Hi Gav, welcome along. Where about in Scotland are you based? I had the 1299s before, cracking bike. You won?t be disappointed in the beemer, I?ve got the MY22 so yours will be even better.

Welcome along, how far up Scotland are you?

it?s a T15 and not a T10 as has been stated. Well it?s a T15 on my 2022 bike anyway.

20-25mm would probably be the ideal amount of travel left.

There is roughly 120mm of fork travel. They usually bottom out with about 10mm or so of fork leg showing. You have plenty left.

Re: The new hotness... Cracking stuff mate. I?d have thought DTC 2 would have been kicking in too much and being too intrusive on the slower corner exits when hard on the gas, I know my 22 bike was. What did you have the + - set at, zero? Did you set the trigger for the lap timer to external...

Maybe try it in race see if it?s the same. Mine seems to pull no probs at all no matter the gear, can?t say I?ve ever noticed it bogging down at all or not being as responsive as it should low down but I have heard of a few like yourself reporting that it does, but they say it?s much better...

Well the long reign of commuting to work on the bike has came to an end, the torrential rain has finally arrived. I cannot remember a long spell of good weather that has ever lasted that long before, it?s been outrageous. Except for a downpour one Sunday morning it?s been ridiculously awesome...

It shouldn?t be that bad, what setting are you running it in? I have the same setup and it?s fine, standard system with the Akra GP slip on can. The Gen 4 runs wide band O2 sensors so it really shouldn?t be a problem. Running a full system that?s been mapped would make a difference, costly but...

Welcome along, bear with it, once you get used to it you?ll love it.

not sure if that?s a genuine question or not. Seeing as though it?s a geometry change as oppose to damping it will make a difference regardless of your size or weight.

Welcome along enjoy your stay

I?d imagine the MY23 will be similar to my MY22 but if the geometry is slightly different then it could affect the sag slightly. The standard springs are quite hard so for me I achieved the correct sag with 3 turns of preload on the front and none on the back, it comes from factory set to 0...

Test riding them all would be the ideal scenario, but I think you won?t go wrong with the S1000RR 2015 onwards. I?ve owned the 1299S, it?s a superb bike which for me like yourself was very comfy especially on the knees, I struggle with that and the narrow tank at the crotch helped loads. You...

which to be fair has been roughly 637 days now, feels like it anyway, melting the day.

Light skinny barstewards lol

MD clearly having handling issues, I noticed during his first pit stop he increased preload on the front 1 turn and during the second one he?s was gesturing towards the front end.

Bit of an anticlimax for me, was expecting it to be much closer with them all pushing each other. I wonder if he?ll go for a whore of a last lap if he?s got such a comfortable lead, looks likely that the outright lap record will still be held by the stocker.

good find, at least it?s something simple.

Not worth it imho, any issues it would be such a pain in the arse to send back and deal with. I?ve always purchased mine from the UK.
