Re: Alarm Fair point, well presented, overlooked by me, doh!!!! 😳😩

You could always try getting some old wheel balancing lead, safely melting it down and moulding it so it will fit in the bar end before you insert the weighted bar ends. 👍🏻

Hi everyone, I?m not having much luck finding any info on here on how I can successfully remove/bypass my alarm (that has just drained my brand new lightweight battery in approx 3 weeks!!!) and still keep her running. Can anybody please help me before I start to take it out which looks like...

Hi P, I'm not sure if you've had a reply or found out any info on your question but I'm lead to believe the OEM rear spring is rated at 8.5KG/nm. As for a suspension tuner near Bedford, I don't know of any (I live in Hertford) but I do know that a K-Tech valve kit upgrade in the front (?550-ish)...

Hi, as Stephen already knows following the same issue of being stuck in one mode, I've had to replace my entire switch gear at a cost of ?138 from a BMW main dealer as I couldn't find anything online for my 2010 at short notice,(I was due at Snetterton and needed a quick fix). It's great that...

Hi Stephen, sorry for the lengthy delay in replying, full time Dad-ing doesn't always lend itself to much free time. 😳😩😀 If you make it ?30, it's all yours. 👍🏻

In my opinion tyres are a personal choice and there's nothing wrong with trying shit loads before you find what's best for you. It took me about 10 years of trying lots of different ones to establish that my K1 GSXR1000 was really suited to the Dunlop SportSmart and then the Dunlop GP211 Racer...

Yes I do, why's that Stephen?

Neither light should be illuminated if the ABS and DTC are turned on i.e. working properly and your riding along. 👍🏻

Finally all sorted after relenting and bought a new mode switch. 👍🏻😩👍🏻

Hi, you can turn off/on the ABS and TC by pressing and holding the ABS/DTC button on your LH switchgear. Another thing to have a quick check for are the 2 x DTC sensors that are mounted at the front and rear wheels. They should ideally be approx 1.5mm - 2mm from the ring. Good luck and hopefully...

Hi Burtzeek, I've personally not actually removed the LHS casing so I don't honestly know what's behind it but all I would say is that if you're going to do it, take pics along the way so that you can refer back to them if needs be, and sorry for stating the obvious.

Hi all, having looked into this when changing my clutch plates and then snapping one myself, they're designed to snap easily in case of an off, the thought being that it's cheaper to replace a set of bolts (?13+vat from Lind Motorrad) than it is to replace the engine block if steel ones were...

Hi Paul, I haven't tried and have now taken the switch apart. What would that do out of interest? Cheers

And thank you Felix, I didn't know of those 2. They might be a bit too far for me as I'm a full time Dad with an 18 month old wee man and so I don't have the time to travel that far but I'll keep them in mind as an emergency location. 😩👍🏻

Hi Keith, that's disappointing to hear and hope your friend can find somewhere better. I've personally had too bad of a service from them so far but I've only been there a couple of times so things may change. I do a lot of the work myself, it's just the computer/tester/ECU work that I can't as...

Hi Felix, Do you know of anywhere that's better as I haven't come across any other BMW bike places, main dealer or independent close to where I live? 🤔😢

I'm not able to remove it until either tomorrow or Monday as I'm waiting for the right sized torx bit to arrive. I should then be able to get it off and posted to you but I'll let you know how I get on. Thank you. 👍🏻

Thank you Stephen, that's a great help. I'm due at Snetterton on the 17th of July and will be hoping that I can get it sorted before then. I'm investigating prices as we speak, the cheapest so far is a fair bit and a 2nd hand unit. Out of interest how quickly can you turn it around and...

Hi Alex, thank you for your reply. Nothing happens when I press the button with engine running and not and after spraying with WD40. She starts fine so I'm guessing it's the actual mode part of the switchgear. I'm scouring the t'interweb now to see if I can get one as that would appear to be the...
