Appreciate this thread is pretty old but do you still have the headers?

I was there two weeks ago! New surface is *very* abrasive - it might be better by May but I'd consider taking an extra set of tyres.

Renewal time for me (2016 S1000RR) and I notice that the warranty specifically excludes tracked bikes, unless BMW organised ones: "An insured motorcycle used for courier private hire services, off-road use, trackdays, competitions or racing of any kind other than track days arranged and...

User mode for me when commuting: Suspension: sports ABS: sports Engine: slick DTC: slick Sports mode is too sedate (plus anti-wheelie) whereas Race/Slick knock fillings loose on our sh*t roads. Rain mode? GTFO.

I'll take a stock brake and clutch lever please.

**BUMP**BUMP** Not much interest in these but before I eBay them I'll drop the price: 3x discs for ?400 + DELIVERY

I picked up some discs from a dealer stock clearance for my '16 plate but turns out they are for the HP4/forged wheels so no good to me. Part number: 34.11.8.523.478 RRP: ?312/disc Brand new: ?450 for the pair. I ended up with three discs so happy to sell them all for ?600.

Yep. Are you London based? My renewal was 10x the previous year with only a collision with a cyclist (still ongoing) in April offered as a reason for the p*ss taking quote. I spoke to Bemoto (who wouldn't quote) but told me insurers are pulling out of London so only a few are left and they are...

If you don't take a car/bike then will they offer a daily allowance? When my bike was knocked over several years go it ended up waiting in the dealer for five/six weeks so the third party's insurance (Direct Line) paid me ?10/day which I used for the train. I'd opt for public transport for a...

I've not looked at mine - do you have to mess about with brake light switches for these? Or is that all picked up by the ABS unit?

Old school - held the tank upside down and poured into a huge bucket!

I smashed mine up on a TD when it was three weeks old so I know how gutting it can be. Pretty much the same advice as above - I bought a full set of fairings plus some other bits and pieces from a racer for a grand. That plus a touch up pen for the frame and it was good to go!

WD40 Lube (summer) and Wax (winter). Their specific chain cleaner is good but I think I'm going back to regular WD40 as it's better for keeping the rust at bay.

I was ok (few bumps and bruises); now waiting on authorisation from the culprit's insurance company but it's looking like a frame replacement! Anyway, sorry for the delay - here a couple of pics of the 1jac:

It did look neater than that but I was knocked off last week and the insurance stuff is still going through.
