I have a Kern Stabi lift in good order, front and rear that I am selling. £200 plus postage. I will only ship within the UK.

Do you need the Ultimate version of Motoscan (49 euros) to be able to actuate the ABS control unit for brake bleeding?

Would like the Memphis shades winglets!

Welcome good choice, they get admiring looks and comments every time you go out. Never had that on a bike before. Meet up for a ride out sometime? I am a bit of a fair weather rider now.

It looks like the front tongue needs replacing, just a question of whether the rear bolt hole position is common.

Can anyone tell me whether the Transcontinental seat (719 version) will fit to a Classic. I assume the front tongue is the same, and the frame and rear subframe are the same on both, and that the rear bolt an position is common to both. The only requiremeent might be to remove any middle...

There is more to it than just removing the rear wheel. You have to remove the cush drive rubbers, you may then be able to inspect the breather by looking through one of the holes in the drive plate that locate the rubbers (see post 35 on this thread, you can see the photo of the breather - a...

Changed my front tyre after 5000mls with Outex conversion. No problems in all that time. Rear still going with no problems. The tape looks good still, and after refitting the new tyre, the pressure is holding as before. I was surprised at how much even the protective tape has stretched and...

A good review, though it should perhaps include something about the wind buffeting with the stock screen. I am also 6-3" and anythng above 65mph is eyeball rattling. There are all manner of cures. I use a screen deflector/extender, which reduces it. I have also found that with my particular...

Almost certainly grease. Was this event associated with hard riding and high air temperature? It happened to me on two occassions, the first coincided with air temp about 30 deg C. Eventually BMW took a look. First photo is the back of the bevel drive housing, its clean. If there was an...

Alf this is fanciful from your dealer. According to the photo you posted of your bike the deposits are coming from the gap between the bevel housing and the drive plate. For it to be "deposits" from the cush drive it would have to come from between the drive plate and wheel hub. Whilst the...

Didi can you tell us what has been the response from BMW headquarters since you reported the problem? Have you tried phoning BMW Assist and demanding that they recover the bike and provide you with a replacement until the matter has been fully investigated and resolved as it is a safety issue...

Noticed something like this when cleaning, though I did not think it was oil, more like black dust, I assumed cush drive rubber wear as it wipped off with a damp cloth. I have polled yes though as My initial thoughts may have been wrong. 09/21 bike with 5.5k ml. Due for srevice in two weeks...

Saw a standard and TC at this meet today. Anyone from this forum? Great to see three R18s.

My front wheel Outex tubeless conversion was successful with the first attempt. For the rear wheel, I removed a section of the taped rim either side of the leak, and applied Outex from a new kit on just this section. Mounted the tyre and too my dismay discovered a leak from a spoke on the...

Has anyone else experienced the mid exhaust heat shields getting scratches from boot heels, either from when pushing out the side-stand, or perhaps just from inadvertently resting on them when riding. Is there such a thing a a clear heat resistant tape that could be used to protect them? My...

Have you done your front wheel yet? I tried laying down the 42mm tape in just a short section and found it to be too difficult. With my experience of the rear wheel and having to cut the sealing tape every 6-8 spokes, I decided to apply the same principle to the front wheel. As you know the...

Another three hours prep, marking guidelines for the tape edges, grinding two out of every four spoke nipples, the ones that protrude by about 4.5mm, reducing them by a couple of mm to the same height as the others only on the front wheel. I used an angle grinder in the end as my Dremel gave up...

My wheels are off and now unshod. Preping them for the Outex tubeless conversion. Which involved first washing with lots of detergent, then acetone to clean off residue from the inner tubes, then more washing. What I noticed was the water was beading as a result of some hydrophobic coating...
