Please do not keep us in suspense

Depending on the depth of the scratches there are two ways of doing this. If the scratches are very light they should come out using Autosol metal polish or Mequiars plastic polish / scratch remover. If they are deeper start with 400 / 600 waterpaper and rub in the direction of the scratches and as ...

I agree with Celticus - my 2007R blew a piece off the top of the piston at 200kmh and my dealer replaced both connecting rods & bearings, both pistons & rings, both cylinders and one cylinder head plus the cat converter and also changed the oil & filter. Reason given for replacing the CA...

I have a similar situation, been riding since 1958 no broken bones or hip replacements apart from a back operation around 15 years ago which was a 110% success but given that at my age I am now getting into a certain amount of dirt / off road riding with the GS I have been giving quite a bit of thou...

Just "Google" multi fuel dispensers and you will find plenty of info - Regards to all from South Africa

Go to www.patentstorm.us/patents4978028.html and all will be revealed

Just my 2 cents worth, I did a rough costing as to what is would have cost to repair my "R" in " Firing on one " had it not been under warranty - the cost would have been close to half of what the bike cost new. Of course if I had had to carry the cost myself I would probably not...

Yamaha XT 660 R no question in my mind !

We're (well, she's) awaiting delivery of a shiny red F650GS soon. Has anyone had the pleasure, maybe as a loner or such? I've read the ride reports obviously, but I don't trust those shmoes like I do you people... I had one while my "R" was in the shop - magic little bike, enough power, h...

Yes Dan, Thanks I know that and I intend to connect it exactly the same as you have done " soldered connections and heat shrink sleeving" all I have to do is find the darn thing

I have only been able to find the one shown in Rockets second photo - the one with the wire clip. If you put a meter on the two terminals you only get +- 9 volts - measure from one to earth and you get a full 12 volt plus - measure from the other one to earth gets you around 3 to 4 volts ?? - I gues...

A little while back I was looking at trading my 2007 in on a new bike in Biarritz blue - turns out we are not getting the blue in South Africa but the dealer who handles cars as well has their own panel / paint shop and offered to change the Granite gray to the Biarritz blue for R:2500.00 which equa...

Yep, blew them off accidentally with the HP washer

Early 2007 I was keen on the F800S or ST but then I took the "R" for a test run and that was it. Then when I had a problem with the "R" (see Firing on One) one of the loan bikes I was given by the dealer was a 2008 - R1200GS. Someone told me prior to this that the GS was the best...

Has anybody figured out how to get them working like the Harley ones - push once=on push again=off while still retaining the auto cancel facility ?

So that it will not rub against the paintwork maybe ??

Oops some photos did not attach !! try again.

Hi all, probably be my last post on the "R" site unless some subject which affects both bikes come's up. So as promised here's photos of the new bike after it's first wash, top box, tappet cover protectors & hooters fitted - still waiting for the H7 HID bulb.IMG]http://i160.photobucket...

Bought my "R" June 2007 fitted with Metzelers - traded it in a week ago with nearly 15000km on the clock and tyres still good for another 2000km or so.

Hi Guys - Just a quick update from South Africa. All the deals mentioned before fell through so I decided to go the GS route which was probably what I should have done in the first place on the basis that I was totally impressed with the loan GS I had for a while when the "R" was out of ac...
