- Tire profile the same (as opposed to just the same specs)? - Are the shocks length-adjustable (hey, some aftermarket ones are), and, if so, could they have been messed with by the shop? - Do the shocks have alternative mounting holes? - Does the center stand have alternative mounting holes...

Hey, you never know. Can you imagine, 50 people a day, walking in, singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant, and walking out? They'd think it's movement ... Er, um, I mean, maybe we'll get lucky, and they'll get around to it before we all have other powered-two-wheelers. I like to be optimistic, so...

I'm sure there are other web sites to do this, but I'm familiar with my local dealership's site. Looking at the parts fiche at MAX BMW (a large, four-location, dealership in northeastern USA) -- https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/partsfiche.aspx -- returns this list: Hovering over the "C650GT 12"...

UPDATE, OCT. 1, 2025: SENSORS INSTALLED, EVERYTHING WORKING, NO CONTROL UNIT Okay, the RDC sensors arrived from Germany a couple of weeks ago, and when they did Max BMW contacted me, to schedule the installation. That installation was this afternoon, and it went fine (other than costing me a...

A good explanation, including which way to tap a fuse:

Here's a short ride I took yesterday on the C 400 GT: And here's a brief chunk of the ride, in the lower right of the map, i.e., going north from Stockbridge, MA (1440p, 8 min.):

Yep, I'm with @korinthias (and @Delray), i.e., good to see some testing, real numbers, etc. It's the sort of thing I've done with speedometer-checking on the C 400 GT and Meteor 350. In terms of this distance discrepancy on the CE-04, I'm a bit surprised. For what it's worth -- which I don't...

On both my former (‘22) and current (‘23) C 400 GTs it takes a whack at the back when I want to lock it. Sitting/riding only sometimes locks it, sometimes not.

Went for a ride yesterday, south of Albany (on the east side of the Hudson River), on my C 400 GT: Here are two chunks of that ride, down in the loop area. Going east in Columbia County (1440p, 15 min.): Riding from the Taconic State Park (NY) area to the Bash Bish Falls State Park (MA)...

I'm very sorry to hear about that, both for your troubles and because I own a '23 C 400 GT (with currently 8,000+ miles -- c. 13,000 kms). I don't recall reading about anyone else having a problem with the crank position sensor (or any sensor, for that matter) on a C 400, and now you have had...

Yeah, I've seen some T-shirts, referencing Deals Gap/Tail of the Dragon's 318 turns in 11 miles, that say, "Florida: 11 turns in 318 miles." Here are some greater leans -- two years ago, on a rental C 400 X (just cosmetic differences vis-a-vis a C 400 GT):

After a weeklong out-of-town vacation, I went for a ride on the C 400 GT today, north to the Adirondack Park region: Here's a chunk near the top of that (clockwise) loop (1440p, 23 min.): In another three or four weeks, the leaves should all be turning, at which point I'll have to return...

UPDATE, SEPT. 9, 2025: CHECKED AGAIN WITH PHAD, WROTE TO GERMANY, VISITED DEALERSHIP, LONG TALK WITH PARTS MANAGER, SENSORS ORDERED Executive summary of the previously most recent background (see post #48, above): the long-time Parts Manager ("PM") at my local dealership (Max BMW, Troy, NY)...

No video link. And what year and model do you have?

Earlier this year, I had occasion to reattach a broken tab on my C 400 GT (despite having removed and installed its bodywork several times, and many times on two Burgman 650 scooters). I considered myself almost an expert on tupperware, but stuff happens, I guess. In any event, I successfully...

If you want to see highway speeds of a C 400, check out the speed graphs I posted: https://www.bmw-scooters.com/threads/2025-models-in-the-usa-and-maybe-a-slight-rant.3340/#post-28352 You’ll get a little more bike movement than you would on heavier tourers from truck buffeting, but nothing...

I went to college for two years in Poughkeepsie. These days, if I’m heading south on that side of the Hudson, Rhinebeck is often where I have lunch, and then head back north.

UPDATE, AUG. 28, 2025: I NEED A PLAN B, OR MAYBE A PLAN C, OR MAYBE ... ==> For those waiting with bated breath for what I said would be my upcoming report in a couple of weeks: you can breathe normally now. It's not going to happen, at least not at that time. I thought I'd reply to my own...

Whoa, that's quite a move ... pretty much antipodal, about as far away as you can get! If you want to reminisce, I have a bunch of "highlight-reel" videos of riding in NY (and MA, VT, and CT) in my https://billanddot.com/C400GT/ gallery (and in my Meteor 350 gallery...

As @Ceesie76 pointed out, I would try eBay. I mean, the sellers there actually have the part (or it would be fraud, and you'd be backed by eBay's various guarantees). I looked up your part on the parts fiche at MAX BMW (a fairly larger multi-store dealership in northeastern USA)...
