Hi Im struggling to remove the bolts on my centre stand they are very tight .Do they use locktite on the bolts ? Any ideas out there. By the way just fitted a Sena bluethooth kit to my shoei gt-air helmet its fantastic .I always used earbuds but they have been irritating my ears lately.Not cheap tho...

Do not sell change the bike to suit your body type .I put yamaha fz bars ,wilber aftermarket shocks,comfort seat, now its perfect for my body ,best bike ever .you cannot dislike the bike too much if you did 25k in 18mts. some people do that in 5 years. Just my thoughts.

Thanks for that info .cant take a photo as i sprayed it black with heat resistant paint but that is starting to come off after 2 rides
It said can stand up to 650 deg but no such luck.

Yes stainless goes brown mine is chrome. the front of the pipe is blue that's no problem .if the pipe is stainless under the chrome then it must be the chrome that is rusting . I shall have to cross reference the aftermarket ones to check. The bmw no. Are different gs ends with 03 and 04 .mine ends ...

Just wondering if any one knows if a r1200gs (2006)stainless headers will fit my R1200r (2009)chrome .I want to replace mine as the are rusted and i can get a stainless header of a R1200gs from someone living 1000km from me so its hard to try it out.Thanks guys

hi
you will definitely need a longer brake cable with the 2 inch risers .1 inch is ok but not 2.I used the rox with anti vibrate inserts and had to grind the nuts down under the risers as well .you are better off with the 1 inch risers.

had my tires replaced .put my wheels back on and the dredded shudder while braking is there. I first thought the dealer bent my rotors on the tire machine . When removing the front wheel I notice too that i did not line up with the axel on the right hand side with the fork . removed my front wheel a...

I it was the battery after all .Strange symtoms thou .Put in a SSB lithuim battery 290cca weights only 1kg and 40% smaller .Im very impress with the way it cranks over.

I want to replace my rear tire only because my front still has 50% thread and shows no signs of bad wear .,is that ok or should i replace both same time.i always replace both at the same time but it seems a bit of a waste of money.I have found the michelin pilot power 3 the best tire for my bike so ...

my local machanic said i can put a michelin pilot power 3 190 on the rear instead of a 180 .will this be a no go or is it ok the 190 should last longer .by the way this will be my second pilot power 3's and i found them better than the metzler z6 and the michelin pilot road 3's. in all aspects grip,...

I have a BMW r1200r 09 model and bought a shad top box for it .Can anyone out there help with suggestions how to fit it to the bike without spending an arm and a leg I would like it to look neat as well.Thanks

I want to mount two led spot lights on my 1200r .does anyone know a site where i can purchase some from, i do not want to pay an arm and a leg for them nor do i want cheap junk.It would be good if the easy to mount as well .PS I am in Sydney (Aust)area.

i have been having issues with my left hand heated grip .it died on me a few months ago i resoldered the wires on the heat pad and it worked a few times ,but died again so i deceided it must be close to where i soldered where the problem is.I then scrapped the top layer of plastic off with a cable k...

Hi
I manage to fix problem by just by lifting the dustcaps ,cleaning under them and put a little grease in and the are fine no leaks for a year.
Water collects under them at times and that creates problems i now clean them out every six mts or so.
Good luck

I have a left heated grip off my 07 if anyone needs it, it was changed to match the right one that replaced a failed one, the rubber is worn(47,000miles)but the heat still works. Free to a good home if you pay for shipping and lunch. hi I would like it if you still have it as mine worked for a few ...

did the right hand grip last night was a bit harder to get off than the left side but everything went ok ,no issues

Just a quick heads up on heated grips repair .My left hand grip would not heat up any more so I deceided to investigate.Found I had power going to the grip but no heating taking place. Checked the resistance value of the grip coils and it was about 10k ohm far to high so I cut the rubber hand grip o...
