Enjoy lad, keep er lit :-D

Someone please tell me this is normal lol

Hi guys, thought I'd ask - does anyone have issues selecting neutral coming to a set of traffic lights for example and stopping bike fully then trying to select neutral? Some times it's easier for me to go up to 2nd the down a tap to neutral. Weird coz the bike never used to behave like that...

Hi Cavey. Ah not so good to hear!! So - does the TC light come on from time to time and just stays on? It's hard going through issues that can't be resolved but try per severe. Who's your local motorrad dealer?

Just an update guys. Bikes back and all fixed, I'm so happy :))

Got a 2016 f800r as a loan bike, wow it's slow lol! Fine and handy for A to B though I guess.

Suppose it could be bud? Doesn't look like a cut and shut though haha. Nah I'm not sure really to be honest. I do know it's not a 2 minute job to change out bushes and the bearings. Hopefully this will be a long term permanent fix. What I was thinking was, I probably need to adjust my suspension...

Yeah your totally right Alex. If it wasn't in warranty I'd be out of pocket big time lets just say that lol!

2015 warranty update! Hi guys, some of you's may seen I had issues with wheel bearings / sprocket carrier play etc. Bike went in again today and turns out it requires wheel bearings and possibly a new wheel spindle, also the swingarm bearings / bushes are totally goosed as there is lots of free...

Cheers guys. Yeah hopefully I get it all sorted out. I'll Deffo keep you guys posted. Don't get me wrong I love this bike!! One day I'll post something good about it, haha. Good having this forum for people to discuss matters like this!

Theres a a time and a place lol but course I'm riding it like I stole it! Honestly my r1 took abuse for 20k miles and never chewed Cush rubbers or swingarm bearings. Granted it had slightly less HP than the bimmer. It's also virtually impossible not to wheelie the BMW all the time lol mine gets...

My bike was fire new dude! I can only report the faults I'm having with the bike. Only issues in a nutshell is the wobbly sprocket carrier / wheel bearings - yet although There is too much free play between bearings and spindle. My bike came with Motorsport colours / performance pack and the...

Re: Chain & Sprockets So what's the advantage with 520, lightweight I guess? Ok so I've got renthal R4 chain and sprokets fitted to my bike and there even seems to be an issue with this. If you look at the back of the bike, there's a lot of side to side movement on the chain on the rear...

Hi there. Yeah I done 20k miles on my r1 and had minimal issues really to be honest. Don't get me wrong I love the Beemer but the support so far down the correct channels isn't good enough for me. My opinion is BMW made the best super sport bike available however all the niggly things are...

RyS1000rr, what kind of chain and sprokets you using? Just standard? I'm worried about my bike needing bushes for the swingarm, there's Deffo play there that shouldn't be follow by this creaking type noise. Def going in past John Clark BMW today / this afternoon so hopefully they will understand...

Only seems to do it after I've been for a run aswell so the bike is hot, as you's know the bottom part of the frame etc gets really hot to the touch

Why did I not go for the forged wheels :-(((

Cavey, hi dude. I'm not surprised at all like! BMW's design in my eyes on this spec of bike is grim. My bike is also needing bushes swingarm / frame. You believing that!! I was chuffed when I got my bike but I've lost a lot of faith and I don't want to as I love that bike. They replaced my Cush...

How are you able to link up an akrapovic down pipe with SC end pipe? Chris give me a PM I'm in Aberdeen buddy, I've a 2015 RR. Highland dyno is also best bet and to also confirm id say you'll more than likely required a PC5 to get full potential out the exhaust set up! Cheers, Dave

Yeah mine creates a lot of heat during town riding. No biggy really. In my eyes normal for this bike.
