Still visiting, but even with the technical issues here, if no-one posts, the place will die.

Sadly, not in my experience set - I've been relatively lucky with the electrics on my bikes!

As I understand it - the gearbox output shaft is 'above' the normal level of the oil (ie the static level). So- if it's leaking, a) it won't leak much b) it's acting a bit like an excess overflow. Yes you might get some seepage because of the oil being splashed about, but it won't leave the gearbox ...

You've got my email, get in touch.

I, for one, really appreciate all you have done through out the years. It has been a great source of information and also led to countless friendships and group rides. I totally understand if and when the site has to retire. Thanks for the ride! What Buckster said! Let us know what we can do to help?

"Bandwidth exceeded" for several day. I guess my bands are too wide. Same here. The ISP obviously has a limit on how much data this server can use, so the more we visit.... the more data we use. :( This is standard practise for most ISPs and nothing 'sinister'. Doug would need to pay more...

Presumably - the post appeared - I'd call that successful.

What exactly happens when the starter is pressed?

I'm just wondering if I need it neat or not - it doesn't get as cold here in the UK.

New to me 2004 R1150R owner looking for advice regarding front brake pads. Bike has 26,500 miles on and front pads look “thin” to me. I can still see the wear indicator mark but can’t find a minimum thickness spec for this bike. What do y’all recommend for minimum thickness? Thanks, Dave If the ind...

Do you go for a diluted mixture or neat?

Like, shared, appreciated, understood.

Good work Wayne!

Thank the Lord! I think I've hit on the problem.....not that I understand it any better but this is a reply I got during the night after I emailed the phpBB forum software people asking for technical support: Hi Wayne, If you're putting it the correct username and password but still aren't able to ...

Keep trying, keep talking, keep the faith.

Riceburner, I have a feeling you type much faster than most of us as you are a software engineer. I have to relog in every time I click The reply button to get to this area and start a reply. Then I usually take too long typing and when I hit submit get the "You have to be logged in to reply b...

Personally, I prefer the OE BMW pads, they're thicker than the EBCs and I find they last longer, but then I do strange things with brakes on my bike ......

Sounds like the barrel is worn?

Quite! We need you around!

I have experienced issues when attempting to post as well. I can be logged in, I draft a reply to something, then when I try to post I am asked to log in again. Do that and all the draft text is lost. I have taken to drafting everything offline or saving to my the desktop first. That’s a separate i...

I had an email conversation with Doug recently - there are some issues with the forum that are becoming harder to deal with for certain reasons that aren't disclosable. :( ( I would suggest that we bear with the issues and do the best we can to keep the community spirit going for as long as we can. ...
