    Shad top case size??

    I have a C 400 GT, not a CE-04, but for what it's worth -- if it's worth anything at all -- I added a Shad 59X to my scoot, and have been extremely pleased with it. 1) I'm with @pedalmike. My feeling is that you can never be too rich, too good-looking, or have too much room in a top case (which...

    Wireless charging mount installation on the handlebar with power.

    Glad things worked out well for you. You able to post some pics of your final setup?

    Shad top case size??

    Is that a hard G (as in goat) or a soft G (as in gist)?

    C 400 GT: North & West of Albany, NY, Yesterday

    Yesterday's goofing-off ride, i.e., no particular destination in mind (counter-clockwise): And a chunk of that ride -- the upper-left portion of the map (1440p, 17 minutes):

    2025 TPMS

    Oh, I hear ya. I'll make my request, in hopes that I get a tech doing this who has a thirst for knowledge, takes pride in his work and job skills, etc. Maybe I'll get lucky.

    2025 TPMS

    I will ask, when I get the installation done in a few weeks (see my post #21 in this thread, for anyone just jumping into this thread), whether the TFT firmware can be updated, in general, when the change is made to add, unlock, or whatever needs to be done to the firmware in order to show the...

    2025 TPMS

    Ah, thanks for the education. Our sole car is an '18 Macan S, by the way, 104,000+ miles on it currently. My wife and I pay for the dealer to do everything, and I have a set of 18" snows and 19" A/S tires.

    Folks, let's take a breath here. Some notes: 1) ChatGPT: ChatGPT just summarizes info it finds on the 'net. It is sometimes useful, but NOT what I'd call a critical resource. - Note that it has apparently scanned some of the posts on this very forum, and yet we still don't have a definitive...

    2025 TPMS

    1) Oh, I don't blame you for wanting to wait. I think most folks should save the tire-removal/mounting labor costs, i.e., wait for a tire change that already encompasses that work. Me, see "Moby-Dick," above. 2) Could you tell us a bit more, regarding how you found out that your '24 C 400 GT is...

    Sure. In fact, two of them, I suppose. When I first got my first C 400 GT ('22), I bought a new pair of FOBO sensors. (Incidentally, I have always purchased these -- first and now second generation -- DIRECTLY from FOBO in Malaysia. If you find them on, say, Amazon, well, I don't trust Amazon...

    2025 TPMS

    August 13, 2025: APPROVED BY MAX BMW FOR RETROFIT I spent about an hour and a half at MAX BMW in Troy, NY, late this afternoon, reading a book, while after a bit my scooter was wheeled into the shop area and put on a lift (I peeked back there, but didn't attempt to hang out there). The bottom...

    Post your CE 04 pics

    You just couldn’t help yourself?! Don’t try to ride that to NY.

    2025 TPMS

    POSSIBLE PROGRESS: If you look at post #15 here, you can read the email that I sent to the service manager of my local dealership, MAX BMW's Troy, NY, location. To be fair to everyone, I sent that last Wednesday evening. So, since the dealership is closed on Sundays and Mondays, that gave them...

    East & South Of Albany This Week On The C 400 GT

    Earlier today, a short ride north: Great Sacandaga Lake and the foothills of the Adirondacks, on the C 400 GT scooter Route: First video, a back road approaching the lake (1440p, 10 min.): Second video, some back roads shortly after turning back south (1440p, 11 min.):

    I wrote Kymco about the AK 575 Premium availability in the US about 8 months ago

    I did a demo ride of the T-Max at Americade one year. I'm guessing, oh, maybe 2010. I felt it was a great ride, a bit sportier than the Burgman 650 (and I think I owned my first one of those at the time), a little less touring-oriented. (As an aside, just to report on how some folks are like...

    I wrote Kymco about the AK 575 Premium availability in the US about 8 months ago

    Nice report. I hear you, re getting yet another bike without, say, cruise and TPMS. I have the same opinion, e.g., why bother? Regarding the weight, I bet you're right: it's a center of gravity thing. Kymco's stating that "AK 550 has the lowest center of gravity in its class" is a bit...

    East & South Of Albany This Week On The C 400 GT

    I went for three rides this week (it was nice weather, and I was still trying to make up for having lost June as a result of a medical setback, and July was busy with family activities). Monday, NY to MA to VT to NY: Route (counter-clockwise): Some small back roads in NY (7 min., 1440p)...

    If he just didn't get back to me, I will show him a copy of my email -- to refresh his memory -- and ask him to consider the situation right now.

    Thanks for the wish, and sorry about your former hassle. You been reading the thread about derated power on the CE-04: https://www.bmw-scooters.com/threads/de-rated-power-question.3353/ ? Sounds like the same sort of bullshit you encountered with the ConnectedRide cradle, i.e., no one can get a...
