Cleaning/washing
When my dealer did 6K service for me they didn't even bother to wipe off oil from the bottom of the cylinders when they adjusted valves.

Nice, I"m jealous of your new suspension.

I'm sorry about video, but Drums on/in R1200R was just to intriguing not to investigate.
YES you can ride it and have plenty of fun

I would say mudsling is definitely worth the money. It keeps all the nasty stuff away from shock and keeps area in front of the wheel a lot cleaner. Very functional.

Here is couple of photos from our vacation trip to Glacier National Park - Montana Two weeks was waaaayyyy to short for this trip :( We have to go back soooon. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3733/10413860753_facdd08d70_z.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7295/10413860793_80ab115f1f_z.jpg [imghttp://f...

Yes, kbnesbitt my is standard height, i wish it was a little taller.
It's not a 1000 mile day seat, but way more confy than stock, and it looks good too

Nice, I have been enjoying mine for about 20K miles. I find it little slippery.

I own my sargent seat for about 12k, it looks great, it's very comfortable for longer rides. Only think I can complain about is that is a bit slippery, especially for my wife. When I break little harder she slides forward and I slide all the way to the tank ;) No doubt it's a great seat I just wish ...

Neuro rider,
Do you mind sharing info which rok straps model are these.
Thank you

Great idea. I always had hard time to strap anything on top of the cases. CAD drawing just makes it even more easy to fab the brackets.
Thank You much, it will help me whole bunch on upcoming trip.

I installed set of Metzeler Z8 in late fall and only put about 500 miles on them, so far I like them. Hopefully I can get more than 8K-9K out of them

Thanks everybody for all the input :) I was able to revive my battery by simply hooking it up to battery charger last sunday for about 10 hours and i started my bike today without problem. So for now i will suspend my search of new battery, and will get back to this topic when time comes for replace...

I mounted on my bike before winter it's about 10 bucks and it will keep water out. When i was instaling mine i found about quarter cup of water and plenty of rust,
it takes about 20 min to install.

Thank you all for input. I will try to put it on charger for about 10hrs and will see what happens, hopefully i can still get some use out of it.

Like title says, my 09 bike did not start today :( and it was over 60F today :( So i did some research and was thinking with replacing original BMW battery with Yuasa YTX14H-BS will be a good chose. What do you guys think from your experience? any opinions greatly appreciated maybe there is better c...

If you can't decide between two things plug or inside out patch, choose the one that YOU feel most comfortable with and this way you will have peacfull mind and there will be nothing to worry about
IMHO inside/out plug is best way to go if you still want to get use out of that tire.

I have glendas which are 700 lumens per side, and i think they are very bright. I just can't imagine how bright are new ericas at 6000 lumens

I have clearwater light and, friend of mine requested that i buy him set of welding goggles when we ride together

In my case when i did my partial 12K before winter i found fluid in FD was somehow dark gray and in gear box was about the same. I did not find any large particles on my FD magnet plug only some like powder residue. I have read about amount of fluid in FD, some say it should be 180cc some say 230cc ...
