I have never bother checking the range on a full tank of fuel before, but am off to France/Belgium/Germany next week and with the strikes on i'd like to know what a 'typical' range might be. I know it depends on a number of factors, but an indication would be useful. We are planning to travel...

Just purchased some of these and i need a bit of info as i've not got access to my bike at the moment. Obviously being Italian the instructions are limited so i was wondering which corner of the bike the slider that is different to the rest goes on (i.e. the one with recess on it)? Cheers Simon

I have got R&G aero crash protectors fitted to my bike, but i would like to replace them with Lightech ones as i think they look nicer. My question is - my bike came with the R & G ones fitted (no fairing cut type) so do they replace standard bolts with R & G specific ones? If they do will i...

The front wheel on my bike has some damage on it and this is a good excuse to get some new wheels for it. I have Dymags on my blade, but i really love the look of the multi spoke wheels that come as standard. I'd like some advice on what people have fitted to their bikes please and what they...

I have recently got from a mate a new titanium Akro full system for my bike (2012). It came with a sport cat. My question is:- what do people usually do when they fit a full system, fit the cat or fit a link pipe in its place? Cheers Simon

As my BMW is not my only road bike, I was thinking of converting it to a trackday bike. If I was to proceed with this, aside from the track bodywork, what should I be looking to do, what shouldn't I do, what's cost effective, what's not etc, etc. I'm by no means a hardcore trackday specialist...

If you have fitted a Ventura rack, can anyone tell me if when looking from the back of the bike, do the arms of the rack obscure (from a visual perspective) the small grills (or whatever they are) in the sides of the tail fairing. The reason I ask is that I have fitted Motodynamic indicator in...

Can anyone help with this issue please? I have fitted Watsen Design indicators (including the resistors) to the front and Motordynamic flush mount (including the resistors) to the back. Turned on the ignition and checked the flash rate for both sides - awesome and no error code on the dash...

Hi, What type of connectors are people using to connect aftermarket indicators to the existing wiring once they have cut into it? I usually use bullet crimps, but was wondering if anyone uses something better. Cheers Simon

Hi, There is a lot of travel on my rear brake pedal (2012 model) before it starts to operate. It's been like this since new according to the previous owner (who I know well). Is this normal? It's just that according to the workshop manual there should only be about 2mm of free play between the...

Hi, Has anyone used the Wunderlich oil cooler guard? If so what do you think? cheers Simon
