    Cornering ABS

    https://youtu.be/gPE67XqGsV4 Maybe this will help you. Good video on introduction to trail braking.

    Cornering ABS

    2015 bikes don't have cornering ABS. Think that came on 2017 bikes

    Buying a 1-piece suit

    I got my custom fit 1 piece through BMW, was cheaper than some off the peg options so could be worth looking at as an option. You even get to choose the colours if that's something you're interested in

    Bridgestone Tyres

    Well 120 miles you've baely scrubbed them in. And you've probably done yourself no favours with the preconceptions. If you went in blind you might have not noticed - then again you might not have gotten on with the tyres all the same.

    2023 model changes

    I like the new gills. I guess BMW got fed up with replacing them. Wish they'd change the rear lights though. The indicator is invisible under braking

    22 RR Seats

    You can use the S1000R M seat on the RR. Other people in the forum have done it on their bike for the same reason as yourself

    Air bleed system in exhaust

    Don't know about earlier, but both Gen 3 and 4 have got this. But I wouldn't say it's a selling point. They feel a little artificial to me, my 2008 ZX-10R was so much nicer on the overrun with just a Yoshi end can

    Hello all - Potential new owner

    There were issues with early batches of the carbon wheels which all got replaced under warranty. Haven't had any issues with mine in 2 years of ownership, but then again I'm not doing a lot of miles either. Did hit a large bump in the road which left me worried, but no damage to the wheel was...

    Suspension headache

    I know some dealers have recommended running the bike in rain mode while running it in as the suspension also needs to bed in too.

    Gilles Brake Lever Protector

    I think it's supposed to be 25Nm. Didn't have any threadlock on mine when I changed the bar weights.

    WSBK Rules

    Well maybe WSBK will start penalising Ducati for Bautista's performance like they did with Kawasaki and Rea. You only have to look at the satellite teams to see that the Kawasaki is severely hampered. I've thought the R1 and the Duc have been the better bike to more riders for a few years now...

    Carbon wheel clean

    I've only used muc-off nano on my wheels. Never had an issue

    Insurance renewable

    I am so getting fleeced by insurance. 43 yo, full no claims, held licence for 20 years and if I add all of your prices up it's about what I'm paying! Stupid London Tax

    Battery lead

    I've got my cable going out under the rider's seat. Didn't need to remove any panels to do it.

    First road bike off

    I had to sit through the pain of The Darkness supporting Disturbed at Brixton. That hurts beyond imagination - although probably not as bad as your pain of owning a Gixer

    Alarm

    From experience, I'd rather have an alarm than not. I had one bike not stolen because the alarm went off (they tried, but it scared them off) and one bike that was stolen and didn't have an alarm. And don't give me the tracker ********. That did absolutely nothing.

    More legislation

    74db?! WTF!! Even with the engine off a bike makes more noise than that
