Re: Dashcam position

Don't understand that. I presume that's not the fairing or otherwise.
Where exactly have you mounted the camera.

Re: New Tyres please

No offence taken, just don't cross the road in front of me, lol. I had the Metz 01s on my previous RT for about 6k miles and was extremely happy with the wear, no cupping at all. As for the RS, a no-go. Anne's been used to VFR, 18years, and her latest CBR650F, 18months, and found it a bit "big&...

Re: New Tyres please

Measured the tread: Front - middle 2.0 : outer 2.5 Rear -  middle 2.0 : outer 4.0 Cupping on both front and rear with a very decent "chicken strip". Very difficult to avoid centre wearing quicker, Germany and back was mostly "upright" and 1500mile around Scotlaqnd took i...

Re: New Tyres please

A lot depends on when to change tyres. Perhaps I change them earlier than others. The main thing is that I enjoy riding the bike and if it means I change the tyres  more often then that's  a price I'm willing to pay. It's a superb bike and I love riding it hard (well). North Wales ...

New Tyres please

Managed 7k miles on the oem PR4 GT tyres that came with the bike in April (last year). No problems with them except serious cupping on the front, same as I had on my previous 2014 RT. Changing to Metzeler 01s, as I did on my previous bike with no cupping then. Going to Chester tomorrow pm to get the...

6000 mile service deal

Hi there, just back from having the ol' bike (2018) serviced. Chester Motorrad are (were this morning) doing a deal on servicing. Normal service is about £200 (something). The deal is to bring forward gearbox oil and brake fluid change from next year, they don't charge for the engine oil and filter....

Re: R1250RT

An interesting video and review especially for someone contemplating a change. Things I noticed: 1200 didn't seem wanting when ridden, only noticeable side by side. Minimal power and torque increase, like another comment, a trip to Hilltop would probably sort the curve to a smoother response. Brakin...

Re: Server moved to new location

I have not had a problem logging in, but I did set it to "forever" so have not had to log in again.
Just tried out and then logging back in with no problems.

Re: Final drive unit

When I had the corrosion issues with my 2014 LC I asked at Chester Motorrad about getting the small areas of corrosion dealt with rather than BMW sending out the cases and me paying for the labour to change them. They said that BMW don't do thet and they didn't know of anyone who could. I was sorely...

Re: BMW Warranty

I did 25k miles on my 2014 LC and never had to top up the oil, my current 2018 biuke with 6K miles also hasn't needed topping up.
