Thanks. All Fortnine stuff is insightful.

Thanks. I agree it should’ve been free. And believe me I tried. Just chalking it up to how poor my experience has been with BMW dealers so far. My first BMW. Can’t imagine if I had spent $25K on a GS. Net net I’m glad it’s up to date and don’t have a real reason to go back for a while. And I’ll...

Software update Thanks for the follow up. Tagging @Tron too. I went to my selling dealer yesterday for my software update appointment. It's a 2023 I bought used from them in June of this year with 400 miles on it. The paperwork says it has factory warranty through May of 2028. This dealer is 2...

Thank you!

Thanks. Much appreciated. I have an appointment on August 20th at the dealer I purchased the bike used from (2 hours away). My local Milwaukee dealer is 100% useless.

Good to hear. Is it possible to take a pic of your screen under the "software version" screen? I'm trying to convince my dealer that more updated versions exist beyond my number 13 shown here. They haven't been as helpful as you'd hope. Thanks.

Thanks. Makes sense. I have used a Canyon Dancer style but was very careful to not interfere with magic wheel and switchgear. Your approach is better.

Did you take any photos of the bike properly tied down for reference? Thanks.

Thanks for the comments. Update. I did order a new fairing cover and extra clips. Could’ve tried to see if they’d warranty it but I bought used with 400 miles and don’t know what previous owner/dealer may have done. Knowing a new one is coming, I decided to try a temporary fix on my cover with...

I’ve been following discussions on a noticeable front end rattle over bumps on my 2023 CE04. It’s been hard to isolate while riding. There’s been mention a few times that one or both of the two mounting tabs may be broken or these upper clips missing. I pulled my front fairing off last night and...

Thanks!

Just got my 2023. 408 miles.

Recently bought my 2023 CE-04 with 408 miles on it (USA). At 6’3”, I wanted to get as much seating room as possible without sitting on the hump. My bike has the heated Comfort “Front” seat stock (p/n ending 552 176). I consider the flat bench style seat, but wanted the extra padding and heating...

I took it out today around the city. Interestingly the battery charge went down from 95% to 85% in a 7.1 mile trip. But the mileage range went up from 55 miles when I started to 60 miles when I finished. So definitely driving style and regen makes a difference. Hear you on the brake fluid.

Thanks Tron...great stuff. Appreciate your quick replies and knowledge. Yes please take a look at your software version. Will be interesting to compare.

Thanks again Tron. Makes sense. I finally have the chance to ride locally so I'll see if that alters the max range. I asked on a CE04 Facebook page about what's the newest version of software. One person posted theirs that appears newer than mine. He commented that when updated the max range...

Thanks. On initial charging attempts the "arrow" offered no other options. After trying a new outlet and revised set up process is did get the options to scroll up and down to adjust Amps. I set and 10A as a test and it worked well.

What’s interesting is while it’s flashing blue (charging), the MENU button preview screen doesn’t display the estimated time to complete or have the “electron flow” animation. But it is charging. Also, any idea why the “max miles” range below would indicate only 58mi for fully charged?

This is the screen I get if I want to change charge settings. 6A is the only available charge option. I have not tried a public fast charger in the wild. Not my home 110V.

Thanks Tron. Great insight. I’m going to retry today at a different wall outlet. I also was charging on the center stand vs the side stand, but not sure that would make a difference. What’s odd is the charger “check” on initial connection shows good and it starts charging. Only to stop at about...
