Hi,I've only just seen this post, probably too late but are these still available?

No issues with mine either.

Mine is flush with the second ring

I tend to agree that the BMW doesn't have masses of front end feel even in race pro modes but it still instills plenty of confidence, especially with sticky tyres. The thing that annoys me is when the bike gets described as lacking in character, it sometimes seems as though because it does...

Looks as though it's a conventional suspension set up instead of DDC which could put some people off having it as a road bike.

That looks awesome in black, congratulations! The clutch on my bike feels very 'grabby' when the bike is cold, once it has warmed up it feels fine, not sure if anyone else's is the same.

It's hard to believe I'm riding the same tyres that you're describing. Maybe the front end tucking feeling you're getting is because they are a very quick turning tyre. The s21's I have just replaced had a relatively flat profile, the rear looked wide and could have passed for a 200 section...

I'm very interested to hear what you think is so bad about the K3's and what tyre you prefer??

I've just changed from stock s21's to racetec rr's and I've got to say they feel amazing on this bike after having a particularly quick ride out at the weekend. I realise when changing to a pair of new tyres from a pretty worn old pair the bike always feels good but the way it turns in now is...

I would definitely get paint protection such as ventureshield, I didn't and my red sport at 3500 miles is getting well peppered on the front with light stone chips and one particularly bad one which needs touching up and 80% of the time I ride on my own. I bought BMW radiator and oil cooler...

I don't know what deal you got offered but I came across this today and thought it seemed a decent price https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143659431417

I've still got DTC turned on but in a less intrusive setting,I definitely don't fancy getting rid of that safety net all together lol Just the wheelie control I'm going to try turning off completely.

I was using dynamic mode all the time but on a particularly fast ride I was getting a pretty bad weaving powering out of corners which I put down to traction control cutting in, I also wanted full torque and less wheelie control so I set up a pro mode. I only weigh 70 kg and in the factory...

I agree with schuey about the mid range and had the same experience.... I wasn't wowed by it during the run in period but when I took it for the RIS the manager said I'd notice a big difference after it was done, to be honest I was very sceptical but it was like night and day and definitely...

I have the standard sport and can confirm it has the 3 race pro mode settings to customise ddc, dtc, wheelie control, abs etc, I was also able to access these before the first run in service.

I'm convinced even flies are chipping my paint lol... 1400 miles on mine now and only 140 of those with other riders and I've got lots of very light stone chips. Wish I'd got paint protection now but never had any real problems with chips on any of my other bikes so didn't bother,maybe they just...

I had mine serviced last week and they said if there are any updates they would be done automatically so in theory I should have the latest version 001-119-170

Maybe the 10% dynamic damping in race pro mode, when the bike is more or less upright(according to the artical I read) is to stop the for front forks diving under heavy braking and the rear squatting under hard acceleration to keep the bike stable, the rest of the time when the bike is leaned...
