    2D Potentiometer Gen 3

    I love mine on my 2018 Gen 3, so not parting with it, I only use it on the road but I like that it separates rebound and compression on the front end - the feeling from the front end for me was transformative. I bought mine several years ago from a dealer in Reigate who seem to have now...

    opening the bars from stock position, Front track/road brake pads replacements

    Start at the beginning, get a friend to help you measure the sag and reset the preload both front and rear to your weight to meet the sag distance recommendations. Once you've done that, there are lots of threads on here and Dave Moss tuning advice on YouTube to advise you, then play with the...

    I found these and thought of you - Demon Retail T-Shirts - BMW Gen 4 design

    I came across this guy who sketches bikes and puts them onto T-shirts on another bike forum, the artist got very positive reviews and was considered very helpful by others. He's done a S1000RR Gen 4 sketch and sells on the Etsy platform here

    61 in a 40....

    Why not try one of the specialist bike solicitors such as https://www.whitedalton.co.uk who tend to be in the accident claims business, but they will certainly give some initial free advice or suggest another practice. I've used solicitors twice for long gone speeding offences, once at 110 on a...

    Slip On Exhaust & Rad Guards - Recommendations Please

    Careful when removing the plastic radiator shroud to fit the guards, don't do a short cut like I did and not remove it completely and leave it hanging by a couple of bolts and then catching it abruptly with a knee. I snapped the radiator shroud as the plastic is fairly brittle. I had to plastic...

    headlights on 2016 S1000 RR

    They should both come on together if you had leathers and a helmet which matched the Gen 3 colour scheme you were on..... heee heee heee - (No I'm not the fashion police - but couldn't resist it and I is an expert, speaking as one what looks like a gorilla shagging a rugby ball when I ride my...

    Norton

    Ah, but according to his defence lawyer he is full of remorse and suffering mental health issues and is even on drugs to combat the feelings he has. I'm sorry, but being a Director of a company has legal boundaries to ensure that people behave correctly around large sums of money. And for him...

    S1k for sale?

    If you buy it, you'll always have to declare it as a Cat N if you ever decide to sell it, it may impact your future road insurance quote as they will know it is a Cat N. I would pay much less if you decide to buy it and use it as a track weapon and not on the road. There are plenty of...

    Fully agree with what Oli has written here. You'll really enjoy your day if you use it as an opportunity to realise where you might improve your road riding and road survival skills. The practical work on the urban/country/highway rides that you'll do you get to lead and ride behind the cop in...

    Nurburgring

    Also, as the French are getting absolutely **** hot on speeding fines at present, even on A roads, I collected a ?750 fine myself 4 years ago trying to set a land speed record having been clocked at 256kmh, consider getting into Belgium at your earliest opportunity and plot a route along some...

    Nurburgring

    I would encourage you to study the web resources that Ben Lovejoy used to post about do's and don'ts and especially the 5 rules for motorcyclists. I haven't been for nearly 15 years myself, but back in the day we all loved it, I went there 4 times and always in cars - even rented a car from a...

    To sue or not to sue

    Rick, It's a devil of a job and remember the County Council acts as both the judge and juror to ensure that they don't waste resources forking out for their mistakes. Last February I took my wife's Boxster 718S out in Hampshire and hit a pot hole whilst I was unsighted to the road surface by...

    Bloodbiker - swimathon to raise funds - can you spare a couple of quid, please?

    Thanks everyone for your very kind donations. As a team of three we swam relay lengths and completed the required 100 lengths in 50 minutes. We all felt good for the experience and we raised over ?1,000 including gift aid. I'm the fat ugly b*gger in the middle of the enclosed picture.
