    Thank You, Forum Members

    I don't know too many other riders. I've mainly been commuting with my scoot (Oak Park to Loop). However, my co-worker also has a silver BMW C600. I have the Matte Blue c600. I know of another guy working downtown with a c650. I see a ton of Vespas and Stellas in the Loop though. I also...

    Thank You, Forum Members

    Welcome! Glad to see another BMW Scoot in Chicago. Hope to see you on the road in a few weeks!

    Surging

    My c600 started doing the same thing. I haven't figured out what it is because as soon as I noticed it, we got 3 feet of snow on the ground so no way to get it to dealer to check it out. When mine is on the center stand, at low throttle it seems like it wants to cut out. At some points, I can...

    Great Pictures of "HOW TO" for changing variator, from Spanish BMW Forum..

    Thanks. I joined the forum. It looks pretty easy. Is that clutch holder tool readily available? I changed the rollers on my Vespa and it was fairly easy for a non-mechanically inclined noob such as myself. I was going to switch out to some Dr. Pulleys, but wasn't sure if I'd be able to...

    Denali D2D LED Install on a C650GT

    Thanks. Looks like what I'm looking for. Hopefully, installation isn't too hard.

    Clean Tail Tidy for C600...

    Carbon fiber one. Pricey though... A few other nice parts. http://shop.ilmberger-carbon.de/carbonparts-motorcycles/bmw-motorcycles/bmw-c-600-sport/6665/kennzeichentraeger-carbon-bmw-c-600-sport?c=4793

    Slipstream deflector

    Can't remember where, but I recall reading on some message board that they weren't that effective. I've considered trying them out as well though.

    Denali D2D LED Install on a C650GT

    Thanks for posting. I've been looking for a more effective lighting option. I've seen a few HID kits on ebay for the c600, but they look foreign made and I can't tell how easy they are to install. I installed a nice HID and LED kit from scooterwest on my Vespa that was fairly easy to do at...

    Mirrors

    Yeah, I like the integrated turn signals. I was hoping they'd be a direct fit. Really disappointed with the slow introduction of aftermarket stuff for the c600. A few items here and there, but not a lot to choose from.

    Paint job suggestion

    I've been thinking of getting a custom wrap for my c600. Not really sure where to get them though.

    I want to ride

    The snow won't stop here in Chicago. Supposed to have wind chills of -35 degrees tonight. WTF? I figure at least another two months before I get back out on the scoot. Snow and ice have been on the ground pretty much since mid-November. I'm beyond depressed. I spend all night watching...

    say NO to the TOP BOX!

    I'm not a top box fan. I think it messes up the lines. However, I do like the Givi saddle bag option in the picture and have been considering purchasing them for more storage. My co-worker bought the top case for his Silver c600. You know what they say about opinions... I do want a better...

    Mirrors

    Has anyone ever determined if you can fit c650 mirrors on the c600? What about TMax mirrors?

    Protection for Cold/Wet Weather Riding!

    Some folks swear by them. I might try one out. I bought some over pants that are really warm, but those look like they could be a little more convenient since I wouldn't have to stash my over pants.

    Motorcycle.com's Maxi Scooter comparison

    Do the turn signals self-cancel on the BMW? I didn't see anything about them cancelling in my c600 manual? Is that just a 650 feature? I've always been too busy riding and cognizant that my signal is on so I turn it off to notice if they cancel or not.

    Spring 4-Passes Tour of the Sierras!

    I was in Carmel, CA for vacation over the holidays and took Highway 1 down from SF to Big Sur. All I got to say is I hate you west coasters. Seriously, we got nothing like that here in the midwest. All I could do was look at the numerous bikes I saw enjoying the ride. Only saving grace was...

    Exhaust Mod?

    I've been eyeing a GPR or Termignoni for my c600 (along with Dr. pulley sliders). I've been hesitant to do any mods though as I don't want any mods to void my warranty given the antecdoctal reliability problems some have been reporting. Although I can't see how a slip on exhaust or sliders...

    EWS! Error

    It was the battery. I got my new lithium battery and it cranked right up with no issue. The start was way stronger than with the stock battery. The EWS error went away.

    More C600 windscreen choices than just GIVI...

    I meant I have a tall Ermax screen for my c600.

    More C600 windscreen choices than just GIVI...

    I've got the aeromax tall for my c600. I like it as it helps with buffering since I'm 6 foot tall. However the only thing I don't like about it is that it is dark tinted (not see thru) on the bottom half of the screen and I feel like the tint blocks some of my view of the road if i look...
