I've been meaning to get the spring changed on my rear shock for some time but now it appears to have had it's day. The damping is almost non-existent as it tops out very fast regardless of damping adjustments. It is the original shock after all so probably been due a replacement for some...

That's great, thanks for the heads up guys.

There was a guy on here 2 or 3 years ago selling mugs with a choice of S1 in different colours together with the specs. As I've just broken mine I was wondering if he's still on here and still selling them? Cheers, Mike

Fab. Thanks baz & marcus.

Haha, thanks sockets, sounds like my sort of logic :) Hmm, the next question is going to be ceramic bearings or standard....

Great, thanks baz, that's quite a difference then. Now I just need to decide if it's worth ?2.5k.

Does anyone know the weight of the standard 2012 model wheels? Still considering BST carbons but be useful to know the difference in weights. Thanks.

Fab, cheers for that Derwyn. Hopefully they can supply just the clutch lever, if so I'll get one myself.

Cool. Let me know what they say. And, yes, very straightforward to fit :)

Hi Derwyn Got mine from Calsport on eBay (same place as Trumpetmans)... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-S1000RR-2010-2014-TITAX-GP-SHORT-BLACK-BRAKE-CLUTCH-LEVERS-/151467657587?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item23442d0973 Maybe worth looking or contacting them to see if they do a longer clutch...

I've got Titax GP black shorties on mine, look the nuts, although I feel I should have gone with the long clutch lever as the end bobble gets in the way, used to it now though. ?100 the pair.

To get 8mm of fork showing did you raise or lower the forks i.e. what were they before? Mine is showing about 10mm currently (2012 model). I've flipped the rear spacer and it does turn in quicker, more noticeable on track, but the steering does get quite flappy on full acceleration in 2nd and...

+ 1 I've got the older Road 3's, love them, very confidence inspiring and seem to last well. The 4's are supposed to last longer too as the rear has a slightly harder compound in the centre.

Yeah, mine has 8 as standard and all these are fine. Personally I would have thought something like a couple of heating elements would have their own dedicated fuse. Time to trace through the wires.....

As per subject line... 2012 model RR, do the heated grips have their own dedicated fuse and if so where is it located? They just stopped working, don't even show on the dashboard when the button is pressed. Thanks.
