I have oil leak in right front fork leg. I am going to dismantle the fork myself and deliver it to the dealer so the bike will be ready for a new season, when the snow is gone. Have anyone done this earlyer. Do i need some special tools to get it loos from the top mounting?

Here's the answer to the GS hand guard quandary. Looks better than the large head bolts and the fender washers IMHO. They look RIGHT and bolt right in - no worries. http://home.comcast.net/~mogu83/DSC02041.JPG http://home.comcast.net/~mogu83/DSC02043.JPG The bolts are stainless and you can order th...

Hi!

It still rattles in my gas tank! It is worse when low on gas. Think it might be the gaslevel sensor.

Still no one having heard this on their bikes?

I`m only 34 years old so maby the problem will solve it self when i get older and my hearing gets redused?

Hi! Have been riding my bike for 3500km so far, and no problems so far. But on my last ride i noticed that some oil was coming out on the rigt front fork. It was on the first ride with high temp outside(20c). Is this normal, that som greas from the mounting can come out and look like a leak? Think i...

Bruk mineralolje 20-50W.

Born for burning? Oil?

Hi! I expected some oil use like my R1100S did. Had the first service at 1000km and could see a air bubble just in topp of the sight glass when cold. A little overfill from the dealer but did not do anything about it because i thought the level would fix it self. Now after riding 2200km the bubble i...

Hi celticus!

That looks just great. I will order one too, but I would like to se how it is mounted to the bike. Is it possible for you to take some fotos of that?

Hi!

I think I have seen a fender extender for the R12R om the web earlyer, but I cant find it. Does anyone know where to find?

Yes i can move the tank a little from side to side when parked. Cant find any bolts at all, only the plastic side panels holding the tank i think.

Hi!

After riding my RR for 300km it seems that the gas tank is moving a lot when the bike is idleing. The tank moves prety much, and i can hear a rattle inside tank too. Someone else have this experience too?

Hi!

Got my new R running this thursday too. Revs just exelent, but i also have problem keeping it under 4000 rpm . Dont think it will hurt to drive it a little harder. Bike is nice, nothing to put an finger on so far. 300km so far!

In Norway I had to pay $31450 for my new R1200R. Half of it is tax . So at the prices that you have to pay, just buy it

Does anyone have the service sheets for services on these bikes? Woud have been great if you could scan it and get it on this site!

I ordered the clear lenses for my bike, not the hole expensive kit with reflektor and lenses. Had to buy the amber bulbs too. The amber bulbs have two pins that is different than the clear ones, but i just pressed the amber ones in without any mods done. Worked out just fine for me. An other solutio...

I did also see the oil cooler as a problem at first, but look at all the japs and ducatis, most of them have the oil and water cooler just behind the weel. If they last, my RR will also!!

HI Kiwi60!

In the last magasine called Bike (you have the same magasin in Sweeden) your lock was the winner in an test of about ten disc locks. They used almost 60 sec to get it opened.

Hi Celticus!

The BMW part number: 07119905580

and the brand: Philips 12093RY 10W/12V

This should get you yellow bulbs i think!

Bulbes arriwed this weekend, but not the lenses. The general importer in Norway was empty at the moment.
