Re: Coming to the end of Rockster life.......
Well it should be all settled this week.....
1. Rockster appears to have a new owner from Thursday
2. S1000R will then be collected on Friday......I may be chomping at the bit a little if it arrives, say, today.......

If I trade, I may well strip it back.

Coming to the end of Rockster life.......
After 9 years of ownership from new, I've taken the difficult decision to kiss goodbye to my Rockster. I'm also kissing goodbye to shaft drive and hello to chain again :shock: But I am not leaving BMW.....I just ordered an S1000R with DTC and DDC. I nearly pissed my pants on the test ride, it's so d...

Re: Slight CHOKE problem
RB, I assume you cottoned onto the fact that it's the choke assembly.....
sounds like a real pain the backside.....it's due in the shop for them to fix some of their repairs so I'll ask there. I can see it all going walkabout if I do it.....!

Slight CHOKE problem
My CHOKE/fast idle has recently been very hard to close off but now it's become easy....sadly the reason is that the position 1 does not actually do anything any more. So to start it, I have to put the thing into position 2 and hold it. What do the more learned members thing it could be? Cable? Swit...

Re: I may no longer be a Rockster owner....
so I'm still awaiting the return of my bike - they're awaiting a replacement Laser Titanium can. I may have to fit it myself so I can have my bike back before Christmas.....or tell them to get a similar car from Akrapovic etc. The good news is that the frame and suspension are not bent. So the damag...

Re: I may no longer be a Rockster owner....
So it survived! Allegedly without frame and suspension damage so it's cosmetic fixes only....! But still costing nearly 60% of the bike's present value.....

Re: Clocks...
gut feeling, RB, is it's an improvement. More light, better colour for night reading. I'll confirm.....and I have a spare set I could let you have. That's most kind of you! But personally I'd just keep them as spares if I were you. :) that's a shame, I had them pencilled in as your wedding present!...

Re: Tyres:
MEZ6 on at the moment, wear is excellent and grip is excellent. OE were BT012s.
I'd be tempted with Road Pilot 3s next time.

Re: Clocks...
I just ordered some T5 bulbs from ebay for a quid per pack. One of 2 and one of 10.
From the measurements, it looks like they will fit. I am one bulb down so I can test bulbs by just pulling the beak off
News later this month when they arrive.....
