Re: Battery Life
Mine sits on a CTEK when it’s not in use, I’ve done this with all my bikes and it’s never caused me a problem.

Re: Free Shaft replacement from BMW
No, my 2018 hasn’t had a dealer service in the last 4 years, but I still received a letter from BMW to get the shaft checked along with the footrests and ECU update FOC.

Re: Removal of top front fairings and headlight
These may help though I can't find the video and can only assume it' been taken down. These older posts refers to similar problems - https://www.bmwlt.com/threads/front-fairing-removal-problem-led-headlight-install.192909/ https://www.1200rt.com/viewtopic.php?t=3045&sid=9dd96033f23c7f153e735f419...

Re: Sargent seat
The UK importer is Calamander I believe, you can send it back if it doesn’t suit you, but from what I’ve heard he (understandably perhaps?) won’t be happy to refund. Seats are like screens, I’ve always put Sargents on my touring bikes but what suits me may not suit you… they do come up 2nd hand. My ...

Re: Bench lift
Hah… tidy garage! Lots of space now 😊 Prompted by shame and a nice day for the bike to be wheeled out, enforced by the fact I didn’t shut the freezer door properly and it was totally iced up 🙄 so I had to tidy up for space to empty it out. But now it’s done and I’ve just enough time polish my halo! ...

Re: Recall work
A footnote to this thread - After Bahnstormers BMW replacing the shaft free of charge last month (thank you 👍) I’ve since noticed that on a couple of occasions the rear rubber gaiter had become misplaced, thus exposing the shaft to water ingress. This of course happened in style as I hadn’t noticed ...

Didn’t do a lot of pics but here’s my ZX10 at a French forest campsite in the early ‘90’s (when I had hair),and a VF1000R halfway through the Deer Park bends near Horncastle in Lincolnshire.

Re: Bench lift
How I hate people with tidy garages, but it’s only jealousy
really!
I do a regular 3 monthly clean up and it looks really good… for at least two days.

Re: Aftermarket seat for R1250RT - again!!
At the risk of teaching Granny… The seat on my ST1300 was one if the most uncomfortable I’d ever ridden, and I’d be shuffling around within the first hour of a 4-5 hour ride. First I bought Sargent seats, which are (perversely) more firm than stock and also wider. I also looked at underwear, (not a ...

Re: Abba Stand
