Thanks one and all.at least I know I'm not alone. Still it is a pretty good bike.All I did to it was remove the orange tiger stripes,put on a Akrapovic slip on,pull the charcoal can (not required in my state) and bob the rear fender. Still looking for a shorter handlebar so I can put on my bar end m...

After 8,000mi I noticed that thr blue paint was blistering on my right rocker cover around the plug wire.Bike now has 14,000mi.it's an '05. Dealer said bike is not running hot and all is well.Is it another case of "They all do that" BMW says too bad,bike is out of warrenty (please ..no gri...

I always used Metzs, M1's and M3's;but i am going to try the new Conti Road Attack 2's.

Now slippery mold release,no scary break in time,good to go from day one,lean as much as you like.

Test are in all the Mags. this month.

It's metz M-3 for me,good stick at lean angles,good in wet too.

The older I get the less I like being screwed by BMWs

Thanks,You gotta know I'm not done yet.I'll keep you updated onmy quest for fairness...Ha.

BMW Motoradd(sic) Marketing and Good Will (HA) has declined to cover my repair of a Trans.output shaft seal on my '05 Rockster.Bike is 6 mos. out of Werranty and only has 10,000mi.it cost me $320.00,I feel that 10,000mi is too soon for this part to fail and consider it a defect. This is my 5th(and l...

Sorry,Johnny.Mine is the orange/copper color,Thanks

Need a "How To" for cutting down my rear fender.I've seen bikes that have this done.I don't think its a BMW part;but the cuts look pretty "Factory"

Thanks

I have one of the new Bonnies,nice enough;but I like shaft drive drive twins.Moto Guzzi makes a nice Power bike,the Griso.Anyone know anything about it.

Will the scooter company shutter Moto-Guzzi and pump up Aprilla?

Hey Beaze,I'll really want to know where you got your tank pads.
Thanks

Mike

I noticed that the only road only oilhead id the R1200r this year.is that it?

Don't like "dirt" bikes or GASP chain drive BMWs.

What next Scooters,not that there's ant thing wrong with that,,,Just not a BMW.

Moto-Guzzi here I come............

Hey Paul, snap up the staintune pipe if you can,Much better all stainless,no repacking and the bolt on tab is welded to the muffler,,no straps. I tried to fit my new Leo Vince last night,,Did Not Fit I.D. of muflet 2' o.d. OF BIKE PIPE 1 3/4" I CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID TO ADD SOME GASKET OR SH...

Thanks again,
I may just slip it on and go and see how its runs.I can always reset the ECU later and try again.

By the way,,Love your location,if you ever come to Boston Ma. let me know.

mike

Thanks,Riceburner.

Do I really have to do this? What happens if I just slip on the new pipe and go?

I just ordered a Leo Vince slip-on and I have a few questions for those of you that have installed aftermarket pipes. 1- my Clymer workshop manual states that when replacing an exhaust system,muffler or air filter that is not stock to do the following. # disconnect the negative battery strap during ...

Metzelers M-3's for me.the M-1's lasted 7,00mi.

OK here you go,,,one more time,The forks always "flop" to the left because that's where you are going to lock the fork.The bike will teeter on the center stand because when you remove the rear wheel it will sit on the front wheel and remain stable;and when you remove the front wheel it wil...

....and the rest goes like this.."and Fannys your aunt"
