Looking to use my standard cast wheels as a spare set of wheels with wet tyres on. For that to happen i need to a 43T 520 rear sprocket. All the sprockets i can find are for the forged wheels, which have a different fitment. Any know of any? Thanks.

Pulled the airbox velocity actuator off by mistake when removing the airbox earlier. Getting the actuator pin lined back up with the locator on the velocity stack arm was a bit of a pain. Essentially i lifted the stacks to their 'up' position which meant the motor just about lined up with them...

Just wrapped up my track project, i'm pretty happy with the result. First outing at Silverstone on Monday :)

I'm trying to fit Brembo HPK supersport discs (5.5mm thickness) to my S1000RR. Being a standard base model bike, it previously had the thinner standard discs. I'm having trouble getting enough spread in the calliper pistons with new pads to fit the new discs in. With both callipers off the...

Just fitting some CRC fairing and there is a bracket for mounting them that attaches to the side stand mount on the frame. I can't easily see a way that you can retain the side stand with the bracket fitted as the stand does not clear it. Also, if you don't fit the side stand and just have the...

Planning on fitting a RCS17 master cylinder for the standard Hayes callipers whilst i'm putting my new clip-ons on. I'm fairly competent with the tools but have not fitted a master cylinder before. What the rough procedure and what bleeding process works best. I plan on buying a speed bleeder...

Can someone please help answer me these questions. All in relation to replacing the standard (non forged / non carbon wheels) on a gen 4. 1 - Do forged HP wheels from a Gen 3 fit? Does anything else need to be changed, spacers / discs / sensor rings etc? 2 - I assume a set of OZs will slot...

I thought seeing as i've just signed up for the premium membership here i'd write up my progress and story with my Hockenheim silver S1000RR. It all started in December 2018 when I placed an order for a M-sport edition which I had seen at the NEC showed and loved it. Roll on to August 2019...

Has anyone tried running a gen 4 with a 200 profile tyre on the standard cast wheels (which normally take 190). I have a couple of 200 profile slicks from my RSV4 i want to use. I assume they will be fine like the gen 3, if i remember correctly you were supposed to get the TC recalibrated, but...

I'm just about to order a full Akrapovic which I plan on fitting myself. Anything I need to know first? I've done some searching and seen some people say it throws an error code and light on dashboard and others saying it does not. From what i've seen the fueling seems pretty spot on too with...

On the 2019, if you drop the pressures below what it 'thinks' it acceptable, it throws a huge wobbly with errors everywhere taking up the entire dash screen and red flashing lights. This can be handy if you wanted to take the bike on track or change brand of tyres which recommend different...

I'm thinking of dropping -1 tooth on the front sprocket, I do this on most of my bikes. The bike is a 2012 S1000RR Sport with ABS/TC etc. So am i right in thinking this will not mess up the speedo as it's run off the wheel speed sensor and not the gearbox? Also, will this effect the traction...

My top yoke nut has cracked, see here http://imgur.com/OJKRz1e it seems this has happened before to others. I can't be bothered with the hassle of dealing with BMW and a new nut is only ?20 so I'm happy to replace it myself. I have the tools and know the torque setting. My question is... is...

Hi guys, I pick my 2012 S1000RR up on Saturday from Birmingham, pretty excited :) Anyone else from around Oxfordshire?
