    De Rated Power Question

    I'd be very careful about verifying this, or spending non-refundable money on it, or making sure that the conditions are spelled clearly regarding the conditions of a refund, and so forth. 1) How will you tell if the bike is no longer derated? I mean, just because a software version changes, to...

    2025 TPMS

    REPORT: CALL WITH BRIEN MEHLER, RE TPMS: This is the email I sent to Brien Mehler (the GM at European Cycle Sports, Plano, TX -- see https://www.europeancyclesports.com/learn-more-about-our--xstaff) on July 20 (the day @MeSeaHunt wrote his post #7, above)...

    I wrote Kymco about the AK 575 Premium availability in the US about 8 months ago

    I liked the Vision, but waited for the XCT, primarily because it had larger saddlebags and a larger top case: https://billanddot.com/victory-xct/ I bought that in early 2012, just as they came out. In 2017, I sold it to "Vinish," a moderator (or at least a major presence on both of the Vic...

    I wrote Kymco about the AK 575 Premium availability in the US about 8 months ago

    Well, it's all relative: - The AK 550 has about 1.5 times the HP of the C 400, and (as @mgg pointed out) a lot more features. It's more in the class of the now-defunct BMW 600/650 scooters (or the now-defunct Burgman 650, and I had two of those), i.e., the maxi-scooters, as opposed to the, um...

    Brake light

    I own a C 400 GT, not a CE-04, but I read all the posts on the forum here, and if I did own a CE-04 I'm pretty sure I'd buy what this guy sells: https://www.bmw-scooters.com/threads/taillight-protector.3246/ (This, along with other protectors, is mentioned in some other CE-04 threads, but that...

    Brake light

    Is that the same as the turn signal? If so, you can find a lot of sources by doing a web search for, say: BMW part number 63 23 7 924 982 That's the part number shown on the parts fiche, for instance, at MAX BMW's parts page for the CE-06...

    PIAA OTO Style Horn

    First of all, nice work! For you and anyone else interested in this sort of thing -- any high-output, high-current, horn -- I installed Stebel Nautilus compact air horns (http://www.stebel.biz/public/stebel.pdf) on three different bikes (two Burgman 650s and a Victory Cross Country Tour). The...

    You talking about the new BMW case on the 2025 model?

    Fitting 2025 C 400 GT Handguards on a 2024 Model – Perfect Fit with Minor Windshield Contact

    Yeppers, it kind of looks that way. I'm not thrilled with having a cord run right next to a moving handlebar cover, but maybe we're wrong. But I can't figure out another way, at the moment, aside from the way I added a USB port to the top of the dash (see my phone-holding pic at...

    Fitting 2025 C 400 GT Handguards on a 2024 Model – Perfect Fit with Minor Windshield Contact

    @PeterP : What @Rugerbear is asking above (and I can sort of speak for him, because we've had some private conversations about this topic) is: could you provide some details, regarding how and where you did the routing of the power cord from the Carpuride? Specifically, in that first post...

    Thanks -- I just sent an email to Brien.

    2025 TPMS

    I’d like to call them myself, and then maybe have the service manager at Max in Troy call them. I got the impression that the latter doesn’t know about this option.

    What dealership is that?

    2025 TPMS

    As far as I know, the answer is neither. 1) On the official product page, https://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/en/models/urban_mobility/c400gt/, I don't see any mention of TPMS (nor was it mentioned on that page in years past, for earlier models. And I haven't read anywhere about a change in this...

    2024 OR 2025 Model???

    Yeah, go figure, re the oil, etc. In years past, I used to always have a dealer do the first service, just to have it completely documented (no photos, personal logs, etc., needed) and to get in their good graces (for possible future warranty claims, for good will, whatever). And then do my own...

    2024 OR 2025 Model???

    Here are my two receipts, for my two (my former '22 and my current '23 C 400 GT) break-in services. They were both performed at Max BMW in Troy, NY; Max is a large dealership, with that location in NY, one in NH, and two in CT. (That $181 on the first one is a credit I had at the shop.)

    2024 OR 2025 Model???

    What was the ABS upgrade? Is it lean-sensitive now? And what does DTC stand for?
