Well, seeing as your issue resolves when you stand up, maybe a shorter screen would work for you?

I don’t make my purchases from the Max BMW site as I live in Europe, but I often use their parts diagrams, very useful. In Europe I can recommend leebmann24.com out of Germany for both cars and bikes. Their prices are usually lower than others. Let us know if you know of other good vendors in...

So I know this topic has been covered in several threads, and I didn’t know which one to follow up on so instead I started a new thread. Sorry for that. Perhaps the threads concerning this topic could be collected somewhere for future easy reference? Anyway to the discussion. I’m about 6ft...

I think it was from Amazon or aliexpress

I think Lutke1000 means the tool used to open the cap to refill with oil. I bought a generic one to spare marring the onboard one and allowing use of my torque wrench for install. In the ad for this knock-off tool both the R18 and R1250 etc are listed but I haven’t used it myself so can’t...

No other manufacturers are fine. But the kit from BMW offers a neat way of cleaning up the standard fender and attachments for the lights.

Hi. Sure the carrier for the plate itself is the same but the bits that attach to the standard fender are obviously not part of a bobber kit. I found a separate part number for this I believe, but it seems a kit also including the plate carrier is no longer available or never was. Part number...

Nice looking bike, but this kit is actually different. It retains the standard fender and includes parts that allow you to mount the combination lights and reflex with a discrete holder.

Hi and happy holidays I’m looking at options for mounting the number plate to the side and came across some files I saved a while ago. I found this manual for a kit I cannot seem to find, and a part number is not apparent in the installation guide. Has anyone actually seen this kit? Was it...

Wow that is horrific to see. Hope you get a chance to replace it soon. Interesting to hear Adrian R. Glad your bike is back to feeling safe. I am still waiting on my service department to confirm if they will replace my front Michelin Commander 3, I can see this wheel hopping under some...

Adrian R. What symptoms do you have from your front with a low spot? Thankfully the violent bounce I felt in my seat is pretty much gone now, but a slight tendency is felt from the bars so a new front is next. It is odd that these tires could cause this, actually Michelin has always been my...

So I have an update in my case. Long story short, after quite a few phone calls and patience, I now have a new Bridgestone H50r as my back tire and I’m extremely happy to report that the bounce is now completely gone. Judging by eye when I now rotate the wheel there is only at most a 0,5mm run...

Thanks BobW

No I’m not restricted in buying tires other than what is available in the European market. But I feel I shouldn’t have too at least out of my own pocket as the bike is new and so on. But if all else fails, that could be what I need to do. I haven’t felt any notchy steering at all, lock to lock...

It just seems strange that the new C3 tire also demonstrated the same issue, and actually even more so. My wheel is now with another BMW dealer and they’re contacting BMW higher up to learn what the tolerances are for tire run out and so on. In one way or another I think I want to change both...
