The owner or Russ, as us former employees called him 😂, is indeed a very sharp man and he has a very good board around him. I’ve sat in enough board meeting with him and the senior management team to know (rightly so), he’s only interested in the number in the bottom right hand corner of the...

If the fuel system is already up to pressure it won’t always prime. Are you saying it’s not priming and then won’t start? Or it’s just not priming?

From my time at BMW, I never really saw any issues with the Gen1 XRs. I’d left before the Gen2s appeared, however I know of one that had the forks leak and ended up needing replacement fork bottoms (both) and then suffered warped discs twice (never tracked). I have other friends who have had...

The new one is mapped to deliver more at the top-end as it doesn’t have shift cam. So naturally you have to ride it harder to get the most out of it. The earlier one delivers more low down in the revs making it more tractable. All in my opinion, but shared by a friend who’s just traded his 2022...

Not 100% certain, but as it?s not coded as such I would imagine so :)

You might find that if it?s not the original ECU for the bike, then other components might be stopping the ECU from doing very much :/

Not coded to the ECU as such, but the bike has to be programmed so the bike knows there is a new one fitted if that makes sense?

I think it?s only on the info screen along with voltage and tyre pressures etc. Not sure if it can be added into the various sport dashes I?m afraid.

As above. Key is coded to the ECU and as long as you have one key that works as it should, other can be removed or added as required up to 3 in total. You can only order keys to the VIN of the bike (not the ECU number), if it doesn?t then match the barrels, you?re a little bit stuck as far as...

Much like the M7 and M9 RR tyres in my opinion. But tyres are a very personal thing. I found the A41 Bridgestones really noises and a bit skittish in the wet on my GS and now I?m on Pirelli Angel GT 2s, it given me a world of confidence. At the end of the day it?s what feedback they give you vs...

It does absolutely nothing except have a microphone, speaker, tilt sensor and a gsm SIM card in it. It can?t and doesn?t record anything. If you have a crash the tilt sensor trigger the gsm SIM card to ping it?s location to whoever the company is BMW use to assist and then your button starts...

I ended up putting the standard can on before I went. Lucky too as it still blew 103 with that.

My mistake. I thought you meant the BMW club day yesterday. It was a warm one and a very rare crash fest. Lots of red flags which was disappointing for Rob and everyone else. There were a lot of silly moves being made. I think the heat was getting to people and they were losing concentration...

I?ll look to come and find you. We?ll be parked up next to my Grey Audi estate. Matt Grey Triumph & Red XR :) it?ll be interesting to see how the tyres cope with these temps forecast. I have absolutely no clue what to set my pressures to. Mid to high 20s I guess.
