7 weeks and she is pretty much done, a few tweaks that I need to do before I get her out on the track shortly but reasonably happy. Took a chance on fibreglass fairings which when painted weren't much cheaper than CRC ones would have been (painted) but they probably gave me the biggest...

Going to be getting some fitted shortly, thought i might aswell try and match the rear now that there is a shock on the back that is sprung for me. No issues getting them fitted and a good friend has picked up some work doing suspension and tyre support at some of the No Limits events so I am...

I am sure a few of you have done it, but for those that have did you have to make a bracket for both sides of the bellypan to attach it to the bottom of the frame? I bought a set of Phil Crowe recently, cracking quality to be honest and he did mention that a bracket would need making for the...

Anyone fitted a Brembo clutch perch before and connected the clutch switch up? Stripped the existing one off yesterday and am just planning in advance for wiring up the brembo one, naturally the two wires on each clutch switch are completely different colours. Green and grey on the bike loom...

Anyone replaced the front brake lines on an ABS model at all? Looking at replacing the front brake line which is the Y affair that splits to each caliper under the yoke (wanted it moving anyway so I could use my Harris Yoke stand) and it seems to run under ther air box to the ABS module, it...

Hopefully i can get a "unit average" on this, i am about to convert to 520 from OEM, going to be using a 16 front and am looking at 45 & 46 rear sprockets, what i need to know is the general concensus on how many links to go with on the new chain? I have had a few bits of advice to stick with...

Absolutely pants when it comes to this sort of thing but I am needing a bit of quickfire help for a little project/mickey take that I want t try and do in the very near future. I am looking to get 4 stickers made up, approximately 10cm long by 3cm high to be used either side of my tail unit and...

When I recently got my 14 serviced, the guy on the service desk (after telling him that the bike was now being converted to a track bike) started talking about getting the ECU unlocked? I've not actually heard anyone mention anything about unlocking but have heard about flashing at places like...

Just out of interest, anyone got any suspension settings for fast road use that they have tried that work that I can use as a base line? My sags seem to be pretty much in the right area but having tried a few adjustments to the compression and rebound at both ends I don't seem to be able to...

Not too sure where to put this but I am sure if it is in the wrong place it can be moved easily enough. Well as most of you will be aware a couple of us were recently given the chance to take on the offer of a set of Metzeler Roadtec 01 tyres for an evaluation on the S1000RR. Having had them...

Anyone ever heard that noise coming from the under the seat area near the ABS unit at all? Generally when I turn the key on the bike prior to firing her up I get the normal servo ticking but having done a couple of hundred miles today I got home and when I wheeled her back into the garage and...

Anyone suffered one leaking at all? I ask because the last couple of times i have washed my bike and put her to bed I have gone back to her a few days later and noticed a little bit of what looks to be crystalised coolant on the carpet beneath her directly below the headers before they go from...

Had a quick search and only found one other issue like this that concerned fitting aftermarket LED indicators and it didn't really draw any conclusions other than it was resolved finally. But having bought some LED indicators from Motodynamics over in USA I got round to fitting them yesterday...

Right so i have made a start on stripping back my bike having now actually managed to get 50 miles on it since buying it (absolutely love this weather in Scotland, no seriously it is special! :D ) and came across a bit of a problem that I might look at sorting to allow me to use my Harris under...

With regards to LED indicators (see what i did there? :D ) Ok so I haven't even ridden the beastie and yet I am spying these nice flush mounted indicators from Motodynamics in the US that sit neatly in the air duct on the rear and their flush mounted front indicators too (and their tail tidy...

That my S1000RR finally arrives, the last 2 weeks have been torture! :D And the mancave is ready :D Got a shopping list already to go and regardless of the time of the year I just need one dry day and she's getting leathered! :D

Ok so having decided to get back into track riding having not done much now for a number of years other than a quick dust off at Knockhill in September I want to look at organising a trip to Spain in 2017 for myself and some of my mates, I am planning on using one of the trackday companies like...

Just thought I would say hello seeing as I have just joined and paid to become a premium member, hoping to glean as much as there needs to be know about the S1000RR given that I have just taken the plunge and bought my first BMW. Have to say I didn't have the best of experiences on my first try...
