As well as the Healtech modules I also reinstalled my standard BT Moto tune. The bike rides very nicely but I miss the bangs and pops I got before putting the tune back on.
Eventually got rid of a fault code identified using the HEX GS-911 (Fault code: Ox3A112)
Completely removed exhaust servo motors and connecting wires to the flapper valves & fitted a pair of Healtech eliminators to prevent warning lights.
Didn't even need the GS-911 to clear codes. They...
For the record. The Stabi sounds like a great solution that has a lot of positive reviews on here. The lift plate is simply an alternative that has the 'Potential' (Not yet tested), to stay on the bike. This would help greatly in any breakdown situation.
A bit paranoid having had a rear...
Indeed it has. I have just been carrying out some cleaning tasks and it is amazing how much you miss seeing when the bike is on the ground.
In addition I have just tried using the lift plate with the EazyRizer StrongArm. It works! I can lift the front or the rear of the bike easily, knowing I...
Hi Star Lord
If you look at the close up of the plate, you can see it is effectively bolted to the jack on four corners. I have even sat on the vehicle (when only 12 inches off the ground), and no movement fore or aft, or side to side. Very secure. I think it would always make good sense to...

The above link refers to a riser plate made by Manfred Christ.
It has been mentioned here on a couple of threads and I thought I should give my feedback having purchased this plate.
It is substantially made using thick...
Nothing wrong with a change. For now, the R18 continues to offer me what I want but, you never know. :-)
Safe riding as your new metal might be a little faster than the R18
Hi ak47alistair
Didn't work out quite as good as hoped for two reasons.
1. I removed the long exhaust and rear hangers where the current design of my lift is meant to attach. I now have short exhausts which strangely are in the way.
2. 50mm x 3 mm thick box section is very heavy when trying...

Thank you for the suggestion. I have actually removed the rear hangers as they can not be left in place with the short exhaust. I think. I have worked out some options which I will report on as soon as I feel comfortable with my work a round.
Went onto the KERN-STABI website.
Couldn't see any attachments for when original exhaust and hangers have been removed.
I have shorty exhausts fitted. I can always mess around and add the original
Hi Buellwinkle
Several years after you posted these pic's, they still prove very helpful. I have the same lift as you and wanted to see how you had spread the bearer bars on the lift itself. Thank you.
Having owned my bike for the past four years. I have great confidence during slow speed handling. Feels very balanced. You Tubers like MotoJitsu and others have been a great help in learning slow speed techniques.
Many thanks for the feedback Petrus and Star-lord. Helps very much in building confidence levels.
The bike is fully serviced and BMW service history is up to date.
Only happened the once, so perhaps an anomaly. Oil levels could have been a little low as I was on a long trip to France, from the...
