6000 Mile service

I have the 6,000 mile service coming up in a few weeks.  What am I looking at in terms of cost?

Re: Bmw warranty

I don't recall being given any options to vary the coverage.  It was a set cover for a set price.  Too late for me now anyway - the original warranty expired in Jan this year.

Re: Bmw warranty

My RT was new in Jan 13.  I had always intended to extend the warranty once the initial two years was up - but not at almost £400!!  I have decided to put £400 a year aside and, if I have any issues, will have a fund I can put towards repairs.

Re: Cruise control

I would never selected cruise control as an individual extra.  Cruise control on a motorcycle?  Nahhhhhh!!! However, mine came as part of the SE package and I must say I do fine it useful on occasions.  I try to avoid tedious motorway routes but, where there is not choice,...

Re: Bluetooth

Update - So I exchanged a couple of emails with Autocom.  They have recommended someone in Kent that can install the kit for me.  OK, it's about an hour and a half from me but it'll be a nice ride.  I have ordered the Logic 2 kit and a Garmin-specific lead for my SatNav.&a...

Re: Bluetooth

Thanks for the feedback guys. It is much appreciated.    I tried looking at Autocom as it does have a good reputation and I would actually prefer the reliability of a wired system.  The problem is, having spent a lot of money on what should have been decent kit before and ...

Re: Clothing preferences

Depends on the day.  I have summer fabric kit (IXS,airflow) winter fabric (Hein Gerike) kit and a set of Scott leathers.  I also have open face, full face and flip helmets. Not getting on too well with my flip lid though.  It is a Nolan N104 and after an hour or so it's no...

Re: Hearing Protection

I have a custom made set from Ultimate Ear Plugs.  They are extremely comfortable and very effective - both on the bike and when I am shooting.

Bluetooth

Guys, Is anyone successfully using a Bluetooth setup with SatNav and a passenger.  I tried an Interphone set up and could never get it to work properly.  There were issues even with just rider/passenger and once rider/passenger/SatNav were paired it was completely useless.&nbsp...
