Re: Can I use this gps mount?

Personally if it was me I would buy a standalone sat nav like the Garmin or TomTom

There will be plenty of people along soon enough to tell you of the issues of the expensive BMW Nav range and why to avoid it

You should be able to remove the mount and fit a different sat nav there

Re: Brake Caliper Pistons (To Lube or Not ! !)

Never lube them because of the issues you already describe

They aren't lubed from the factory and its not in any part of the servicing on any bike so there is no real need to do it

What is your reasoning for wanting to lube them?

Re: Drilling holes in screens !

I have the same screen and it's actually half an inch taller at full height!

But the shape makes the air flow better in my opinion

I think it's the right size and the air management is good

Re: Turn off aux light warning with GS911??

Unfortunately not no!

It's a trip to the dealers to get it coded out

I had the same issue but instead I replaced the lights under protest for the newer nano ones
