Paulo, As @bananaman is saying above, can you identify the high tension leads to the starter solenoid and put a different charged up 12V battery connection to it? Agree with starter motor, sounds like not enough current to spin it, just enough to partly activate the solenoid I'd look for bad...

As Alex says earlier on this thread, I just changed my cam chain tensioner plug on my 2018 K46 from the black plug to the silver/grey plug which is reccommended for bikes above 15K km and it made a real difference. The grey/silver plug and O-ring push the tensioner back possibly a further 10mm...

Well, I finally finished the 18,000 mile valve check service on Sunday on my 2018 K46 with a significant amount of help from my eldest son. I took the DDC forks out and over to Bähnstormers in Alton who kindly serviced them for me (£179 inc VAT) and they fitted some new 10.5Nm K-Tech fork...

Is that a DDC rear shock at all? I didn't know, but can a DDC rear shock be serviced? Apologies if it is a conventional shock, I'll get my coat....

@RickS1K keep us posted as I have exactly the same oil/rad guards in the royal blue colour with the same issues. I hadn't thought of using a rattle can with them. Worth a try! I tend to spray paint in the garden on a dry day, suspending the part from a wire between two solid posts, only the...

I have one on my 2018 Gen K46 (as Alex says, you can get a kit to fit it to the K67 fork too) and fitting this makes a whole heap of difference to my front suspension feel with the additional settings enabling rebound and compression in the bike's standard Settings menu. It's plug and play to...

Alex, use a camelbak 2.5L drinks pack and buy some rehydration fluids to add to it. Used one touring in Oz, absolutely essential in temps above 30C

Doh, sorry, I did know about the loose clutch lever free play as there have been many others with the same issue on this forum too. Glad you found the fix.

Welcome Billy, I have a 2018 Gen 3 from new and I have no need or intention to have to part with it. They're all great value at present if you're buying. Enjoy your purchase when you get around to it. As far as tinkering is involved, you might be disappointed with the S1000RR. I've added...

Just echoing what @alex and @mike g just wrote. When the ambient temperature is hot (30C plus), my K46 also runs hot. On a tour of Spain and France the fan was almost constantly on and the temperature on the dash was often showing 103C and more on the first day coming out of Santander. I thought...

Welcome, lovely looking bike and a great setting, thanks for posting. My son rides a new MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR and lives in Plymouth. He took me on a ride a couple of weeks ago into North Devon via Porlock Hill in Somerset, phoowee, nice roads around there.

I have a 2018 K46, had it since new, it was my first shift assist bike of any kind. I admit that she doesn't like 'timid' upshifts with the foot, I had to learn to be really, really firm & positive with my shifter foot on the upshift. Otherwise the bike can hesitate on the upshift or even leave...

Fitted my SC Project MotoGP style CRT slip on several years ago (no baffle) on my K46, still wearing it and like has been said already, it is addictive with the flames up upshifts and the throttle roll-off crackle and popping and very useful when filtering in traffic to let drivers know I'm...

They're all Fugly, Alex. "“The appearance of the new BMW R1300GS Adventure is sure to attract attention,” Head of BMW Motorrad Development" You're not kidding. I know that they are meant to be just a joy to ride, and I have good friends who have bought them and I've seen the lean angles they get...

Google Maps is your friend for journeys using public transport. Everywhere in Italy is great. A pilgrimage south to Tavullia to the home town of VR46 might be in order?

Welcome Luis. Lovely bike. Well done to you. I also have a 2018 model in traditional sports white and blue. I have a friend who had a very similar bike to yours from new, bought it as a dealer special. He lives in Fareham, I will ask him if he recognises your bike or not. Enjoy your ride!

Simon makes a living out of these routes he's done, FYI, they're only a couple of quid each. https://www.simonweir.co.uk/north-england-routes

Hi Mike, I'm at 18k too for my Gen 3, I've just changed the oil and fitted a Stahlbus oil drain valve and parked the valve check service for another 1000 miles until I've sold a kidney too. I looked at YouTube on changing the DDC fork oil, I've done straight forward forks before, but these DDC...

Ross, 1. If you're not riding your bike 'as well as you should' then perhaps you might first consider some track training. I previously did Californian Superbike School I did level 1 on my own bike, learned a huge, huge amount about my riding position and getting a motorcycle efficiently and...

You can buy specialist Track Day insurance. Adrian Flux are a track day motorcycle and car insurance specialist you can do a Google search for "Motorcycle Track Day Insurance". I've never purchased it and like you I did a track day at cold wet Croft circuit with my heart in my mouth about...
