    Decal application

    A few drops of washing up liquid in water will do. I use a spray bottle, wetting both surface and sticker. Completely soak them. Peel back and spray again. Position lightly, check and if wrong, peel off and spray again and try again. Once right squeeze the water out from the centre, outwards...

    R&G Tank Traction Grips

    A bit late for the op but for anyone else, I had the same issue in a 2011 bike. They do not fit. I returned then and got some clear one from China. Fit perfectly.

    S1000rr Stink of petrol normal?

    OK. Found the source of the petrol stink. It is coming from the track vent pipe at the front just below the exhaust. The pipe end is wet to the touch even half an hour after the bike being switched off. The petrol inside was at about 35C. Alot of heat soak from the cat and engine warming it...

    S1000rr Stink of petrol normal?

    Doing some pressure checking of the pump now to see if there is a system leak or leaky injectors. Does anyone know for a fact if the fuel pump is primed when the ignition is turned on? Reason I ask is that I am getting mixed messages as to when the pump is primed - on ignition or on start...

    S1000rr Stink of petrol normal?

    It is mechanically stock. Original exhaust and cat. Checked all the fuel lines, tank and connectors. They are fine. No drivability issues that I can notice.

    S1000rr Stink of petrol normal?

    Guys. Every time I park up my 2011 s1000rr in the garage it absolutely stinks for hours and the smell goes into the house. Doesn't matter whether it's a short journey or a long one. Is this normal for the s1000rr? Anyone able to share their experiences. Thanks

    Hole in airbox - is this normal

    Cheers. Thought so. Realised it was on the outer side of the filter not the inner. Would have expected a little drain pipe going down - but then again that would add a "bit of weight".

    Hole in airbox - is this normal

    Hi guys. In my s1k 2011 I noticed a hole in the airbox when I was checking the air filter. Should it have a pipe on it or something? It is on the left filter side when sitting on the bike.
