Hello To All

Hi, just joined the forum so thought I'd introduce myself.
My names Mark and I'm based in Worthing on the South Coast of England. I've just bought a 2007 R1200RT off of a mate and this is my first BMW.
I've been riding for around 25yrs and had a range of sports and trail bikes but this is my first proper Tourer.
The bike came to me with a few issues which I've been working my way through.
I'm going to the Isle of Man for the TT Practice Week next year with a few friends so hoping to have the bike 100% sorted by then. In the meantime I'll be lurking and trying to pick up some tips along the way.

The bike came to me with a few issues which I've been working my way through.
- Had the Front Wheel which had pothole damage repaired.
- Reactivated the Tyre Pressure sensors using the fantastic GS-911 Diagnostic kit that I treated myself too.
- Replaced the Battery and cleared all the Fault codes that where stored.
- Balanced the throttle bodies.
- Changed the Rear Brake Disk & Pads.
- Cleared the ABS Fault codes, again with the help of the GS-911.
- Fitted a Pipercross Air Filter
- Repaired the Fuel Strip so now have a fully functioning fuel guage again and got rid of the irritating Yellow Warning Triangle on the dash.
