You have hammered and hammered your opinion in this thread. You have an extremist viewpoint regarding BMW and fuel gauges, in my opinion. We get it.

Please do not post in my thread any more if...

No. However, only because I have a nice 11RTP I'll trade you for your R69S. If you don't take the trade to ride a GOOD motorcycle - then yes.....:bolt

That's pretty much my exact point. The RIDER is responsible for consumables - regardless of the reason they are consumed, with or without indicators - no one else.

I rode the 2011 IBR.

We're clearly at two ends of this. Hope you have a great life.

Aw shucks <shuffles feet>, thank you.

My Dad once told me no company would hire a bum like me. And now I'm:



BMWMAN!

Da tad da da!

Those pesky springs try and try to escape. Best they've ever been able to manage is to peek their little heads out. Unfortunately for them, once they get their heads out, they're much like a big...

I have them. They're fine.

That's exactly my question. :scratch

Higher pressures allow the tire to run cooler Bob. Low pressure increases heat.

36/42 is what the owners manual calls for riding two up if I recall correctly. However, I have never found generally accepted pressures to suit individual riding styles or conditions.

I trashed a...

30 years ago I weighed in the 125 neighborhood.... Happens to us all.

Running light 40/40 and heavy 40/42. Always one up. I weigh 160. However, aux fuel cell on passenger seat area lugging 4+ gal.

Doug, Doug, Doug.... An oil thread can migrate to a tire thread but I don't see any way a tire thread can revert to an oil thread - well, maybe if we had a Star Trek warp drive....:thumb

I love...

No. Poor chump walked into BMW Salt Lake to be accousted by a hot redhead [at the time], and rode home on a new GS if I recall the model correctly.....

I was there - I could tell you more but...

<sigh> It's my lot in life Paul. You know how much I hate having to get them started but though it's a tough job - getting motorcyclists to regale us with tales of daring do and the great rides -...

Having ridden more than a million miles on motorcycles since 1956 - most on BMWs - I've had my share of problems. I carry a spare key ring, several fuel strip failures and a final drive failure on...

September is a long haul down the road for me to plan. If I can make it, I certainly will. The Bavarian Mountain Weekend at the Sipapu Ski Lodge is a long time favorite of mine. Great mountain...

Great weather - ok, a little rain but no big deal there. A little cool when I left the house and in the mountains, but not uncomfortable [Gerbings ya know]. Just a short ride of 550 miles but it...

I sold a collection of motorcycles for health issues several years ago. Some were fully restored and very rare collector bikes that sold for more than some would believe they are worth. I sold them...

We've needed something more than the lists. Don't know if this is it but it's a move in the right direction.

The lists do have their place, so do good forums.

Cheers.
