still hardly believe how well the stock engine runs while mainly sucking through the below

depending on your gloves it should be TOO hot. As I observed the only hard check is the current drawn.

Temp specs would be difficult and most likely just Wattage. Should be sómewhere in the electric section of the repair manual. 3 is for polar circumstances and thus thick gloves. The latter insulate; also from the heated grips.

See https://www.r18forums.com/threads/my-10cts.4162/post-59604 and further. Not a commercial offer as you will see. 20€ per set ex. shipping. Have 4 sets on order from #1 son. On the list: @Cu Dubh @BAD MIKE USA

I am curious as to how this pans out so have placed an order with him for 4 sets. Even the total cost is peanuts anyway in BMW perspective.

It made no sense sell the hide before the bear was killed: My son will be very happy to print some more. He will do them in his own time though as he does need to pass exams. Do you lot think 20€ ex. shipping ok for the first sets? They are a straight fit. The development and test prints...

Today (y) weather. Sunny but chilly; just above zero. Good for a ride if careful with not thawed out road in the shade. Charming thinks the engine is more powerful. Even lost her grip on my jacket at one time :oops: She guestimates 10-15% more effort to hold on but especially way more...

Again safe bet too. Just bought a refurbished laptop to replace my current cracked plastic one with something magnesium/alu framed. Regardless of the brand, the metal is súre to be chinese manufactured as will be many other components.

It is a safe bet there is.

Today another window in the weather forecasted and laterin the afternoon the sun indeed came out for about 2 hrs before going down. Donned my gear, rolled the bike out and again all black when pushing the start butto after the safety routine. Sigh... With the dash lit selected more, went through...

Congrats with the new bike.

Thanks, no-go then. A sump guard wíll reduce air flow so best not if not nééded.

and now while on the subject of being bored and ALi-express, what about a sump guard? Seems a good idea with a plastic sump and low ground clearance. Anyone fitted it...
