I have a gen 3 2015 which is mainly used on track, however I do want to keep it road compliant in case I need to take it on the road on rare occasions. I mainly do the IAM skills days and ride at Castle Coombe on my own club days and the BMW days at Snetterton. I would say I am not a fast rider...

I had my suspension set up today by Perry at HM Racing. Best ?108 I?ve spent on the bike. Very friendly service and I can highly recommend them if you are in the south east. Heres a print out of my settings.

Can anyone explain why my front tyres are wearing out quicker than my rears. Is this bike set up, riding style etc. My current Michelin Power RS front and rear were changed at the same time. I have 2mm left on the front and 4mm left on the rear. I do 2k Miles approx on road and about 6 IAM...

I have a 2015 gen 3 with a full titanium Akra system, however it is too loud for the noise test at my local track at Castle Coombe ( 3/4 rev range, 12000 rpm at 105 dB). My bike tests around 107-108. I really want to start using this track as my club hire it exclusively several times a year and...

A couple of weeks ago I washed and dried the bike and put it away. A short while later I discovered the ignition was turning on and off despite no key being present. This caused my lithium battery to be destroyed . The bike was recovered and the ignition switch was replaced ( not covered under...

I cleaned my bike yesterday, dried and polished it and put it away. On going to the garage a few hours later I noticed the ignition was on, even though the keys weren’t in the ignition. This led to the lithium battery being totally drained. I disconnected the battery to stop the issue and...

I have a full Akra system which has been on the bike for three years. For two years there was never any Engine Management Fault lights. Recently the bike starting making a horrendous buzzing and crackling noise on start up. I took it to BMW and I believe they disconnected the servo. Bingo the...

My bike is coming out of hibernation next week. I have filled the tank up before storage but didn?t add any form of stabiliser before hand. Is there any fuel additive that I should consider adding before her first run out.

Do the gen3 belly pans for years 2015-16 fit the 2017-18 and visa versa. Just looking at the Illmberger ones on Performance Parts and they list a 2017 longer version which I prefer over the 2015 one.

Hi, I have a 2015 gen 3 with a full Akra evolution titanium exhaust. Ive got carbon fibre everywhere, about 1.5k of ProBolts and have spent a fortune on it. I have now seen a 2016 original Tyco which I am interested in. My dilemma is do i buy it and then spend even more money swapping over the...

I've just had two days doing Level 1 and 2 at the California Super Bike School and unbeknown to me I was sliding forward and unsettling the bike during braking, light braking at that. Anyone they recommended Stomp Grip and I fitted some. I just thought this was a bit of a gimmick but hey it...

I've lost some weight since I bought my bike and want to revisit the preload settings that were adjusted for me when I bought the bike. Reading the manual, page 63 it gives a value of negative spring displacement of front wheel of 10-15mm with rider of 85 kg. Am I right in thinking then that the...

I am struggling to find the S1000RR listed to buy a Supersprox rear sprocket. My usual buying choices of Sportsbikes and DemonTweeks are unable to help as there filters are incorrect and when you type in your bike model nothing comes up, which they admit is an error. However i cannot order as...

I've just gone through my second foot pump in a year. The last one was a Michelin double barrel digital one costing ?25 from Halfords. Supposedly it has been the Best Buy winner for the last few years in the AutoExpress reviews which is the only thing I could find online comparing them...
