When you say “crankshaft broken” do you mean that a bearing failed , or that the engine seized due to a lack of lubrication (oil dilution by excessive fuel)

Were the parts sent BMW for examination?

Are you in the USA?

How much did BMW quote you to repair the engine and which new parts would they have to replace

Something is missing here in this narrative

Throttle,
A couple months ago my 2019 c650gt throttle started not settling down to an idle at stop signs/lights. Sometimes a little fast on 2 bars but started creeping into three bars on the rpm’s. This is causing the clutch to engage enough that if I don’t hold a brake the bike will try to creep into the intersection. Got it into the dealership the start of February and tech finally worked through his schedule to

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this on their bike. About two weeks ago I started noticing that the clutch was not completely disengaging at stop lights. If I let off the brakes and not moving the throttle the bike wants to slowly pull forward. A quick rev of the throttle and it usually lets go and sits still. I will be talking to my shop guru tomorrow to see if he has heard anything.

Trying to find out if the 2017 version of the service manual will cover my 2019 C650Gt. Need to find out how to remove handlebar cover without breaking any tabs.

Where in Norcal are you? I'm near Yosemite in Coarsegold and all there is to ride with around here is SLOW, old fat farts dressed like pirates on Hardleys....

Last month an asshole on a pickup ran a red light. I slammed on the brakes in time for him to not hit me but I hit his rear tire and flipped bike out from under me. Almost stopped so bruises only but he took off when I got up. Tupperware wasn’t too bad but forks bent from the twisting impact. $10,000.00+ repair estimate on a 2013 GT. Ins will total it. Have not decided about replacing it.

Waiting on insurance to tell me if they are going to total my 2013 GT. Guy ran red light. I braked enough he did not hit me, I hit him. Front wheel hit his rear wheel. Forks are twisted and Tupperware damage on right side.

Set both the compression and rebound to the center positions as starting point.

Put a zap strap onto the shaft. Move it down by the shock. Use as a reference.

Go for a ride to see how it feels. If too soft, adjust the rebound setting by turning the dial in.

If you’re bottoming out adjust the compression setting.

Keep in mind it’ll take a few rides to have it all set up.

Hopefully this will link and alert you with an email, LOL. Do you still have your GT goodies?

Tomas, sorry to bother you, but it is hard to find tall C650GT owners. I am 6’3” tall and just put a deposit on a GT without ever sitting on one. How does the scooter fit you overall? How do you like the tall Aeroflow windscreen? Thank you if you are able to respond,

Akkis,

Back in 2015 you posted a message about your scooter that just happened to me. You wrote:

"Weird thing though, I came to my bike today and it seemed the on-board computer reset. I lost all my trip meter mileage, my MPG went to zero, avg speed went to zero. Also at first it marked that the temperature was 270 degrees and the black ice thing was flashing. I drove around parked it and the temperature is fine now, problem now is the power windshield doesnt work anymore. Everything else works, heated grips seat, hazard lights, etc."

Exactly what happened to you just happened to me. My question to you is, how did you fix the problem? Did the dealer have to reflash the bike? Did they charge you? Any information you can share with me I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you,

Depecheboy
