I've had them on mine since I bought the bike. They've been spot on. Very easy to fit, no discernible damage. We did an Alps tour in the summer of 2018 and I never had any temp issues (about 2,7k miles in total, all road types and traffic).

I found this doc on the AiM website: https://www.aim-sportline.com/download/ecu/stock/bmw/BMWS1000RR_105_eng.pdf It recommends leaving the standard cluster in there as you said scooby. Not sure if this is relevant to the newer dashes, but extra info is always useful. It seems to cover a good...

Re: Dash Oh you swine!!!! Now I have to have one of those MXS Stradas! Any idea how much effort is involved in fitting them, considering my bike is completely standard electronics wise?

I normally lash some paraffin on the chain, and some Bilt-Hamber on the rest. give it all a good rub, then throw the snow foamer over her. Leave for 20 mins, rinse. Another snow foam, microfibre mitt, rinse. More Blit on the heavily soiled bits, rinse, dry. Show shine. Lube chain. Then proceed...

Get a cheap commuter mule. Don't treat the S1K with such distain! But seriously, rinse it off every time you get back home. The chain might need a bit more attention. A good dry too. Especially in the little nooks. I'd recommend a drier (I grabbed a cheap chinese dog drier off the bay). ACF-50...

I took a look at some images of the tailtidy and mine appears different. It's definitely down on the invoice as a evotech tailtidy, but maybe they changed the design?? Mine didn't even come with a light holder. It was basically just a new small lightweight frame to bolt all the existing...

Apologies for the shitty quality. This is about the best pic I've got at hand (I'm at work). I can add a underside shot if this isn't enough. https://imgur.com/a/i9sidFV

The Haynes manual is fine. Dunno what people want these days for a shop manual at a reasonable price. Everything seems accurate enough and there is a full colour section at the rear on the wiring loom. I also downloaded an ISO that I'm assuming BM use when servicing the vehicles. It seems to...

Ah it's fine guys, I'm healing fine. It put a bit of a downer on the end of the trip and September and October were rough seeing everyone out. I'm just looking forward to next year now. Merry Chrimbo!

Mines been in the shed (garage) since September. Dropped her in a car park in France due to exhaustion and gravel under foot. Dislocated my collar bone. March cannot come soon enough.

I just threw in the eurocarparts compatible stuff when I changed the hoses over. https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/engine-oils-and-car-fluids/antifreeze-and-screenwash/blue-antifreeze/?523770502&0&cc5_865 (1 litre ready mixed top up)...

I've been using the Wurth dry lube for years. Great stuff. Doesn't fling, goes on clean, and is transparent (unlike the horrible gunk BMW like to put on).

Hah, this thread escalates really well! First reply: normal operation. Second Reply: Easily bypassed part needs replacing with cheap alternative or reasonably prices OEM replacement. Third Reply: Engine needed replacing. I love the internet. Mattals, you're totally concentrating on the worst...

Right, apologies for the days late reply, I got side tracked and then forgot. Right I've uploaded a few pics of the wiring: https://imgur.com/a/YO6X0su The first pic is the optional accessories plug and how it hooks up. Red/Brown being a live that goes directly through the fuse then to the...

I'll check my haynes wiring diagram tonight to see the route the wiring takes and what systems (one has to be the ignition) it passes thru. I'm not hugely electrically minded but I can read wiring ok (I'm brilliant at connect the dots me!). Is it possible something has blew along the line and...
