a Harley, since you like working on bikes so much. :)

    What are you using for security?

    In addition to the DWA alarm that I had installed, I also use a Monimoto 7, which also works very well. I'm a bit overly security conscious, and so I have both items.

    DWA Alarm Available for CE-04

    Yes, I did. The dealer charged me a couple hundred dollars to install it, which included not only the physical alarm itself but the activation of the alarm menu access on the navigation console, as well as enabling the fob button for the alarm. So, I paid a total of $650. Works very well and LOUD.

    What's the advantage/usefullness of connecting helmet with Cardo to bike?

    I had comm systems in two of my previous helmets, but found I never used them. So, with my latest Shoei, I just decided to not put one in. Don't miss it at all.

    Let me pour some euro goodness on ya

    Beautiful! The scooter isn't bad either. Sorry, couldn't resist that bit of humor.

    Broken Tail Light

    Amazing. Just like a horse. Break one leg and you have to put it down because its circulatory system no longer works.

    German Optimism

    Any idea what top speed is if I don't wear speedos? 😂

    CE-04 Killer?

    I just visited this site and watched their video: Horwin SK3 Gotta say, without having actually ridden one, it seems impressive. Although it has a lower top speed, it has better range (with extended battery option), more accessible storage, a nearly equally large dashboard. At 1/2 to 1/3 of the...

    Mounting GIVI Top Case on CE-04

    Yeah, along those lines.

    Perfect Tire Inflator

    I bought two of these. They're really compact and easy to use. Easily carried on the CE-04. Fanttik X8

    Mounting GIVI Top Case on CE-04

    I wish there was an option for a tailbag that fit tucked in above the rear fender and the back of the seat - kind of out of the way and not so "in your face".

    Wunderlich Side Case

    I'll take a look. So far, Wunderlich has not gotten back to me in weeks on that item.

    Wunderlich Side Case

    I finally found a side case that won't clash with the aesthetics of the CE-04, and seems to blend in without distracting the eye. Unfortunately, they don't sell them out of Wunderlich America. But, they told me they could order one from their European counterpart for me. Wunderlich Business Bag
