Re: no neutral

Thanks
Is this gear indicator switch to show the bike is in neutral? It is not just my indicator showing the bike is in neutral, the bike will not go in neutral. It goes from 1-2 and 2-1 even when shifting slowly by hand.

Last weekend I ran into a problem with the GS. A few weeks ago after a nice ride I parked the GS in the garage. Yesterday I pulled ...

Front wheelings R1200RT LC

I have a 2014 R1200RT LC with 28,000 miles. I am changing my front tire again and wonder should I change front bearings and seals. I have had HD's in the past and they eat front wheel bearings (Cheap narrow ones). Any feedback and is there an alternative bearing and seal or go BMW$$$$

Re: Best Tires??

Michelin PR4 GT by far but you need a few more pounds of air to get maximum tire mileage.

Re: 2016 R1200RT LC Radio issue

I am all paid up and they tried to refresh the signal 3 times in 3 days. I also spoke to their tech department that tried also. They also told me that if Bluetooth was on they could not refresh the signal. I read, or tried to read the BMW audio book and I think my Bluetooth is off. I never turned it...

2016 R1200RT LC Radio issue

My 2016 R1200RT LC just lost the satellite radio signal while driving down the road. All I have is the preview channel 184. I have called XM and the tried several times to refresh the signal with no luck. AM / FM and AUX works and sounds fine but no satellite. Only channel 184. Any ideas ?

Re: 2016 R1200RT LC Radio issue

The XM guys say my radio may be in Bluetooth mode. I tried to find how to check but what a complicated mess. Any help out there?

Re: Unusual Tyre wear?

My Z8 tires wore just like the picture except at 3500 miles. Been running Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT since and very happy.
