Could be one of the primary coils (the central plug caps) have failed - they do that a lot. Disconnetc the secondary plugs and see if the bike is running on both cylinders (Put an old plug in the secodary cover and touch it to earth to protect the ECU). If its not swap over and check the fault moves...

You can connect the trickle charger through the accessory socket, saves disconnecting anything

Just my 1p

I did the forks on my K with Satin Hammerite which gave a really good finish and lasted. Havn't done the rock yet but they are beginning to go

Two UK firms

http://www.motorworks.co.uk and http://www.motobins.co.uk

will ship. The item is not too costly as far as I can remmember

What cleaned the oil off was the delivery solvent that the WD40 is disolved in, as that evaporates it leaves a film of WD40 behind which is a dry lubricant.

Sounds like the left timing chain rattle, there's a thread going in the rockster forum with regards to that - the essential message is don't worry it's normal.

A lot of R bits are interchangeable I think they all use the same fuel tank sender unit.

UK models do not usually have a CCP

I have the Wunderlich sports screen which I think is adeqate even on motorway blasts ( I'm 6'2")

Just scratched the orange bit on a side panel, getting the tank off Grrrrrr

yup - running at 36/42. (I always use the tyre manufacturers pressures).

It's what makes for tyre arguments

The best tyre is the one that suits your riding style on the journeys you make.

I Like Conti Road Attacks :lol: I don't. :( . I'm surprised. I find, running at Conti's reccomended pressures which are quite different to BMW handbook (36-42 as oppsed to 32-36), that the Rock feels sure footed and agile. I'm getting reasonable miles too just changed the rear at 7K the fronts stil...

I Like Conti Road Attacks

Yep! Thats what mine looks like.

I notice the middle bit is missing - How dreadful

As far as I know UK spec don't have the unit.

I would like to know so I can try remapping, it is good if you get surging and can improve performance/economy.

I don't like secret bits of my bike that BMW thinks I shouldn't know.

Thanks Mixr

Mixr: Do you have or do you know where I can find the Pin Out information for the different colours. This I think could be a really useful thread

Thanks for all the comments. I think I'll fit it and give it a try. My thoughts are similar to Rice's that the gas flow should be a lot faster and leave the case behind - time will tell.

Hirsty if you have a photo easily available a quick look at the fitting would be nice Ta.

I've just taken posession of a new Remus Y pipe and Can.

On trying to make sense of the German instructions, I think it says that I now need some end thingy and a heatshield when I use the panniers

Any comments?

Instruments mainly

Anyone know where I can get a genuine Rockster wiring diagram. I have the Haynes manual but the Rockster wiring isn't in it.
