Just been out today a ride on my 2017 RR and had a bit of a nightmare with the ignition key. I use the one with the silver metal band around it with the BMW embossed logo and this is attached to a key ring with a couple of other keys. Looked down whilst riding to see the key band falling away...

Gave mine a blast last weekend.

Mine is on an Optimate 4 and a are on an Optimate 5 both are fine.

It sounded good when they fired it up!

I ordered a pair of Pro Plugs from the show too, but without the built in speakers. Bright colours, Red for right and Blue for left. Delivery by end of March ?40. Will see how they good they are .

Had my first real spirited run with the coding plug installed, got home and noticed a strange rubbing noise from the rear wheel almost like there was something trapped between the hugger and the tyre (which there wasn't and I've checked every where else). Noise only apparent at a certain point...

Welcome, I'm 60 yrs young enjoying my RR, waiting to get HP rear sets and levers fitted any day Chris

Fantastic post guys, thanks that helped me understand the setting much more. Cheers Chris

Ok, so what I think you are saying is the DTC is implemented differently in each of the modes and then the amount they are applied can be controlled by the -7 to +7 dial in I was thinking that that DTC in rain with say a +7 might be equal to a sport DTC with say a -7 etc but I'm thinking...
