Every 58 days..

Now, since we're both in the upper midwest (I'm 2 miles from Wisconsin) we both have access to some of the best items in the world for "smell" induction..

Might I suggest a nice limburger and...

Oh, now you tell me!!!

I just spend the last 5 days in two different paper mills in Alabama and could have gathered all kinds of stinky air... :fart

Oh, believe me.. This air would be filtered with factory BMW air filters..

Nothing but the finest for the insides of tires..

I'd have to fill small cans to carry while touring, just to top...

Sometimes, my BMW is a GM and gets an AC Delco oil filter, and sometimes it's a Ford, and gets a Motocraft filter..

Today, it must be a Bosch... :D

Filter quality is important, but even more...

Oh man... I love it.... Screw "Politically correct"... :stick

Anyway, I did the same, for a little more money and a little less work, on my R1100R by installing a Two Bros exhaust.. Runs like a...

Well, for me, I know I'm damn hard on tires. Most of the time, I accelerate and brake pretty hard. It's what I enjoy. On top of that, I'm only 20-30 miles from some super twisty roads in Southwestern...

For those who are wanna-be Iron Butt riders, here's a perfect way to test yourself without going all...

Now, if only not finishing last year qualified me as a Rookie again this year.. :doh

Note to self.. Remember electric vest if travelling along top of Lake Michigan after dark.. 34 frickin'...

Scratch that.. Life and stick???

Simple.. Michelin Pilot Road.. FANTASTIC Sport Touring Tire.

I wasn't getting squat for life on my R1100R.. 4K-5.5K was about it with everything I tried, and I...

I don't get to go to Waffle House unless I'm working down south, but that would be my first choice..

Because of that, my breakfast place is 1 1/2 hours northwest of me.. Good warm up to a riding...

Greetings from up north!! I'm Dan from Wisconsin (now IL)who used to get in your area when I worked for Beloit Corp.

3 things

* How you been doing?
* How do you like your oilhead, compared...

I agree with you, Mark, to a point.
Since we both have the same bike, sans the fairing (mine has a National Cycle F15 shield) I love the looks of our bikes.. Problem is, I have quite a few riding...

It will also depend on what model R bike.. Some have mechanical speedos (R1150R) and others have electronic..

Good luck and let us know how it turns out....

I won't skimp on filter quality, either.. When AC-Delco starts making crap filters, I'll quit using them... Since GM owns them, and stands behind them 100%, I'll continue to use them in my bike,...

Testing the speedo is the ONLY thing that flat straight roads are good for.. They suck for everything else.. BAD!!! Unless you like flat spots across your rear tire.:banghead

Lucky for me,...

Cat0020,
Ever been to IL?? Rural IL??
Nothing but one mile squares.. Flat one mile squares. At that time the fields were only tilled with nothing even planted yet..

I appreciate your concern...

You could be very right about the refresh rate, but this was done on a straight, flat road with my ThrottleMeister and looking back and forth between the speedo and the GPS.

All speeds were...

I tossed my GPS in my tankbag to do a speedo test on my R1100R and was amazed with how accurate it was.
It was never off more than 2 mph at speeds between 20-100 mph..
It was worst at 30 where my...

I bought my through Aerostich.. One of the best purchases I have ever made..$77 or so..

I run my Twin Max everytime I change oil.. Only takes a couple minutes and it makes a huge difference on...

Fram filters are the cheapest thing on the market..
I've been using AC-Delco PF-53 filters with no problems.. Nice thing is that it's the same filter that goes on my Toyota T100 too..:D
You MUST...

I'm a 3K change person, but BMW recommends 6K for an oil change. :eek

If you have time, pick out a dealer and see if they'll let you change in the parking lot of thier shop.. Most used to let you...

Reynolds made trailer hitches for K-bikes. I had one on my 85 KRS.. They're now out of business, but I'm sure there's some hitches still floating around in dealers or used..

It came back on the...

I use dino oil in the engine and change every 3K..
In the gearbox, I used to use Mobil 1 synth gear lube, but I'm switching next time to Amsoil 85-130 next time.. I've heard tons of good things...
