    2012 Rear Shock

    I've been meaning to get the spring changed on my rear shock for some time but now it appears to have had it's day. The damping is almost non-existent as it tops out very fast regardless of damping adjustments. It is the original shock after all so probably been due a replacement for some...

    Mugs

    There was a guy on here 2 or 3 years ago selling mugs with a choice of S1 in different colours together with the specs. As I've just broken mine I was wondering if he's still on here and still selling them? Cheers, Mike

    2012 Wheels

    Does anyone know the weight of the standard 2012 model wheels? Still considering BST carbons but be useful to know the difference in weights. Thanks.

    Fuse for heated grips

    As per subject line... 2012 model RR, do the heated grips have their own dedicated fuse and if so where is it located? They just stopped working, don't even show on the dashboard when the button is pressed. Thanks.

    BST Carbon Wheels

    As per title, has anyone tried these on the S1 or HP4? If so, is the noticeable difference worth all that money? Ta, Mike

    Full Length Belly Pan

    I know this has already been brought up a couple of times, but can anyone recommend a full length belly pan for the 2012 which fits the standard fairing and covers the CAT? Ta, Mike

    02 Sensors

    A bit of a daft question but I've just put the standard exhaust system back on being careful to install the O2 sensors on the same sides as before, but now can't remember which side the wiring goes for each. Does the left sensor plug into the connector on the right side of the bike and vice...

    Unattached Pipe

    Was about to put the fairing back on and noticed a pipe which isn't connected to anything. It's the top section of a Y connector, think it's part of the tank breather but not sure. Can anyone clarify if this is supposed to be free? Seems a bit strange as the bottom pipe is open because that's...

    HID Headlight Conversion

    Looking at the possibility of upgrading at least the low beam to HID maybe high beam too, currently undecided. My mates are always saying you can hardly see the low beam light during daylight, so I want to become more visible. Does anyone have any recommendations for doing this? i.e. decent...

    2012 Gear Linkage

    I want to lower the gear lever down slightly and was wondering if this is likely to upset the standard shift assist in any way? Do I loosen and adjust the linkage rod between the arm (front) and shift assist or do I loosen the nut at each end? I'm thinking it's the first option but I guess if...

    Rattle in tank

    Hi. I know this has been mentioned before somewhere but I've had this very noticeable rattle coming from the front of the bike when going over small bumps. I took off the fairing and tank today to take a look but nothing appears loose or out of the ordinary, however, I have noticed inside the...

    Lights on Track Day

    Coming up to my first track day and have a question regarding the lights.... Does the headlight need to be turned off at the track? If so, is this done by pulling fuses (which one) and will this cause any other issues? If they are left on are there any issues I need to know about with regards...

    Can't upload photos

    Maybe it's just me being a bit dense but why can't I post photos /attachments? Posting permissions state posting of attachments is 'off'?

    Crash Helmets

    I'm looking to get a new helmet as my current Shoei is now a 'bit' old (oops). Since getting the s1k I've noticed the wind noise has increased massively due to the not-very-effective screen, although I always wear foam earplugs which help tons. Any recommendations on current lids? Ideally price...

    Crash Protection

    Looking at getting some crash protection for my first track day in February / March, anyone got any recommendations (apart from waiting til its warmer)? I like the style of the R&G Aero frame bobbins, also Evotech but there's a lot to choose from :-\

    Shift assist issue

    Is the standard shift assist sensitivity adjustable? Currently requires a very hard lift on the pedal to activate it which often results in a second attempt as the first wasn't strong enough. Maybe this is because the bike is new and has only done 250 miles? Thanks.

    Clutch adjustment

    Now, I'm probably being a bit lame here but is there an easy way to adjust the clutch biting point via the bottom cable adjuster as I don't seem to be able to reach it. The bike has only done 250 miles and the clutch is now biting very late in the lever travel. If I adjust it at the lever end...
