    Aux fuel setup

    Funny, on my 2013 GT I can watch the bars go up as I am fueling.

    Clip broke some how?

    The clip usually gets broken because whoever is removing the panel does not know that front screw exists. When I bought my replacement (first one stolen and trashed by tweakers trying to find the engine kill switch) the front clip was broken. I did not know this and was why I lost it on the...

    Clip broke some how?

    If the front clip is broken a strong gust of wind at hiway speeds can come up from underneath and blow the panel out from the inside. This happened to me on a very gusty day doing 75mph on the expressway on my way to work one morning. I was running late as usual so did not look for it until...

    $1300 for 12k service - 2016 C650GT

    The cost is not set in stone. It’s that much if you do everything. See the checklist above. Originally it would have said “remove and replace” for a lot of the items. It is now “inspect and service if needed”. While some of the items require more experience and tools than the average rider has a...

    Respray

    The color is vermillion. Last offered in 2013. Make sure all of the recalls have been done and inspect the two ‘idle actuator hoses’. These tend to crack with age and lead to stalling at low speed.

    Stalling When Decelerating or Coming to a Stop

    They are the “idle actuator hoses”. I had the same problem and the shop could not figure out the cause until I read about another member of the forum who had the same problem. The hoses are cheap, but unfortunately the labor is not but it should resolve the problem.

    Replacing CVT air filters

    I had that same problem with my 2013. Shop had it on computer all one Saturday morning and could not find any cause(it was showing stalling). Did not charge me since they could not figure it out. Two months later on this forum another member was relating his experience with the same problem but...

    Side Stand Failure

    A couple of months ago I put the sidestand down on my 2013 C650Gt.when the bike tilted about 10 degrees more than it should. Straightening it back upright I discovered that the sidestand was loose. I immediately rode over to my dealership. They found that of the three bolts, one was missing, one...

    Lowering seat height

    Lowering seat height

    I think Piagio (Vespa parent) makes a 500cc mp3. When the C650Gt came out there were a lot of husbands that brought their wives in because they wanted to ride along and not sit behind their husbands. They usually left without one because of the height. Does anyone know if the C400 is aborted?

    Need help finding side luggage rack

    Not too bad if the minimum is only 100 units. Maybe someone can organize a sign up list to see if they can get that many people interested.

    Need help finding side luggage rack

    It was also sold as the Kappa KL5106, also about of production. Keep watching this forum and maybe you’ll get lucky like I did last summer. Don’t worry if you find racks without cases, Givi has many cases that will fit.

    brand new C400X - stalls

    Check earlier threads regarding stalling on650gts. Another rider had two vacuum lines going to an idle sensor replaced. Turns out it was the same problem on my 3013 GT. Two small hoses were $26.00. Hadtowait for them to come from Germany. Hoses were cheap but labor to get to them was not.

    C400 GT front brake lever travel

    Is the lever mushy or does it just get too close to the handlebar? You should be able to adjust the angle of the lever with the dial on the lever if it is just getting too close.
