Re: Low fuel warning light

Mine generally comes on at 50 miles to go. When training on the Police bikes it’s come in at 35 miles to go. May be the same amount of fuel left but distance is based on average fuel consumption immediately prior to reaching the activation level.

Re: GS911 service light reset ?

You can set a date and mileage, usually the first one reached will activate the service light.

Is there’s 50mph limit along the Horseshoe pass these days?

Re: Anyone bought a bike without a test ride

I’ve bought a Kawasaki GT550 (sold after 3 years), Suzuki bandit600 (9years), Yamaha Fazer 1000 (9years) and BMW R1200RT LC (8 1/2 years and current bike) brand new from dealers without riding any of them, the decision based purely on reviews in magazines. Haven’t regretted any of them.

Re: Suspension Set Up?

Could it be that your speed maybe just a little too high for the twisties and you’re over testing the suspension and tyre grip?

I had the same issue on an iPhone (safari, edge and Firefox) so fired up my laptop. R1200RT LC 2014, no recalls.
