    Waiting on insurance to tell me if they are going to total my 2013 GT. Guy ran red light. I braked enough he did not hit me, I hit him. Front wheel hit his rear wheel. Forks are twisted and Tupperware damage on right side.

    2016 c650 sport

    Must provide proof of ownership for dealer to provide to Germany for BMW to code new key. You can mechanically copy key notches but without coded chip it will not start.

    Windscreen spoiler

    I purchased one of the Calsci windshields after my second stock one had the middle lamination look like shattered glass. It’s taller than stock and while there is some wind buffeting it does alright. I’m 6’ even.

    Anyone have the Crash / Trim bar + Auxiliary Headlights?

    I have the Cyclops h7s in my c650gt and there is a vast improvement on stock.

    C 400 GT: RAM Ball Added to Handlebar; Parking Brake Not Added

    Are the 400s different from the 650s? When I put the side stand on my 650 GT it engages the rear brake.

    Permanent side stand extender

    Definitely check the mounting bolts. While it does normally lean on the side stand I was running errands and put the side stand down at one stop and the bike leaned much more than usual. I straightened the bike back up and was able to wiggle the stand a lot. Immediately rode to the dealership...

    Whats the actual recommend octane?

    The owners manual on my 2013 650gt says 89 octane and living in Oklahoma I can get no ethanol at a lot of stations. Not so in Texas.

    The Low Five Wave ....

    Ironically, I as a white man am eligible to join a majority black mc. Having served in the 9th Cav Regiment at Fort Hood I can apply to join The Buffalo Soldiers mc. I do not plan on doing so because I feel it would be presumptuous on my part.I don’t see many black riders around Tulsa but I do...

    Tupperware Tip for Maintenance (also, check those CVT filters and kickstands!)

    I’m surprised that you haven’t added a larger base to your sidestand. I got tired of mine sinking into the asphalt at my work parking lot. Since it was a metal fab shop I made my own.

    Tupperware Tip for Maintenance (also, check those CVT filters and kickstands!)

    I forgot to say that now every time I put the side stand down I try to wiggle it with my foot before I lean the bike down to it.

    Tupperware Tip for Maintenance (also, check those CVT filters and kickstands!)

    Last fall I was running errands when I stopped at a store. When I put the side stand down and leaned the bike down onto the bike tipped over about 10 degrees more than usual. I straightened it back up and looked down at the side stand. I touched it with my foot and it wiggled. I put it back up...

    It is the Viper Vps-450. Unfortunately it is 3G so I will shortly need to switch to something else as 3G is going away.

    After my second one was stolen (both from my house) I got the factory alarm and a gps tracking unit installed. It notifies me every time it moves and can show location. Unless they have a key they will not be able to Hotwire it (chip in the key).

    Thinking of buying a used C650GT, anything I need to know upfront ?

    They should be able to tell you which one they installed.

    Fuel question

    Not sure how it translates, here in the states we have 89, 91, and 93 octane. My owners manual recommends the mid grade 91 octane.

    How to Attach a Battery Tender Cable

    I did not have any issues with batteries until my gps tracking unit was installed incorrectly so that it stayed hot all the time. BT Jr was not enough, had to get full sized one. Got a different brand installed and it would ‘go to sleep’ until movement was detected. Don’t have to use float...

    When you push the start button.

    Napa carries the battery. Most auto parts stores should also.

    2022 C400GT Shad top case install, help requested

    Is the shad mount for the 400 that much different from the 650gt. Mine only uses the hand rail bolts and the central rear bolt and does not get anywhere near the front of the seat.
