I have read the Zumo forums on the 350LM posted by me in 2014 and it is a problem only with this model and canbus systems. The power lead from the Zumo has a black plastic box which converts 12v to 5v which the 350 runs off. It is this conversion which has been causing so many issues with the...

How have you connected it to the bike at the moment using the Nippy Normans adaper. I have the 350 and from memory it was attached by my mechanic to a connector behind the fairing specifically for this. Mine works perfectly. Historically there is a problem with the 350 not powering down and...

I would also consider putting the bike back to stock as much as possible and selling the parts separately. As mentioned above in a previous thread your first point of call should be the finance company as technically the bike belongs to them and is not yours to sell.

I was looking into pro bolts purely for cosmetic reasons, blue for the fairing and gold for the unsprung. Can someone explain the difference between the titanium and aluminium ones from a strength and longevity point of view. The aluminium are lighter and cheaper and the titanium ones are four...

Thanks, my hand tight always ends up with that last little tweak and snap.

Sorry guys i can't seem to open the manual using a mac so another torque question for someone to simply answer. Ive removed the front mudguard four bolts to add a fender extender and need the torque settings for these bolts. Any pointers on opening the online manual for Mac would be most...

Yep sold an Ohlins shock to guy in Poland. eBay do all the hard work and postage. You send it off to their hub and they send it on. It's opened up a whole new second hand market that you can trust. I also bought a rad guard for my Honda from a dealer in France. It stopped the handlebars turning...

I've recently bought a Rukka Airman jacket and as you would expect from Rukka its top quality. It's great for just a normal sunny day or hotter and if it's chilly in the morning or evening just zip in the liner. Like all Rukka stuff it's not cheap, but my ?1000 Rukka Armas jacket is still...

I'm doing the Masters. The hard bit is that you are expected to make progress at every opportunity. You may think you do that in any case but compared to the instructors idea and mine I need to quicken up. If there's even a hint of an overtake and if you think about it first for a split second...

Oh I forgot to mention that I already have Venture shield fitted which I think is the best product for protecting the vulnerable areas on the bike. This nano coating sits on top of the Venture Shield. It will also remove the unsightly dirty marks you get on the edges of Venture Shield and stop...

I'm getting a nano coating professionally fitted this Friday after bumping into the guy who does it for Bahnstormer at their Alton branch when I called in for a brew on a ride. I had my new car done at Ultimate Finish. Stephen mentions he was disappointed with the water marks left after he had...

Yep you will see my angry post on Facebook. It is at odds with my first experience but the latter one has been nothing short of disgraceful. I am more gutted as I really wanted to do the courses and knew I would benefit greatly from them, as I did with MC1. What annoys me the most is if at least...

Hi Javlin, what size shims did you use and what torque for the bolts as BMW are not listed in the attached manual.

From their website, hope it's true: The ROADLOK is the ONLY motorcycle lock in the world that cannot damage your bike or hurt you if forgotten in the locked position. Just imagine trying to ride off with your front brake lever pulled tightly...your bike will just stall.

Does anyone know what the measurements of the BMW double screen is compared to the Zero Gravity sports touring screen. The Zero Gravity screen on Calsport is shown as 43.3 cm the point of the v at the front to the top of the screen, 17.1 cm high and 43.5 cm wide. Strangely the sports touring...

Ordered the roadlok and it arrived today. I haven't fitted it yet but did pop it on the scales so I can share its weight, 534g. I will post some photos after fitting.

I'm getting my bike done on Friday with AdvancedNanoCoating.co.uk for ?280 . Full clean with paint sealant. Should make cleaning the bike and wheels a lot easier and repel the dirt for longer. I've had the car down and it's just superb stuff.

I'm doing my masters at the moment but struggling to get to the standard to pass but it is work in progress. My score has improved with each ride but a long way to go. My hat goes off to you Gixxer in getting a first, that is an excellent achievement you should take a lot of pride in. I got a...

I was booked with i2i last week to do Machine Control 3 at Bovingdon. Guess what Tom never turned up, didn't answer his phone or reply to any emails. A whole week later and I have head nothing back since and no word of an apology. All phone calls and emails have gone unanswered. A whole group of...

I have started to use a product called Aqua gleam to rinse the bike off after I have finished washing it. Not a single watermark anywhere on the bike and especially on the back of the screen where you can't reach it. Saves having to take the screen off.
