My car is a beemer, which came with run flats (Conti Sportcontact SSR). I'm going to need new fronts soon. My local tyre place asked me if I wanted to keep the run flats - I've not had a car tyre puncture in 20 years, and I can do a roadside repair if I ever get one, so I'm not that bovvered...

Hicky and Davey Todd move to a new team, FHO down to one bike, according to Crash.net. BSB website only mentions Mikhalchik going to FHO… Who are 8TEN racing? Factory supported at least…

I see some of the motorcycle press is today reporting that EuroSport is being effectively emerged into TNT. It's happening in 28th Feb. I have what used to be BT Sport, and I get Eurosport TV channels. I'm not sure if they are being rebranded as additional TNT Sport channels, or being...

Down at the dealer this morning, just for an MOT. There's a check going on for oil filters. If it says Made in Brazil then it needs changed... apparently they have changed their minds about using them on 4 cylinder bikes. Nothing urgent, so not a recall, just a campaign

...says my Gen 4s first MOT. Slightly is doing the heavy lifting there, it's very subtle but it's definitely there. I won't bother posting a picture cos you can't see it. How quickly should I be running off to Motoliner in Maidstone with this, do folk get it repaired immediately, or if you...

Just in case anyone uses it, doesn't get emails. Consolidating everything at Alton...

Trying to wire up a new Sat Nav cradle for my R, got some questions about the wiring. My 2020 R (but assume same wiring as a Gen 3) has a BMW cradle for a BMW Navigator Sat Nav. The cradle has broken, and as I have a Zumo these days anyway I thought I'd changed the mount as Garmins now use use...

I took my Gen 2 out on an overnight trip a couple of weeks ago. It started fine and I got to my destination no issues. The next morning I tried to start it whilst sitting on it - kick stand up. It did start but didn't sound happy.. on my way back I had to stop twice and getting going again was...

I'm trying to fix the mirror on the 2020 S1R (old shape). The right hand OEM stalk mirror was dislodged, and it now flaps about when I am riding. When you pull up the rubber cover you see two nuts, as per pic, which need to be adjusted. They look like they should separate, with the bottom one...

My 21 RR came with a Racefit end can, which sounds amazing and makes you smile... but it's too loud for many tracks. I did buy an OEM end can for that, so I can just swap between them as needed. I'm wondering if the Akra end can is a good compromise. The OEM end can is too quiet, and doesn't...

Happy New Year everyone. I have been thinking about putting down some floor tiling in my garage. I have a fairly modern garage (12yo), with a concrete floor. It isn't quite smooth enough for my bike stands and mechanics chair, all of which have small castors, to move around as freely as I'd...

Visordown reporting this https://www.visordown.com/news/general/silverstone-cancels-2024-motorcycle-track-days Says they are back in 25... anyone know what's happening?

I did this in Anglesey a couple of weeks ago. I'll be asking lots of Qs about this and especially getting a Gen 4 comfortable on track soon enough. For now, just wondering about the pics. Two definite advantages of these events are reduced numbers on track, so lots of room. They also give you...

so it starts.... at the end of September my car insurance is due, and about a week later the bikes need insured. Not sure what to expect re bikes because a few members have posted here about BeMoto losing some underwriters, with bad things happening to quotes, but I'll deal with that when the...

Like many I have put TST lights on my bike. I have never been too sure that they are strictly legal, but I asked some policemen at the bike show and they weren't bovvered at all. There must be loads of bikes that have been MOTd with them by now and I haven't seen anyone complain, but I was at...

My black Gen 4 came with a painted cowl. I am looking for a cheap pillion seat for occasional use (so even ?200 for a used OEM is not worth it), wondering about others' experiences of fleabay products - fit, quality, appearance The plan for travelling is to use Kriega bags mounted on a Hepco &...

I hope no-one is insured with them...

I was taking my bike out (2020 R) the garage today and I noticed that the Akra's carbon heat protector and carbon end piece have some grazing, i.e. damage at both ends. I think I brushed the exhaust up against the garage wall getting it out a while back, so that explains the rear scuff. This is...

Has anyone seen these new PRIME signs they've been trialing in parts of western Scotland? https://www.visordown.com/news/general/primed-ride-new-motorcycle-road-markings-explained I think the idea of the article is that they are phycological tricks that encourage better road position - they...
