Had my RT serviced there and they gave me a scooter as a courtesy bike which ran out of petrol on the A303 as it had a faulty fuel gauge. When I went to part exchange the RT I had a trial ride on a S1000RR which broke down in the outside lane of the A31. I don't know why I ever went back there...

Plus one on Bahnstormer either Maidenhead or Alton. I've used Vines of Guildford before but they are now on my definitely to be avoided list.

I've just returned from a 1200 mile four day tour of France and can honestly say this bike is perfect for touring on. No aches and pains and lower back problems. Ive got Helibars fitted, a Sargent seat and with the HP rear sets I have a great riding position. My previous bikes were an RT and a...

Just watched the video and think it's a good idea which saves having to carry a disc lock around. I don't know if it will be any better than the top end disc locks but it certainly seems more convenient. I'm off to France in the morning and the majority of my luggage weight is from my Almax...

Whilst waiting for the dealer to book me in I had an afternoon on the bike and the quickshifter has returned to normal after about 30 miles. I don't understand these things and maybe the software adjusted as I rode. Anyway it works great again so I've cancelled my return to the dealer.

I've got it installed. I've gone into User Mode and the settings under ABS were Slick, Race & Sport. I don't know what they were before so I hope this helps answer your question. When I turn on the bike ABS Pro is displayed regardless of what mode I had the bike in. Happy to help further.

I have been using the ultimate ear for a few years now and have found them extremely comfortable and blocking out a significant amount of noise. I forgot them yesterday and immediately noticed how loud the bike is without them. They have also brought out a little cream to apply to them. This...

Thanks for that, although I'm struggling to see why we are given the choice of settings as surely you want the information as quickly as possible and will leave it on fast. Surely there must be something more to it than that to have three settings!!!

ABS Pro fitted today which should have only taken 90 minutes to install so I waited. 5 hours later it was finally completed due to problems with the software and a delay in the code being sent from Germany. Just to piss me off further I have discovered on the way home that my quickshifter is now...

Please can someone explain what the differences are in setting the bank display to fast, medium or slow. I've tried all three and don't notice any difference.

I have just seen an advert for HEL braided brake lines for the 2015 ABS which looks appealing. Apart from the marketing which sounds good please can the forum members tell me what advantage if any they would have over the OEM. Would you do front and back?

I got mine from Nippy Norman in carbon. The non carbon affect one is much cheaper but the carbon one looks good on the bike. I keep the bag on all the time and I really like that it only takes a few seconds to put on and take off the bike. I also like the fact that it does not obstruct my...

I had my test run on an s1k with the standard screen and felt that the buffeting was catching my chin and pushing my head up. I bought my bike with the BMW larger tinted screen and it has done the job of moving the air on to the top of my lid.

What chain brand did you chose?

I've just booked mine in with Vines, Guildford for a couple of weeks time. Initially they told me it was not available but on checking they said it is now. I was quoted ?422 as well.

From the pieces i bought off Albert i would say that they are a little more than companies like Jap4 and the Carbon King etc but about 30 to 40 % cheaper than Illmberger. However as Albert will tell you the Fullsix is top notch carbon. I am sure the prices differ depending on how much you order...

Carbon fuel tank next ?

I've got an Illmberger hugger and chain guard and later bought a full six swing arm protectors and the carbon pattern looks pretty much identical. The quality of both is superb but the full six is significantly less once Albert of APM Project gives you a discount.

Re: Tyre Wear The pressures are set as per the manual, I will check the accuracy of my foot pump tomorrow at the local MOT centre. What suspension settings would be wrong on the bike for the front to wear quicker than the rear, so I can look to change them. I think they are all currently set to...

If I was doing that I think I would have noticed brown stains in my pants.
