SYNOPSIS: The key fob to my '22 CE 04 was destroyed -- with my wallet and cell phone locked in the glove box. I learned how to power the bike on and ride it without the OEM key fob (you need the small plastic spare/emergency key that came with the bike). STORY: I ride my CE 04 to a golf...

Question for experienced CE 04 owners .... Bought a '22 CE 04 on August 9th with 4,900 miles. It's been in South Florida since new and was used to commute to work, 11 miles each way on I-95. It was then plugged in a wall charger overnight and always charged to 100%. BMW says the CE 04's range...

PRO TIP if your charger stays locked on the bike after charging: Press and hold the arrow on the BMW key fob. That should release it. Found that tip on the Facebook CE 04 page and it worked. Just sharing here. Here's the story .... Charged my CE 04 overnight at my house. When it was finished...

I've had my '22 CE 04 for a week and a day and still feel like it's the best Christmas present ever. What an amazing machine. One thing puzzles me. I have yet to make a map appear on my screen. Is this even possible? Closest I've come is the plain screen showing direction I'm moving in and...

With the key on, and the engine not running, is the Check Engine light normally on? I'm looking at a pristine 2013 and one of the photos from the ad shows the Check Engine symbol lit, south of the fuel gauge. Seller says that's normal with the key on and the engine not running. But if that's...

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS NOT MY BIKE. PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ABOUT IT. This is the beautiful GT I was planning on buying this year. I'd agreed with the owner if it was available in the Spring, I'd buy it for $7,500. As noted in another thread, I had a fantastic deal on another GT literally walk up...

Sometimes the bike finds you .... I've been riding a Burgman 400 since last summer when I bought a pretty white one in Buffalo, New York and rode it home to South Florida. Great bike, tons of fun with a big, solid ride and 73 mpg in the mountains of Pennsylvania! For the last few months, I've...

I'm thinking of buying my 6th C 650 GT from a seller in Alabama. This is a gorgeous, black 2017 with just over 3,000 miles. Seems a tad pricey at $7,800 (I bought a 2019 in South Carolina last year for $7,000), but I don't know how firm the price is. Does anyone know if 2017 models have the...

Always a good feeling to update the maintenance on your bike. In my case, I spent yesterday installing a new Mitsuboshi CVT belt with Dr. Pulley sliding weights. Also changed the oil and filter and put in a new air filter. This is for a 2019 C 650 GT at 13,800 miles. While I had the case open...

In an Eastern European language but visually it's helpful to see what's happening: gear oil, belt change, remove rear tire, etc.

My 2019 C 650 GT is at 12,600 miles so I'm getting ready to change the belt, probably at 15k. I'm planning on Dr. Pulley sliders and insert pieces. I wasn't sure whether the insert pieces were SP-AH or SP-AE, so I emailed Dr. Pulley -- I mentioned I was planning on installing their 28-gram...
