Right, had to get AA out yesterday evening because when I came to start my bike at a mid way stop it wouldn't start. Lights all came on with the key and just as I was about to press start button the lights all went out and nothing. First I thought it was the starter switch as I got caught in...

I already have the one for the BMW cars and if anyone else has it you'll know how good this is. Thought I'd share this as there bringing one out for BMW bikes soon. Be interesting to see what it can do.

Hi, wondering if anyone could help me, I want to put my pillion seat on the bike but I can't figure out how to swap the locking mechanism around. Anyone done this? Really need to know by 6pm tonight. Thanks Dom

I ride my s1000 on the road (spirited riding) and my rear tyre only lasts about 2000miles before I'm down to the marker. Avon AV60 VP2 is the rear tyre. Anyone recommend some good sticky (yet last a while longer than 2000miles) tyres? Dom

Happened at the weekend, and only happens when riding. If I turn the engine off back on and try the indicators then, there fine and can stop them, but when on the move they turn on but won't disengage. Do we think it's the switch gear? Should I be contacting BMW to see if they'll replace it for...

My question is, is this a race one? I'm assuming it is as it there's holes that I can't figure out where there meant to connect to. It's on my bike with the front 4 holding it on, feels sturdy enough though... would there be a problem with me fitting it to my original fairings...?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390788684925 Am I right in thinking this isn't a belly pan? Because that is really cheap... If it isn't a belly pan what is it? And don't say pick up cover... Ha.

Just wondering if there was a way to get the speedo lights on constantly? As having a tinted visor I've noticed its a lot easier to see the speedo when it starts to get darker and the dials light up. Is there a sensor? Or a way to do it via set up? 10plate s1000

Just wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with this company on eBay? Thinking of buying some side tank panels for my s1000rr. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360403421373 Cant see any problem with them, but they seem to be cheaper than everywhere else...

Just come across my Facebook feed. Hope everyone one involved was alright.

Just a quick question, how do you clean your seat to get it back to looking brand spanking new? I got caught out in the rain a while back now and can't for the life of me get a stain (must be from my leathers as I don't remember a turtle head poking out ha) out. Can only see it in certain...

What's everyone's thoughts on these?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221427025880 What would you do with the old indicators?

A week ago today, my childhood friend at the age of 25 lost his life when a woman driver didn't check her mirrors! I hope your all extra careful when out because I can say first hand it was the worst day of my life watching it happen and being able to do nothing about it!! It's just a reminder...

Hi there, going to clean my bike at the weekend and was wondering how long it takes to take the fairings off? Roughly... Basically I took my bike to get a service at rainbow in Rotherham and they told me I had loads of salt all over the bike and it needed a thorough clean to avoid corrosion...

Just tried starting the bike on the maintenance stand so I could lubricate the chain and the battery is dead. I had to trickle charge it after the winter months which I wasn't surprised about but after going out on it Saturday and Sunday I thought it might be back to life. Turns out it's not...

Just wondering what everyone uses to keep their pride and joy safe? I have a disc lock on the back, steering lock on and a oxford chain through the front tyre of the s1000 and rear tyre of two other bikes and a ground anchor with the padlock that has an alarm. Now I see a problem with the...

Right guys and girls. I'm new to the BMW motorbike scene having only purchased my s1000 just before Christmas. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with either of the two BMW dealers service wise. Good or bad. There's Allan Jeffries in Shipley And Rainbow Motorcycles in Rotherham...

Been in Australia for 3weeks (fly home tonight) and I've just seen my first s1000rr in white since being here. Went past me on the bus, gutted wasn't the word. Can't wait to get home to mine now!

Right, this is going to sound silly, but how do you get the seat cowel off? I know you use the key, but when the back lifts off the front part next to the seat does come away. I can see in but it looks like it's bolted down :s

Just thought I'd ask this question now and get the answers I'll need now rather than later. Bought some headers, ordered a danmoto decat pipe, just wondering after I've fitted them both to my Akro stubby end can, do I need to get the bike tuned/dyno'd? Or will it be fine to run without? Don't...
