Worth mentioning the Motoscan app is Android only. There are other apps out there for iOS, but hard to ascertain whether they have the same functionality…

@Rootctrl and @mgg What is the verdict on the OBDLink LX. Did it work out, or not?

My CE 04 is ready for its first ‘standard scope’ service in my ownership, and the only significant requirement beyond safety checks and lubricating various levers, and as it is 24 months since the last service, is “change brake fluid, entire system”. Basically this means pumping fresh Dot 4...

Rider’s Manual has some stuff about secure transportation:

My bike came with the OEM tall screen, and the Puig is indeed a couple of inches taller. Works well for me. I bought it mainly because with these bikes streamlining apparently has a significant effect on range, but I also appreciate the reduced wind pressure on upper body. With the bars being...

Another vote for the Puig screen, and for the same reasons as @Tron

Yes, but the size of the mirror surface is still relevant to readability by the human eye. A water droplet, for example, is acutely convex, but with a mirror that size would you be able to see what’s going on? Convex rear view mirrors have a long and honourable history on vehicles, nothing new...

I have a set of Shin Yo Circula mirrors on my ‘04. They are round and very practical, giving a great rear view. I guess I am guilty of some fairly narrow thinking in that respect… To me, they also continue the solid/round theme established by the funky disc wheels...

Some will recognise this place immediately…

Correct. I must just have gotten used to sitting on the hump…

Point taken. I think whichever way, these seats are not designed for long distance touring…:unsure: But when the weather turns I do appreciate the heat :rolleyes:

Interesting to hear. I bought my 04 a couple of years ago and beforehand I tried a demo bike with #4. I found I was sitting on the hump, which was not desirable. When my bike came up for sale the dealer assured me that it had #5, Comfort Seat Long, and when I rode it I convinced myself that it...

I’m only 5’10” and still needed the ‘Backrest’ Seat 2. Maybe I have very long arms or something :)

Believe the hump on seat 2 is 2½ /60mm further back, though where I obtained this info from, not quite sure… Edit – here it is: https://support.bmw-motorrad.com/s/article/CE-04-Differences-between-the-seats-CWMft?language=en_GB

Here’s my UK bike: Daytime running lights – along bottom of the ‘glass’. On as soon as you hit the power: Low (dipped) beam – top outer lights, both sides, plus the running lights: Main (high) beam – all of the above plus lower middle lights: Not the best pics, but hopefully serve to...

Does sound weird, normally the pads ride just above the surface of the disc, not 1-4mm away. The pistons should push the pads out equally on both sides and so the pads should automatically centre themselves. When was the brake fluid last flushed? According to the service schedule in the...

Here’s what Google told me: “Electric Vehicles (EVs) commonly experience braking issues not from excessive wear, but from underuse caused by regenerative braking, which uses the electric motor to slow the car rather than conventional friction brakes. Because these mechanical brakes are rarely...

The name "CE 04" is composed as follows: "C" = stands for scooter and is a sign of a highly innovative and very unusual vehicle concept. "E" = stands for the electric drive. "04" = indicates the power segment that is comparable to a 400-cc combustion engine in terms of power and performance...

Excellent. Looks like the factory did it themselves! I also find the riding position a bit too upright, which makes the seat even more challenging. Unfortunately I wouldn’t have the tools to create the replacement parts. Maybe @Jojo you should consider producing a conversion kit…?

Copper anti-seize would definitely be a good choice. The grease component will carbonise over time, but the colloidal copper will remain as a sealant and also act as a lubricant to aid disassembly in the future. It is said that nickel based lubricants will withstand higher temperatures, but...
