I can confirm my bike is now an OAP. ...a fast, noisy OAP :applouse: still going strong and eating supercars for breakfast. av 19k per year since Oct 2014.

Any one going? I'm riding up to Haysham for the ferry on the 7th. Good 400 hack from South coast for me. First time visit Hope the bike holds up. Will break 60k on the way back i estimate. Told Michael Dunlop I've got his spare superstocker :congratulatory: Hutchy, Lee Johnston and MD all...

Take it easy anyone out and about today. Roads are Greasy like Grease the musical, straight to DVD Rosso Corsas are a bad choice. That is all.

She's in need of some TLC... I'll let you guys know the prognosis. the top end is sounding umm well,, pretty rattly. making good smooth power but i think i might need another cam chain, last one was at 32k. it was hanging off the pulley like a 'wet pair of pants' according to the tech. Have...

Mine just emptied itself over the front tyre and calipers on the M23.... the hole is top right and not in the squashed fin zone behind the tyre. done 54k appreciate anyone have a spare? or tips on where to go? Main Dealer collecting to inspect, warned the front tyre and pads could be...

Perfect timing for a gremlin, with the dark commuting hours. sigh Appreciate any tips. I've dropped off at chandlers BMW for a check over this morning. Basically, the dipped & main beam cut out (leaving only side lights on) leading me to believe bulbs or fuses to be the issues. but they came...

Hi all, A little advice please? Having just clocked over 52k on my '64 Gen 2. The only thing really showing it's age is the suspension. (no active stuff on this old girl) ride is getting choppy and when pushing on / exiting bends it feels a little squirmy, but not tyre squirmy (this is GP...

Anyone have exp of these? They look pretty good.. https://www.clearwaterlights.com/products/darla-s1000r https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDrzOjEhVCA Thanks!

Quick one. After the full Akra system and db killer addition. Hill Top flashed the ECU and i've got ... 188 bhp at the rear wheel @ 88 lb'ft happy with that! not bad for 47k engine? maybe that is close to 200+bhp at the crank? the tune only gained me 8bhp at the top end but over 13 lb'ft...

.. it's not full factory... more scrapheap challenge. but... it fits... looks ok and brings the system down to 'acceptable' levels ..i.e. you don't ooze blood out of your ears... and the extra bit of back pressure solves 90% of the fluffy throttle response too. still pops and bangs... feels...

Hi all, I'm having my full SS Akra system put on today at a BM main dealer as the original rusted through. (gen 2 '14 plate) I'm also now pretty skint so can't splurt another ?500+ on custom tuning & fuel modules etc yet.. Leaving the fuelling stock (just K&N), will that do any damage to...

..My stubby Akrapovic for a regular sized Ti / carbon end can? for Gen 2 ('14 ) I've got the full system coming to replace my rusted out OE system and matched with my stubby Akra can... but i'm going to blow my ears to bits. Not sure on the cost diff anyway? Thanks all!

Mine is wobbling about as the hinge is now knackered. Before i try ebay.... maybe someone has one? Thanks. R

My '14 bike @ 44k Think it's run-in now..

You can't leave your bike anywhere these days without some ragamuffin playing on it :p [/URL]

Just a FYI If you let your rear disk get too thin... it confuses the electronics somehow. don't know why. but that was the overview from BMW after i was stranded on the hard shoulder, as every time i rolled off the throttle the bike braked HARD. then capped my revs to 4k. in Race mode. TC...

Mine has been flagged as worn out while they replaced chain / sprocks today. I'm told its about ?70 parts + labour etc.. can i claim it's a manufacture fault? or suck it up and replace... sorry if talked about before. curious if it was made an offical BMW BooBoo Ta

..i know its -6 deg c and all, but had to wait in the petrol station with the engine running after my commute (62 miles), as the key wouldn't turn at all... eventually it popped but need to somehow protect the mechanism from jamming up... WD40? ACF-50? any ideas?

So, just FYI. I've hit 33k of year round, rare wash mileage (64 plate). I rolled into my main dealer for a well overdue tinker. Everything was ok with the bike on the whole, i needed valves doing and few consumables, plugs, filters, brake fluid etc... it was down on power too ... but just a...
