BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

The rocks a cool bike, give you a maniac grin every time,I sold it for a R1200ST, that has a superb motor... the note as you wound it out was excellent... Bit of weight on the wrists though around town you were aware of.. But after the ST developed problems I went to the KR, it's like the rock with ...

Gotta admit the sports rims look the mince.. from what I've read on the R1100S board where they used the bigger tyre it slows the handling down.. can't say I've experienced to confirm

At least 180's a way common size...

...I'd say that your bike desperatly needs a DAMNED GOOD THRASH!!! But what makes a "Good Thrashing"? I ride 110Km's per day, mostly at speeds AROUND 140 km/hr. Isn't that thrashing? I'm not trying to make people defence about the bikes, I have not met a single person on this forum that I...

Yeah also same screen, not too impressed with the BMW sports windscreen, too rounded for my taste. Be getting the Flow jet soon...


Bry

WAY TO GO BP!

You're going to have fun.. stay away from the Wunderlich catalouge and you'l be fine...

Bry

I'm assuming he means software.

And no I don't, 7 should be on from mid 06 I think... only way to tell is hooking up to the shop system...

AGH! http://www.motohansa.com.au/docs/wl/K1200S_R.pdf So, I've started with the oil cooler grille (black one) and tank protector... then I'll have a flow screen, Then the bottom alloy sump guard, o..o.. and a CF exhaust tip... Then I explain to the missus, "these are all vitally important bits!...

The R's going to feel odd after this... mind you your license might uncramp! :D Be interested in your report... o and I find my tank range is severly limited by that twist...

Yes, gotta admit the hepco and SW motech bars are huge, I like the R&G kit that's out as well...

If you damage one it looks like you can cripple one of your local skating nerds and nick his wheels to replace it!


Bry

Does look close, really like it, although the instrument panel trim is odd...

But the Griso.... oooooo... That I like!


Bry

Sure you haven't just fried the clutch slightly?


Bry

yeah.... although a week or two's notice for me to get there!

"Don't cook tea for me, just going for a ride with the guys from the board, back is say.. ah 5 days..."

Bry

LOL!

Heya from the other side...

Easiest way would be to go to the back of the bulb in the headlight, use a multimeter Identify the low beam (probably have to start the bike to get it on) wire, and then tap into that and run that feed to the driving light switch. The switch should then go to the relay pin 86/85 and will allow you t...

DJ,

Has the shop given you any idea on parts wait? and are the instrument mounts ok?

The Jeans held up well... certainly considering a pair of those, they do seem to work well...


Bry

BAH! They're only for the US guys....


bugger...



Bry

You need a K12R young man....

they removed the rear brake...

well, it feels like it!


Bry

Man DJ, glad you came out ok...

I always hated those damn silver slippery things...


Hope all goes well and you're back cruising soon!
