Re: Recall work
Well my experience has been totally to opposite to yours. Sadly, I have to retract my good words about Barrie Robson. I needed to take the weather protection and lower panels off last Friday and the securing bolts were all wrong for the relevant holes (incorrect lengths for the position). One on th...

Re: First Short Ride
Glad you like it
Regarding the screen, I’m 6’6” and have a high seat, set on high because it messes with my legs and hip joints so need a massive screen for the quieter side of life in my lug holes
I don’t enjoy riding the work bikes as they have standard screens so get a right head battering!

Re: Knee Op Date
I am tempted to still tax the RT for the month, just to be able to get out on it at least once before my op. Will check the on the 29th the weather app for the week ahead and if its dry-ish i will tax it. Tax then SORN her after, either way she’s there for you if need be (I’ll not go into short ter...

Re: Centre stand removal
Actually, I’ve ordered some PVC tubing. It’s 20mm internal diameter and I am going to slit it lengthwise and see if it will stay in place and offer a first line of defence against road cr*p. Not sure if it will cause a water trap or even hold its shape but worth a try. :? I tried getting the stand ...

Re: Recall work
I'm torn between them and going to Grimsby! I have had servicing done in Grimsby with no issues but never used Barrie Robson I've heard some horror stories about both dealerships, mainly the sales side. When I had the warranty I travelled to Rainbow at Rotherham. I'd only heard of York recently and...

Can’t fault the BMW service as my bike was last at a dealer in September 2017! (It’s last software update was 2016).

Re: Mirrors
Good luck
The only other way I found they came off was whilst escorting the German chancellor from RAF Northolt into central London and I got a bit close to an oncoming vehicle’s door mirror which knocked the back off mine

Re: Mirrors
Fold mirror in then pull the exposed section of the mirror back inline/parallel to the line of the glass. I find a quick jerk works better than a long pull!
