Great Alex thanks! :)

ah right ok, so the cast rim is def 5.5" wide and the forged ones are 6" wide?

Oh my she's looking sweet dude, enjoy!! Whatever you do, keep her upright lol!

excellent! What's RealOEM?

Cheers for that info westy. Out of interest what 190 tyre you go for buddy? Metzeler do a k3 racetek in the 200 I think?

I'm unsure if the above is a silly question lol

Hi guys, just wondering if the forged rims rims are wider than the standard cast wheels? Main reason being I'm looking at a 200 rear tyre rather than 190 that's on my cast rims. thanks

Thanks guys, I'll give this a look up in the handbook and maybe give it a bash. Once the manual adjustments have been made with spanners, does the handbook clearly tell you how to then calibrate the system?

Ah right I see. How do you know what the preload should be set to for each individual then? I take it adjusting the preload involves using spanners to do this yes? Or is this done electronically?

was it a BMW dealer who set the "sag" for you? Can somebody define "sag" also? And how is this set?? Thanks

Brake cleaner and a rag. I've always put renthal chain / sprockets on and never ever once applied grease lol

Are you actually going to use a split link? You can't be serious? Lol. Expect that chain to come off, that's all I can say dude!

Superb feedback from everyone, thanks guys. Bike has been fine since slightly adjusting freeplay. :-)

to be clear, could you keep squeezing the brake lever all the way prior to starting up the bike and it was still not building up pressure until after you start the bike up? If it's just once or twice and then lever becomes hard even without engine started, there's 100% air in the system I would say.

Hi Cavey, hope you get this fixed dude. I'm not really clued up on this part of the bike lol. Let us know if you get her sorted buddie :-)

Actually seems ok today!! Oh my actual god - I love this bike !!!!! Lol

Yeah sometimes i just put it into neutral right before coming to a stop, it's easier that way. Might check clutch freeplay to see it that helps. People say only 1mm of free play from cold? Seems quite tight to me. My bike is away to turn 6k miles, probably today lol :-)

Yeah ive heard that dude. Maybe I'm just being OTT with it but don't remember it always being like that :-/

Ok dude. Thanks for that. I'm certain it's not the chain that's causing it, I don't think anyway :-/

Yes it's fine and has about 40/45mm free play with bike on side stand, according to BMW mechanic it's how it should be. Going by eye it looks slack, but that's what it says on the side of the swingarm for it to be too?
