Hope it wasn't any worse than a modest low side....Try Beemer Boneyard and similar for used ones

Maybe, but we science geeks know why it can be done.

All flammable gases have a range of flash concentrations above which or below which they cannot be ignited in air. The fix strongly suggests...

I made my version of the piezo tool needed for the fix not from a butane containing piezo lighter like shown on Advrider but from one of those red push button barbecue starters (had a spare) - can...

In this case the bicyclists were extreme right and still got hit by the idiot on the motorcycle who was clearly 100% at fault.
If that motorcyclist lived out here he'd be one of those morons who...

???
Have carried any number of bags on the back seat and can even get them forward enough to be a sort of backrest though not what I normally prefer.
Rokstraps, 2 pair, crisscrossed. Snugged...

That's a lot more than riding wide on a turn (he was still in his lane so this might actually be a decent choice in safe circumstances). The video shows someone who had his "head down" and was...

There is a huge difference in what it takes to bend a fin a little and and what it takes to actually hole a cooler. Folks who race cages can tell you about scooping buckets full of rocks and rubber...

FWIW, those oil cooler screens might help appearance but are basically a waste of money.

First, it is extremely rare for anyone to damage an RT cooler- its way too high off the ground and there...

Geez, do a web search.
This topic is antique. Power gains from pricey exhaust systems are trivial.
A sound you prefer is the more reasonable goal and if that's worth $1K-2K to you, have at it....

Well, I haven't hauled it to the shower yet but I admit to wiping it down while its off the bike- and periodically washing the bike when tupperware is off. Just be careful if you do that later- no...

For many gps,that were common when the 08 was built, like the 550, you can clip the middle wire out the repair plug- its not needed to go to the gps. The two outside wires are you 12V and ground-...

Vehicle recalls are a lot like drug recalls- they get published on govt lists, have specific rules that have to be followed including results reporting, and chew up internal resources. So firms try...

Brand attractiveness certainly doesn't carry over from cars to bikes for at least some of us. I ride three BMW bikes and periodically have to drive SOs 5 series that I despise- good twin turbo six...

Another thing you can do is call the local traffic office responsible for that light and ask them to re-calibrate it. Where I live in NC, our city traffic guys actually did a TV presentation on how...

BMW bike plugs don't stay in very long if you ride normally (only a few seasons at most and a season or less for some) and service at factory intervals. And torque is low with good access. So I...

And that same connector exists on some other models as well, always zip tied in an easy to find up front location. I just used it on a K1200GT, where it was tied right behind the triple tree..

Don,
Your TPMS experiences are interesting and I can see why you bought one. Being a Jersey kid by birth, I sure wouldn't want to get stuck in the inner lane of the Turnpike with a flat on my bike...

True

It might take the old school guys a while to get used to modern electrical system design. Basically, modern BMW bikes are built like modern cars, not like lawnmowers one can buy at the big...

Dave,
You're most certainly not the first to have one of those shells fall apart in your hands so don't beat yourself up over it. They get unbelievably brittle because they're a crap part. I'm not...

The idea that exhausts are generally restrictive these days is complete nonsense. Even massive air flow boosts (1 bar or more boost) with turbos don't need exhaust gutting unless one is seeking...

You guys didn't read my comment closely enough perhaps I should have expanded it a bit...

Yeah, I too find Russell's manner of speech odd, putting it in unoffensive terms. But I've also spent so...

Got no idea what the parasitic drain is on that model but a few months ago dealt with a K1200RS that had a very flat Odyssey in it when the owner had kicked loose the charger cord over the winter and...

FWIW, you should never simply pop in pads without cleaning pistons and the caliper interior so pads slide freely in the caliper and the pistons don't hang in their seals. Also a very tiny touch of...

Well, sort of....

CANbus has nothing at all to do with fuses being there or not. Its simply how the various computer modules talk to each other...There is no fuse panel at all on your bike unless...

Hope this rider has gotten off with no serious injury. Sounds like a pretty typical rear end hit from your description- we've had a couple in our local club that resulted merely in bent bikes so hope...
