Think you need to wash the bike no matter what.

Re: Found an F800ST. Have an R1150R. What do you think?

Ton of info on the f800riders forum. If I recall the '06 and '07 had lots of troubles. Computer remapping seems to have solved the stall fault. Recent reports of bearing failures on the rear on the older units including early '08s. I've had my '09 F8ST for 2 years and 19k miles. Never had a stalling...

Re: Leaving Wednesday and have a problem

Took everything off and reset everything a few times. Came up with the pad, sleeping bag and tent on the pillon. There was enough room in the cases for the rain gear. The top case is empty.

Leaving Wednesday and have a problem

Loaded up the bike today for a test ride and took a short ride to see how everything would be. Have a F800ST with Trax cases and a top box. Behind me was a bag with rain gear and sleeping bag....

Re: Little things, greater satisfaction

Thanks for the great tips! =D> I really like the Grip Puppies. Very easy install, doesn't look like an add on. Vibration reduced quite a bit.

I really enjoy reading the mod's on this forum. :D
