    Bullet brake!

    Every once in a while -- maybe once a year, maybe once every other year -- I wind up in a situation that seems to require parking a scooter on an incline (as opposed to, say, parking it far away, maybe out of sight of a restaurant window, etc.). For those situations, a parking brake on a...

    Bullet brake!

    Thanks very much for that detailed explanation. (And for the discount code, should anyone else pursue this mod.) What you said about the center stand makes sense -- I hadn't thought of that, vis-a-vis the front wheel's brake -- but I don't think I've ever used the center stand when...

    Bullet brake!

    Interesting concept. I had never heard of them, but found them easily enough. For those interested: - Web site: https://www.bulletbrake.com/ - YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@bulletbrake/videos Some questions for you: 1) Did you buy, as the web site claims for all BMWs, the BB-01...

    2023 BMW CE-04 Dead Mint - Extras - 1000 Miles

    Sounds like a good deal for someone in the region interested in a CE-04. (I think you meant "skuffs.") I got a new hip five years ago (when I was 72), and it's the best hip I've ever hand. Good luck with your new knees.

    Skene Lights Installation on the BMW CE-04

    I'm obviously not @triangletom, but I have some thoughts for you, based on my experience. I put Skene's Photon Boosters (those are LED modules only, no controller) on the front of my C 400 GT and on the front of my Royal Enfield Meteor 350. And I put Skene's P3-TS (LED modules plus controller)...

    BMW Color designation for 2019 Blue C650GT Scooter

    A couple of suggestions for you: 1) Using this Google search, the sometimes-reliable AI computer thingy has this to say: 2) There are some free sites that give you information about your bike, based on your VIN. Entering the VIN (for my '23 C 400 GT) at either of these sites, I wanted to...

    2025 MY Windscreen Options

    I own a '23 C 400 GT, with a Wunderlich Marathon screen mounted. As I mentioned in this other post about C 400 windscreens for the '25 models -- https://www.bmw-scooters.com/threads/2025-windshield.3508/post-30649 -- I like the Marathon. The Marathon for the '25 model --...

    Just Saying Hello, Again

    Hey, no worries, no apology necessary. ... especially since you've had all that drama in your life lately. And sorry about your family's losses. Me, being retired (and only owning two bikes and one car), no such drama here. OTOH, I've had hospital stays of eight and three days this year, but...

    2025 windshield

    Just to be clear, I don't have a '25 C 400 GT, but I had a Wunderlich Marathon windscreen on my '22 C 400 GT, and moved that over to my current '23 when that replaced my '22. The '25 version of the Marathon looks pretty close to the one I have, which is why I'm commenting here. So, FWIW (if...

    C400X Battery Replacement and Service Question

    Ah, sorry I misunderstood part of your questions. Regarding the updating devices, you might want to use the Search function atop most pages, maybe entering "motoscan" "gs-911" or something like that. There are definitely forum members who have experience with such devices, have some suggestions...

    C400X Battery Replacement and Service Question

    My experiences, '22 and '23 C 400 GT ... AMAZON: My experience with Amazon and batteries involved a battery for my riding lawnmower. The issue was that it wouldn't ship battery fluid needed to pour in the battery I had just purchased from Amazon, because the fluid was hazardous material. I...

    Replacing rear fairing side panel

    Excellent. They’re usually not in there very tight, and often break when they’re removed, because of prying them up and/or because of old age. That’s why a spare set of them is handy.

    Replacing rear fairing side panel

    I don't have a 650, but if you're talking about the plastic screws that go in a little plastic expanding sleeve, I mean something like these ... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FV5ZJL3 ... then you just sort of loosen the (typically Phillips head or JIS) screw, and try to lift up the sleeve, by...

    CE 04 Predicted Range vs. Odometer

    D'oh! I just did some reading in the Owner's Manual -- yeah, I know, about time: 1) So I went out to the garage to the parked bike (done for the season), followed the steps on page 66, and turned off the self-cancelling feature. Now my scooter and Meteor 350 will function the same...

    CE 04 Predicted Range vs. Odometer

    Thanks for the info. I vaguely recall some discussions on the Victory forums about this. If I remember correctly, the algorithm on Vics involved distance, time, AND speed -- very complicated. What you're telling me makes sense, because I seem to recall being annoyed with the C 400 GT's turning...
