Thanks for the info. I will put a float charger through the receptacle until my next service in the spring when I will install or have the dealer install a pigtail.
My Silverstone bag currently resides on the passenger seat and must be removed to gain access to the trunk. That is why I will soon get a luggage rack.
I use the First Gear Silverstone bag. The only issue is that it takes the place of the leggy lady that would sit in its place. I am considering a luggage rack either BMW or Givi to allow entrance into trunk with the bag in place and let me take the lady if I can find one.

Yep same for me. 6'4" 34-35 inseam. The C650GT was designed for me and my bad knees and hip. It was embarrassing at the dealer when I got on the 1200 and needed a box to get down. I'm 72 race sailboats and am very active. This bike with its front mounting is perfect for me as I relive my college...
Mine smells too when I pull it into the garage. It smells hot and I suspect it is from the cat which is very hot. It goes away quickly. I'm not worried.
Good point. Do not buy any bulb with a blue tint. Check data on candlepowerinc@com for a lot of info and specs on lights. At 55 watts there is a trade off as to lumens versus life. I will buy the best bulb I can afford and from a reputable company rather than Ebay.

Thanks for the info. I will need service in the spring.
The tensioner recall makes me wonder if the dealers are getting the parts on spec or are receiving only the parts for the bikes they have sold.
Two questions: What pressure do you run and what is the payload weight you carry
Have you ever had the tire rebalanced before the cupping. Probably too late now.

I have followed his advice through Corvettes and Subaru STi cars. I am happy so far with the stock bulbs but will follow his advice re replacements. Bottom line is avoid blue tinted...
Looks like a great buy at that price. Very clean. Tell me please about the headlights.
What was the source and is the lighting better than stock?

My situation is strange as I had the dealer check their database for open recalls for my C650GT. My production date was 09/2012 which puts it into the recall. I called BMW and they didn't have the scoot listed to me so I was able to update their info. My scooter was bought used from a company...
I wish I could. I'm 72 and just can't raise my leg over the back. When I bought the bike I went to the dealer for a BMW with a boxer motor and climbed the pegs. The problem was that I couldn't get off without a box. I'm 6"4" and 230 lbs of mostly muscle but one bad hip.
I can get my foot over...
