    Lean angle gone missing

    Is this bigger BMW Battery actually something offered? I never found it when you build a bike on Motorrad's website nor any mention of it at the dealers or elsewhere? Cheers

For Rad guards, I also had a painful exp. last year on my 675 - never again with out a guard. I used a chap who I found on instagram first. He...

    Bought a clocked S1000rr

    This explains why the decal shape is an alien head for s1k's. You learn something new everyday. Master species using the master litre bike ;) p.s. OP Please clarify the post with more information..?

    Front Paddock Stand.

    I'm not married yet or that old cheeky 😝 It's enough but they'll sell well second hand Plus as above GeeTechs are ?300 & the Motorrad ones adjust to different bobbin and fork width immediately with nice wheels. I'll list them on here if I ever sell them .. would hope to get something back for...

    Front Paddock Stand.

    BMW Motorrad Front & Rear set for K46 / S1000RR Your nearest Motorrad dealer will be able to order them in. I paid ?320 for the set. Impressed with them as I nearly went for Gee-Tech welded stands as my second option (also pricey but very nice to look at)...

    After using a Warrior Spider stand on my other bike & having a full ABBA super bike lift stand in the garage its these two that Im using. Would recommend to anyone however I have only had these for 2 weeks so far - hence why they look immaculate in the photos ;) The front and rear adjust in...

    What's the Best tyre choice

    Looking to replace my OEM Bridgestone S20 evo's which have been great for fast road and occasional track use. ^^ Sounds like the New Pilot Power RS tyre by Michelin might be pretty close to what you need. I thought the S1000RR only came with Supercorsa 200's like mine did? I sold them on here...

    What Premier members can offer each other?

    As Im living in Southampton with a garage & spare room if anyone is planning a ferry journey abroad, its two miles from mine to the ferry port which might be more convenient for you gents if you plan an early ferry to stop over at mine the previous day and night.

    average speed cameras

    That's ok. I wear a pink / "red"jacket so hopefully my s1k will be mistaken for a shade of pink and confused with Jimmys HP4 😉 It's only front facing cameras. I'm also paranoid about the other side of motorways / lanes where the camera might have plate visibility though!

    2015 hard suspension feeling

    Are we riding the same bike? 2016? WOT 2/3 in Race mode the wheel barely comes up (maybe a foot) even trying it's just instant acceleration forward. Keeping it pinned and it doesn't lurch Sport mode means it comes up about half an inch 🙈 Before stopping the wheelie. Only over a crest and...

    Oh hello...

    How did you find the demo? My pops tried a 17 single R today. However with the limiter on and being 2C it was a bit of a dull / pointless time unable to exploit the power!

    Annoying insurance woes...& 2010 - 2012 s1000

    OP / DMilsey Did you have any luck in sorting out insurance? Did you find the correct solution to your biking situation? I'm 24 with 6 years NCB & it was a nightmare for me. I found that a HP4 Carbon would of been ?600 a year fully comp though 🙈 My issue as BeMoto told me was the value of the...

    2017 baffle removal

    Re: 2017 bad news or maybe good news Not sure that would work, part of Euro 4 is a greater emissions diagnostics testing to ensure on-going emissions compliance. Putting the previous headers and smaller CAT might kick off a few issues But if not grab a cheap Euro 3 set!
