I had my Gen4 RR in for it's annual service and the dealer noticed some leakage from one of the front calipers and the gloss black shark fin had snapped. It's going to the dealers in a few days for the replacement calipers, but they're suggesting the fin is my problem. I thought that quite a...

I forgot that I'd followed this lot on facebook. The US models are now available for pre-order, with euro ones to follow once they've worked out the wiring (I assume for the indicators)

Am I missing something or do we need to remove the exhaust to remove the rear hugger?

Out of the blue I got a call from the dealer, and picked up my M-Sport today.... crap weather, new tyres, but still super excited. Anyway I want to add some crash / drop protection. On my previous 2 RRs I had R&G aero bungs, but wanted to hear what you crazy people have installed and if your...

Hi, I'm looking for a left hand side mirror for my '16 RR, but I believe they're the same across the RR range. If anyone has one for sale please shout! Thanks, Phil

When turning tightly into my garage I heard a strange creaking noise from the front end on my '16 RR (with DDC). Since then I noticed a couple of times, usually at slow speed when turning sharply (it sometimes sounds like a spring). Bank holiday Monday I was out with the Mrs and I'm sure I could...

When replaced my screen I pinched and distorted a few of the washers. Then I scratched the screen (another storey) and now have a replacement screen, but I can't find anywhere to get the washers from. I think the product code (from realoem) is 46638554372, does anyone know where I can get some...

Jerking and snatchy throttle that is...... Now that I've got your attention I took my '15 RR to the dealer as I felt that the throttle was not quite right, but I couldn't communicate it very well, and the dealer reported back that they couldn't find any problems. Anyway roll forward to this...

Will I have any problem with future warranty claims if I replace my chain and sprockets with D.I.D, Renthal, or any other non-OEM one?

When my RR was in the shop I test rode a GS and a GSA. I preferred the GSA, but it's just too wide for my commute, and the GS just fails in the all important grin factor for me. So..... a friend suggested that I look at the KTM Super Adventure, does anyone have any experience on one (I'm...

I bought an Austin Racing GP1 slip on, and like someone else that I've seen on here manged to melt my trousers against the link pipe. I've got most of the residue off, but was wondering if you could buy a carbon link pipe cover. Anyone seen one for sale anywhere?

When I got into work this morning I noticed the screw that clutch lever pivots on was sticking out by about 5mm. I have tightened it so that the level doesn't fall off, but the screw rotates with the clutch lever. this doesn't seem right to me, and I'm guessing this is why it has come loose. I...

This may be old news but for those of you with bluetooth headsets I've just found the Tomtom Speed Camera app for my phone. I've set it up so that it starts when my Scala connects to my phone via bluetooth and it gives an audible alert when nearing a speed camera. Found it really useful as...

A car turned right across me last week, slammed on the anchors but still hit the side of the car with some force... just go the parts (so no labour) estimate from the dealers.... ?11,250 (2015 RR, bought in April). Pretty sure that it'll be a write-off with that parts bill, especially as it will...

Last week my quick-shifter started to behave erratically, after 5-10 minutes of my commute it would stop working for up shifts, and then intermittently for down shifts. I booked it in to my BMW dealer (Vines) to take a look at, and on the way there it worked fine and I was thinking "bloody...

I have the HP levers on my RR and the clutch seems to have a lot of play. From my reading of the manual it should have between 0.5mm and 1.0mm of play. But I've tightened the adjuster at the lever as much as it will go, and there's nearer 2.5mm of slack still. Is this ok, or should I be...

I had R&G case covers and HP leavers + Rearsets fitted by the dealer when I bought my RR. After a while I noticed a metallic rattling noise. I found that one of the bolts holding the right hand side case on had worked itself almost lose! The dealer put it back in and tightedned it (it was under...

Hi, Can anyone tell me the torque that you are meant to use on the bolt that connects the exhaust to the right rearset? I've looked in the service data, but can't see anything using a T45 bolt! Help! Thanks, Phil.

Guys - I've got a 2015 RR with all of the options except the wheels. What sort of estimated value should I put down for my insurance?

I've got the Bridgestones on my '15 RR from new. So far I've done about 1,500 miles, but have a trip to Germany planned in June and will be doing between 1,500 and 2,000 miles. It will likely have 2,000 miles on the clock before I set off, so my question is.... Do you think that I'll need to...
