I've got mine in a quadlock anti vibe mount. We'll see how it goes! What annoys me about the software is that ALL motorrads using it across all of the models have the same gripes...and why oh why can't I use my brand new top of the range Google phone (running android) to use simple things like...

Always need an Angel on your shoulder to ward off the gremlins.

Yes it would work. An optimate will work as a tender by utilising the existing DIN sockets.

I was fitting switched servo eliminators today (a PITA without a table lift) and just in front of the left exhaust servo is a plug with a blanking socket fitted to it cable tied to the servo cables..

I don't, when he came on board at the end of last year, in one interview I read he mentioned that he did not see that BMW had a need to compete with the already established American cruiser market. The R12 came out a couple of months later.

With the current CEO being vocal about his disapproval of the R18 range and low sales combined with the headlight fiasco, brace yourself for the R18 going the same ways as the R12C. It's a definite possibility.

A friend came off at 30mph wearing denim jeans and jacket. He lost 1/16th inch of skin in a very short slide. He was in agony. It was a really hot year here and despite that I started started wearing full leathers (it was the early 90s) and about a week later I came off at 60mph in a long slide...

Good wear for the miles.

It's literally 1/2 the weight with a 29" seat height.

We are comparing apples and pears here, but in the UK my dealer supported my claim for corrosion on my 4 year old RT and Motorrad were fighting it hard. The Used Motorrad warranty in the UK is next to useless and more or less relies on the dealer, with so many exclusions it was unreal to read. I...

So, the official line is to shorten the part of the handle that fits into the lift "trolley". Angle grinder to the rescue then!

I highly doubt that a non qualified home mechanic will be able to maintain the warranty. Here in the UK and the EU the mechanic must be trading as a mechanic/garage and be registered to pay business tax called VAT.

That a possible non-engineering solution. Yes I think the top of the handle would need another 2" of movement to "flip" the stand onto wheels safely. Fabricating a new handle (well, having on done) or perhaps more favourably an adapter made might be feasible. Kern Stabi replied and rather...

I was looking at an R12 in the dealer's the other day...it looks great!

This is a complete horror story. This is only my 2nd BMW, I'm not a BMWphile and can say with certainty that this isn't the best bike that I've ever had, but it is the one that makes me grin the most.

That would be the manufacturing solution moving forward to be inclusive of bar users. FFS we even have to be inclusive with MCs now :ROFLMAO:

I'm not with the lift now as I commute to work on the bike :) At the very last point when lifted and the wheels are about to lock into position; where handle is by the bags at the end of the handle lift, the handle is prevented going further that little bit extra which would make that happen as...

So after umming and arring about the Stabi I bit the bullet and got one. I didn't research it or I would have discovered that as @fleabag has found out it is NOT compatible with rear bars out of the box. It is probably 5-10° short of maximum extension where the lever can be pulled out. This...

Welcome bud.
