Have had the same problem with the final drive leak and the left pipe smoking cigars. Go back to the dealership and tell them about the oil seepage. I am waiting on a new redesigned piston/cyclinder and rings, and a new redesigned final drive seal. Last a checked with the dealership I was told...

Stop worrying for nothing. You're talking about the best seats out there. If you're not comfortable on a Day Long you need to make a doctors' appointment because there's definitely something wrong either with your arse, your mind or both!

I never keep it in neutral at stop lights as long as there's someone already behind me. Even if you keep in gear with the clutch pulled, I don't think you would have the reaction time to escape anything, anyway. Everything looks a lot brighter on paper or just talking about it. Real riding...

I find the remarks about how awesome it sounds, amusing. For 2.5k I would expect a fuller growl, a deeper/louder tone, something that would stand out compared to the stock pipes. Which unfortunately is not the case. To my ears anyway. It is almost impossible for a boxer engine to compete with a...

Picked up this awesome looking ride yesterday. 2004 BMW R1150GSA I used to have a 2002 1150GSA, same colour, same set up. I love it!

Great group of guys. Very helpful, very knowledgeable.

I don't understand why nobody mentions the Amsoil 80W90 synthetic gear oil API GL5. I have used it in all of my bikes, regardless of brand, that had a final drive or a hole for transmission oil change. They have a 75W90 Severe Gear API GL5 gear oil as well. Not one problem.

Look for a Yamaha Super Tenere. It is not a GS but it's a very capable bike in its own rights. Find a 2014 (second generation) and up and you'll be a happy man at the end of the day.

Is the K&N air filter oil compatible with the DNA air filter? Does the DNA filter come oiled from the factory just like the K&N air filter?

I never had more than three bikes at the same time. About a month ago, after being down to only two bikes, I sold my Yamaha FJR1300 being convinced at the time that the R18FE would be totally okay as the only bike. A few weeks ago I started getting the feeling that I had made a mistake in...

I totally agree with you.

I hope you're wrong because no manufacturer can afford to pull a prank like that, willingly or not. The speedometer can be off and that's true for most of the motorcycles I've owned through the years. But not the odometer, whether the recorded traveled miles are more or less than the actual...

That's more in line with what I've been gettin'.

Took the bike in for the 6k service where just a valve check/adjustment was asked from the dealership. I did the oil change and the air filter replacement myself. The valves needed adjustment so the bill was $338.00 dollars. It would have been only 225.00 if the valves were within specs. They...

Mine started smoking out of the left cylinder as well. Not every time, but now I'm obsessed by it and I look behind me every time I start her up. It still does it, but there's no definite pattern on when. I let the service department know about my problem so they are aware. I am dropping off by...

Big and sad clowns indeed! I was going to return the bike to the dealership about a week after I bought it, when I realised that the spoked rims were not tubeless. I might have overlooked that aspect but as a customer I can't really think of everything all the time, and I'm not really supposed...

I have a seven years extended warranty with 0 deductible. Would the battery be covered as well?

The lessons of positivity. I get it but I don't have to be Indiana Jones to explore and find out the truth about this and that. The maintenance videos for this particular bike are few and far between. We, the ones that own this bike would be much better served by a Shop Manual in any form BMW...

I am not even sure if it's legal to do so. Greed could be good at times and bad at others. This time around it's very bad. How can BMW release this bike that it's supposed to chop at Harley's profits in the cruiser market, when even their dealerships here in The States are kept in the dark on...
