BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

The board owes no one anything.

No explanations are needed.

No explanations will be given as they see no issue.

Everyone is happy in the Orwellian farmyard.

Answers we have been waiting for, and if Whacoc is speaking officially for the MODs ; 1. "I personally don't even see an issue" 2. "Seems like a few are intent on dragging us down" Thats all I needed to hear - loud and clear! [-( I have more than a bad taste in my mouth and I don...

Dean, Bones, Your suggestion to the Mods. I think is on the mark. Dallara's posts of no value? What? :shock: Wow, that is loaded as well as very empty! There are few motorcyle enthusiasts I have met that are as passionate and generally knowledgable about their love for riding and sharing their exper...

The character, color and texture of this board is the diversity of its contributors and in particular, its paid members. It has international participation. A rich diversity of gender and society. You open it up to world wide diversity and what do you expect? Contributors who own and ride BMW's (And...

I have a National Cycles Street Shield EX screen - so I can lift it , lower and change the rake to place the air where I want it. Looks? 4, 10, 15 hours down the road and looks are no longer that NB. Smooth air is. What ever makes your ride more enjoyable. Do you use ear plugs too? My Arai over 45 i...

Do you have barbacks to lift and bring back your arms? Seat hight?

Adjust the screen so that when sitting, what is for you normally, the bugs hit the top of your helmet - and you are then most of the way there.

Everything on their site is, coming soon ...?

What are you paying for the bulb - is it a replacement for a 1157 - $70?

There are several variables. This is how I have concluded that there are different 6th ratios. We started with a friends 02 and my 04, (which came with the stated 'overdrive'). Both front and rear tires in generally similar wear condition. A clear road, both speedometers reading close to 80mph. His ...

3900 at indicated 80 - sounds like you have the a regular .80, 6th - tire wear condition ? 4500 for extended periods - abuse to the motor? WHAT? :shock: My bike has 2 sweet spots - 3800 or 80 indicated|(with new tires) and over 4500 which it 95 plus. I recently did several ride sections the same WE ...

Sounds like your clutch is slipping.

If you are not a wrench, get it looked at soon.

Right on the nailhead, Blitz!

Mares question started with safety as the issue. Let's hear from him/her - any further Q's.

I would hazard a guess that the dry one would implode and the wet one explode -with bits flying about!!

BobFV1,
have you had experience with the blue flame variety?

The other pics came up this time.

Am I seeing 4 leading shoe front drum brakes on this bike?

What a treat it would be to see and hear one of these in a vintage track meet!!!

Thank you again Dallara

My sides are sore from laughing!!

Loud pipes a safety issue? Been listening to posers too much have you? Got empirical evidence to share with us? Having ridden in Big Bend with Dallara, and the Hoon, the only time you hear the Y pipes and Remus was for the split second they passed you at warp speed and in the party zone. At times - ...

And.....? Is that all.....? (some pics seem not to have made it) Thank you. It would be nice to sit down quietly and begin to disect those machines..... Do you also have notes on their 2 stroke motor development? Anyone seen some of the bikes of this era at the Barber Sports Museum in AL ? Bones- I ...

My Cateye Astrale 8 currently has 10,192 miles registered on it - reset it to 0 for my new bike in March. Had about 15,000 on it from the last bike. Still the same battery. Been using them for years now. In the day time I use it as the primary speed device - my eyes are no longer that good and the l...

Wonderfull stuff!!!! That is truely EYE CANDY!! Stuff of my youth! In previous posts I have spoken about doing 3000 mile round trips on a Yamaha 100cc twin - 600 mile plus days, and 800 mile rides on a 50cc ( bored to 70cc) Mosquito engined Maserati. In the 60's. Friends said I would not get out of ...

insaneh., I have also ridden some in low temps - I believe all is well. cc., That is a recurring speculation - that BM 'knew' what they are doing when the subject of oil temps has been discussed several times over the years. And they are right - provided you are moving. Sync your throttle bodies wit...

Alan,
The front brakes look like 'disc' brakes to me - bicycle type calipers behind the forks?

Acacia.
