Mine has the optimate on to look after the battery and I run the engine for just 20 seconds or so every 3 weeks. Just enough time to get oil up into the head and around the camshafts and cylinder bores but not long enough to partially warm the engine and cause condensation and therefore acid...

Hey Flymo, I'm glad to hear you got your pride and joy back. I would want to know that feeling when you look out to see where your bike once stood. I have the factory alarm fitted and often wonder how good it is? Was your alarm set when it was nicked and you were at work? What year is your...

Tastefully done Sir. I like it a lot. Decals?

Yup, ITV4, Sky 120 . They have already shown 3 Pre TT programms, 21:00 all this week

Im on Island right now as well, sun is shining, woohoo. Sadly the mountain road keeps getting closed. Have to drink tea in Parlimnet square and wait. Anyone going to try their launch control at the Ramsey sprint?

Yes Flurbs, excellent build quality and finish, well packaged. It also comes with high temp joint lube and a spring puller plus another Arrow decal, nice touches. I made my own carbon hangar bracket to suit. I am assuming it will still pop and bang as before. I forgot to mention it weighs in at...

Fitted my Arrow X-cone slip on and link pipe on Sunday. Havent had chance to run it yet as its pouring down today, but im happy with the look.

Mine is corroded as well, very poor show from BMW not providing a plated chain. I mentioned it to the dealer at Run in Service, they didnt want to know.

eccentric shock mount ?? really?

When you say "spin the washer" are you refering to the pair of castellated nuts usually found on rear shocks ? adjusted with a "C" spanner? my 2015 rear shock has a hexagonal pre load / ride height adjuster that moves the spring collar. Or are you refering to something else.

Did yours come with edge trim as well? It looks clear, is it ? I have a light tint. Nice quality eh?

Ok, here is a link to the windscreen posting on the other s1000rr forum. Can you see them now ? 3 images. same user name. http://www.s1000rrforum.com/forum/bmw-s1000rr-general-discussion/115257-installed-new-screen-my-2015-a-2.html Im not setting up another account to copy pictures to that and...

Up to 7000 RPM for the first 300km. This gives 105 MPH in top. then up to 9000 RPM until 100km, this gives 125 MPH in top or there abouts, no too shappy.

I can't claim discovery of that info, but I am passing it on.:encouragement: when you place a torx bit into a bolt or screw head on our bikes and then try a torx plus in the same place, you can feel that the plus is a nicer fit.

I purchased a set from the bay, Sykes Pickavant. 15.99 for the same reason. Remeber you need Torx Plus not plain old Torx. It's a nice touch that BMW use Titanium bolts in the engine.

racetec k3's on mine.

I will be there and the Nw200 as well. Douglas sea front in the evening, bushy's beer tent live music every night. Mad Sunday, after your blast round, go to Peel ( peel day) Also go to Jurby airfield anyday to see teams setting up bikes and doing runs up the runway. Nothing Bad, its ALL GOOD. So...

Thank you for the reply, that is to much like hard work to set up yet "another account" ( username and password) in order to link images....should be easier than that this day and age. Thanks anyway

Thanks for the reply, seems like a lot of trouble to go to, another username and password etc... i just joined the other s1000rr forum and it was easy to attach or embed an image. was just trying to show you guys my new powerbronze double bubble screen.

im looking for FAQ's to understand how to attach images. The first post I made, i attempted to attach images, it didnt go well. Please can someone give me the wisdom ? many thanks.:calm:
