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...

It'll be late... https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2023/march/bmw-s1000rr-lever-issue/

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...

Is a broken RHS heel guard an easy fix? Hurt my back so can't get down to look at it, need to decide if I wait until back better to fix myself or get it done for me - assuming back is better I need it for a track day in a couple of weeks... I can't tell if it is as simple as accessing screws...

After checking the bike was working fine after winter I made the mistake of leaving it unplugged from the trickle charger?8 days ago, and it?s totally flat. Which means that it?s gone past the point where simply attaching the charger des any good because the UVP kicks in and the charger can?t...

I have a 2 compartment recycling bin - I've just replaced it with another one, and I was hoping to sell it. The compartments have plastic inners, and the bottom of one has a big crack in it - nothing has broken off. Seems to me that it just needs strengthened and it'll be good for years. I see...

Anyone use one of these? When its is first attached it seems to do some checks and then start charging. The display shows charge percent on top row of display and both current and voltage on the bottom row. The voltage never seems to vary but after a while the current seems to drop, from 1-1.5...

I see the first BSB test times list a certain L Haslam on a BMW. I know it's Hickman and Brookes at FHO, and Danny Buchan is still with Synetiq - I don't think Leon is his teammate, are TAS running two bikes this year, if so who's on the 2nd one?

Where's worth thinking about for accommodation near Anglesey circuit? Booked Jamie Whit for Sep. Is it best to stay in Bangor/Caernarfon or head onto the island? Cheers

Maybe folks can post all the BF deals they see here? I've been waiting to see what Black Friday deals come up. Mostly I am hoping for a deal on GB Racing covers for a Gen 4, which I've seen in previous years. However this year BF and the NEC show are the same week, maybe that's why nothing has...

I hope I am not spoiling anyone's watching of the Moto3 race at the weekend, it was really nice to see the winner celebrate after a terrible year. There were some statements made in the BT Sport coverage that have made me wonder what's going on. I know we won't know the full truth of things but...
