Not to be too technical but you should check if the air is going in or out. If out, the problem is that the air inside is expanding under the heat and the seal is your problem. A hole won't help and may hurt as internal pressure helps you open the box. If the air is goin in, then the box is expandin...

My only theory on why no ABS Pro on the RT yet, is that they sell more GSs thank RTs and the K series always has all the bells and whistles. I agree with richardb, who ever told you ABS Pro was on the 16 was blowing smoke. BUT in the end, no one seems to know if the 17RT will have it. I guess they a...

You may want to think long and hard about whether attaching anything to the outside of a helmet is a good idea. In a crash it will catch and create twisting which may create more damage than the actual impact. It makes sense, your brain is encased in fluid in a hard box. Twist it fast and your brai...

That was my first thought, but my bike was produced late in the year and was not the subject of the recall (they must have fixed the problem in manufacturing later in the production year), also the dealer looked at it and determined that was not the source. Thanks for the suggestion.

when I return from a ride the bike smells of gasoline. It is noticeable near the front fork. 2011 RT is not the subject of the recall and my BMW dealer can't find a problem. No gas leak on the ground, but a distinctive smell that did not used to be there. Anyone have this problem, and maybe a soluti...
