Two things really: 1) Unable to get the oil filter off. Can't seem to get a strap-type wrench on it with enough leverage to turn it. Also have a metal loop wrench with the same issue. Bottom of the engine is in the way, and I have not removed any left side plastic. Even went and bought a socket...

Mine turns out to be a T-50, six sided thing a ma-gig! But I found one that worked and was able to get it loose.

The bottom drain bolt is not an 8mm hex, at least not on my 2020. It is six sided, so I presume a larger T-45 that I currently have. Mine just spins. Need to go find one on a Sunday at HD (Home Depot not Harley Davidson!) or a local auto place. Dang. Also not sure how much torque the last guy...

Too bad the store did not share any security video showing that. I would be really pissed...

Je suis surpris que le coût soit le même en France qu'ici au Texas. Nous avons vécu à Chatou, près de Paris, pendant 18 mois il y a de nombreuses années et la plupart des choses étaient plus chères. Sauf bien sûr, le vin et le fromage !

Broke down and just stopped at the local BMW dealer (who wanted $335 for an oil change) and paid my $4.32 for the tiny little ring of metal. the parts guy was close to telling me he could not find the right one since I did not have my VIN with me. He relented.

Yes, I have dutifully searched and read a few dozen posts about oil changes and found the very informative WebBikeWorld article on doing an oil change for the C650GT. In all the articles and posts there are many mentions or oil type, brands of filters, use of a screwdriver, etc. But nowhere...

While I realize this is an old thread, did *anyone* ever provide pics or more info on what all is needed to install a GPS, BMW or otherwise?

Oddly only two of those push in clips needed to be removed for me to get the lower panel off. The top one stayed in. And of course, after all the knuckle busting fun, I discovered the BMW specific horn connector rather than the spade connection. Not knowing where to splice and not having...

I have seen those but at $159 vs 12 bucks for the cramp buster, hard choice!

Just bought one today!

Thanks, I did not look in the box. And I was pretty sure the front one was necessary, considering it was on an edge facing directly into the wind. Good advice though, thanks.

Trying to get the side panel off to get to my horn location for a change and am already stumped. Took 3 little hex screws out (or are they torx?) and the panel pulls away after a slight lift but there seems to be a solid plastic piece about halfway down that is attached to something... cannot...

Merci mon ami ! C'est probablement la même chose ici aux États-Unis, où l'on hésite à rouler très loin. Mais je suis membre de longue date de l'Iron Butt Association, rouler sur de longues distances est (parfois) amusant !

Thanks! Used them before and plan on trying one for this bike too. Cycle Gear near me has them.

Had to make it a little smaller to upload.

Long time motorcycle rider, first time poster! After a recent long trip up to South Dakota and Wyoming in our RV, pulling a Kendon trailer and a Yamaha FJR1300A last month, we decided it might be time to look for something a little lighter weight. It is increasingly challenging to get the FJR...

Hmm, image failed to upload.
