Howdy,
I purchased this RS in July. Only had 22,600 miles on it.
So far have added 5500 miles.
I have noticed a few times a rattle or a funny feeling coming from the foot peg assembly.
I have the k100LT model as well. Didn't realize the foot peg assembly is rubber mounted on the RS.
Anyways today I was checking the rear shock. Seems when grabbing the coil and wiggling the shock the shaft is clicking. hmmm
Showa shock need replacing? 12 year old bike, low miles.

I have one more question... This is my first beemer with radial tires. How good are they in snow?

take care,

I replaced mine with a Wilbers. Great improvement and it was not that expensive.
