Re: Cover for Rt

Re: Anyone Using BMW's fuel additive?

I recall on K100LT that the Bosch fuel pump bearings used to gum up and cause excessive wear.
Then again, mine was 28 yes old with 66k when I sold it for my RT.......?

Re: 1200 RT Pulls when brakes applied in a turn

Re: Knocked off my pride and joy

Is it too late to buy the bike at auction, get it repaired and pocket what's left?  Or even buy,fix and sell, make more money to put towards a new one?????
