Hi, Well, last Friday I too the bike to the ground where I learnt on a Duke to see if I could do the slalom etc. This bike is much harder to drive! When I took...
Hi Malcolm I managed a similar drop while doing a 180 degree turn when I was new to the C1, fortunately on the same side that had already had a door opened...
Hi Gwyn, Thanks for the reply. Do you think you could give a pointer to the description on how to refit the bumpers? It looks like the polystyrene broke as it...
Hi Malcolm, I broke mine, and the red plastic cover a few weeks ago. I just went and bought new bits, £25 (est.)for the black bumper, and £55 for the panel. ...
Malcolm's got a good point, and it took me 15 minutes to find the bit about the high rear brake lights recently. Does anybody know how to set up references, or...
Hi Malcolm, That German site was the one I'd seen as well. Messages 708 and 711 on this site are the ones that detail other possible repairs. I managed to find...
I exchanged my "other" bike (R1100RT) for the C1, so I've now got two scooters & a 'minibike', because I simply wasn't using the big'un for rides out; 12-mile...
My suggestion is that, if you have to take the basic test-thingy...CBT?...do it on an ordinary scooter...the C1 is simply not designed or weighted to go round...

Hi Malcom, I fixed mine as per message 708 on this site but if yours was squashed by the impact it may not work. The C1 is very top heavy and feels like it...
For my test the instructor persuaded the examiner to allow me to make the U turn on a wider road, normally used for bigger bikes. I couldn't reliably turn the ...
When I were a kid, many year ago... Many of the sports race-rep 125cc bikes, had very limited lock and couldn't actually fit between the cones either!! Evan ...
Dropped the bike off for it's 4500mile service today. I knew I was getting a F650 as a loan bike and so wore full motorcycle garb which included a full-face...
I was looking for suspension info on the C1 and found the article. The shocks are made by Monroe by the way. I assumed it was right, but there a couple of...
Day 2, the service continues.... They said the drive belt they recvd was damaged!!!! Another day on the F650. The ABS activates very early, I ride aggressively...
Recvd this off the BMW Club Forum. Scary seeing I live on the border of Northants!!! To: Northants Police Mail Room Subject: Getting flashed !! Hi Could...
Hi all I'm currently a scooter rider of about 25 miles per day and I'm considering a C1 200 for a longer commute involving some motorway. What is the furthest...
Hi Taking delivery of my silver C1 125 on July 13. After 21 years of not riding a 2 wheel vehicle (!), I decided to take the plunge with the C1 as I am...
Welcome Seng Clothing for the C1: Despite the roof, you will still get wet to some extent, so waterproof jacket & trousers are needed. Should you be ...
I should have said that I calibrated my speedo on the way to Goodwood, not on the circuit. I wouldn't have wanted to have mixed it with the Ferrari track day...
Hi Paul I've been using a 200 Basic since September last year. Although my regular commute is about 17 miles, I occasionally use my C1 for longer business...
Hi Seng, In answer to some of your questions, I personally don't wear any specific bike or waterproof clothing usually. Altough I do wear a waterproof jacket...
Hi Evan, Could you post a breakdown of your bill, I'd like to compare it with my one from Park West (£265.01). Cheers, Keith ... winges are w= ... and ... dry...
It's probably the labour charge. The Wollaston (Northampton) guy said it takes 3 hours @ £40ph, from the bill I presume he means £30+VAT (£35.25). He said...
Slight typo in that, try this instead..... It's probably the labour charge. The Wollaston (Northampton) guy said it takes 3 hours @ £40ph, from the bill I...
