Agree the side reflectors are ugly, likely a knock-on from the US model requirement. Just don?t involve the missus? hair straighteners in the job!

Thanks Westy, best price I?ve seen for that one too so going I?m going to order it now. Out of interest I was lucky to get one of the very first customer M?s in July 19, after a load of mither with previous Gen 3 Datatool I sacked that option for the Gen 4, and being an earlier one it came...

Apologies for no doubt revisiting previous threads but I?m about to replace my old Optimate with one suitable for the M?s lithium battery. BMW charger apart, Optimate do both the Lithium and the Duo - so wondering what people are using for reliable long term charging?

Re: What have you bought for the gen4? Yes I expect there will be Soof, worth a check of local scrap dealers to see which ones can get the metal in to the refining chain where it?s value can be recovered. The reputable ones from whom you?ll get the best value would want some form of...

Re: What have you bought for the gen4? Yeah no doubt it is. It?s well over 10 times the price of gold at the moment. Good reason to bin off that awful K67 cat and fit a full system - which is something I?ve yet to do.

Re: What have you bought for the gen4? I manage my company?s Platinum group catalyst metals and the cost of Rhodium?s currently stratospheric - so dig deep in to those pockets!

It?s hugely unlikely you?ll be disappointed with the 4, as good as the Gen 3 is the newer bike trounces it in almost every way.

Might be wrong but I imagine that the cat?s the main restriction, so just changing the can?s unlikely to affect it either with or without the baffle. Can?t say I?ve noticed any difference with my Akra stubby. Have you modded to open the exhaust valve or just left the servo and cabling...

From previous thread posts, it?s clear that some dealers are fully pulling the warranty for a full system (think some people have even said this for end cans). My dealer?s relaxed, fine with a can but limited engine warranty for full system / remap. Suggest you speak to your dealer, and since...

Guess I?ll need to go thought the stages you?ve been though to establish clutch renewal?s required.

Understand this is an older thread but yesterday my M had its second service (at 12 months old) with only 600 miles on. For various, simplistic reasons I?ve barely ridden it but I was aware of the neutral problem from the 1st ride last July, and I almost gave up trying to locate it during the...

Good job it came a day early Daz, if not then those little delivery people would probably have got it wedged halfway down the log burner?s chimney!

My 2nd service is tomorrow and I?m hoping things improve! My 1st service was last September - the chosen day?s weather was foul in every way, plus the local farmers had decided to coat the roads in shite. The bike hadn?t seen rain to that point and there?s probably still some of the remnants...

Hey Jamie that?s a great read - high level but humble! Unlike you I?m likely a crap performer on the bike, but as a Chemical Engineer I?m absolutely with you on Newton, Archimedes & da Vinci.

Likely that the difference is due to BM?s temperature compensation which I think uses operating temperature (whatever they consider that to be), so the pressure we measure using a typical gauge (not the on board one) with cold tyres will be lower. Warm tyres will return a higher pressure -...
