Re: R1150rt/gs Fuel Injector upgrade to R1200 Injectors
Good video, I love the change stuff yourself kind of thing. I was a little concerned over the bike not starting afterwards, I didn't understand what he meant by the battery drain thing and it was all glossed over as being OK now - a week later. Maybe that's the only time he had to do the filming but...

Re: MOT time
When I bought my 20 plate from Bowkers earlier this year they gave me a letter saying they'd test it for free but couldn't fit it in when I asked for it! Luckily I have a really old skool bike mechanics up the road from me where I take all my bikes anyway, who could do it. I always say if you don't ...

Re: Front brake lever sinks
You could just try cable tying the front brake lever as far back to the bars as you can and leave it overnight.

Re: R1300GS
I have a rule that I won't buy a bike that costs as much as my first house whether new or used. Always nice to have a bit of perspective .

Re: Buying a 2005 R1200RT advice
I would be fine with buying it but that's me. There are a lot of things you can service yourself if you have the talent and inclination. If it's got past 40 thou I'd like to think it was good for another 40.
