Had a great run out today, decided to head south for a change and did the Dalveen Pass then onto Dumfries, Moffat and then the Beeftub - great roads, hardly any traffic, zero plod but there were quite a few bikes out. Anyway, about 1 mile from home I felt a bit of power loss followed by the...

For the first time since 2011 I'll not be at the TT this year - instead, me and three mates are heading on a 'Euro Trip' for the next seven days, I'm just finalising packing then leaving for the Newcastle ferry at lunchtime...?.handy thing about one of my friends having a GSA is that the right...

In need of some help...?.was changing the bar ends and torqueing up the new ones to the recommend torque of 66Nm but the insert has stripped - what's my options? Had a look on Real OEM and it doesn't look like you can buy the insert?

Just saw the latest announcement from MD on his Instagram account that he is confirmed for the roads with Tyco BMW for 2019...?...

Just curious what the opinions are on fitting new brake pads - after cleaning the caliper / pins etc what's the view on a light application of ceramic grease on the back of the pad ? I used to always use some copper slip on the rear of the pads when changing car pads but I know that there are...

I'm heading to the IoM for TT race week on June 3rd and my original fit Supercorsas are both nearly on the wear limits at 2900 miles so I need to change them before I go. I bought the bikes with 1200 miles on it and the tyres were like new, I basically done one track day and the rest on day...

Here's a couple of pictures from my trackday at Knockhill last Thursday before the blizzards arrived and put a stop to the action !! And a picture from my early morning ride for breakfast last Saturday using the Arrows can to keep my roll on sausage nice and hot.... Cheers Colin

I'm doing a trackday at Knockhill on Thursday (fingers crossed the weather is dry) so I'm looking for a bit advice on User Mode settings Do I go for DDC as SLICK or leave it in RACE ? I'll be leaving the DTC at RACE as I'd like some wheelie assist coming out the Knockhill hairpin. I'm not a...

Managed to get my first decent ride out today. Did about 130 miles, up to Crieff, Lochearnhead through Callendar and back to Falkirk....was brilliant getting out but it was still pretty cold, had my new one piece suit on and I was frozen, including my hands with heated grips on full, these 2015...

I'm looking to buy a carbon fibre rear hugger for my 2015 S1000RR.......everything I have read suggests that the non-ABS one will fit OK so that is the plan to get rid of the hole in the OEM hugger. The Ilmberger one looks good (as you would expect) but it is fairly expensive (cheapest I've...

As above title - anyone else going to this ? I did it last year on my CBR600RR, booked again for this year on the S1000RR, can't wait :welcoming:

I collected the additional parts from BMW to complete the install of my Hepco & Becker Sportrack, I have to say it fits really well and feels well secure. I've had a test fit of my Kriega US20 and it was effortless and feels so much more secure using the pillion seat. Here is a picture...

First outing of the year later today, taking the bike over to Douglas Park Motorrad for it's first annual service. I was surprised to hear that it needs a brake fluid changed at 1st annual service and then every second year after that. Going to ask them again about any software upgrades...

I brought the S1000RR into work today as the salt is away and the sun was shining ! It's now due it's first annual service and I have an amber exclamation warning light illuminated and the service required text along the top of the display. Obviously I will be getting it serviced, but it's...

Well, had a few hours to kill today between beers and yet more food so thought I'd strip the fairings off and fit the Evotech radiator and oil cooler guards...... The finished job.... I've fitted a few Evotech parts now and am impressed by the quality and fit - never had a problem. What...

I've noticed that my 2015 does not have any balance weights on the wheels (forged) - I checked when I was in the dealers as they had another two brand new RR's in stock with standard wheels and they didn't have any balance weights on either.... I don't have any balance issues so it's not a...

New member here showing off his latest purchase :welcoming: Just a pity it's now November and likely to be sleeping in a warm garage for a few months.... [/URL][/IMG] Had a good run out last Sunday but too many damp leaves on the road and low sun when heading back home.....roll on 2016...

As a newbie to this site I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct section, but just wondering who's booked to go to the IoM for the 2016 TT ? I'm booked to go for my 6th year in a row, 5 years on the CBR, next year on the S1000RR :tickled_pink: I'm going over with a few mates on the...

I have just bought some R&G aero crash bungs and read the instructions which state not to exceed 40Nm torque otherwise damage can occur to the bike ! Question is, the BMW recommended torque setting for the engine mounting bolts is 56Nm, not quite sure which to go with - I guess it's got to be...
