Is there any way to figure out exactly when the bike was built? Maybe by VIN? There's a black sticker on the upper back of the fork (throttle side) with the manufacturer date and VIN. Mine says "MFD 0908", so Sept. 2008. You can call BMWNA about any recalls on your bike. They'll ask for t...

Hi,

Is there any way to figure out exactly when the bike was built? Maybe by VIN? Any info would be appreciated.

it usually happned around 5-6k rpm.....and only under hard acceleration

here is one more for you guys to chew over.. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing a brief (less the 1 sec) when going throught the gears in hard acceleration. This was especially bad if you crank the throttle open in 6th gear....the bike would start to accelerate but all of a sudden it feels lik...

yes. there were numerous discussions about this on the forum. search is your friend

great report.....i have been using SmarTire unit for more then a year now and it is very simular to the one you are describing. it has saved my butt 2 times already....once while riding 2up....this was the best safety purchase i have made for the bike....i think these systems are a must for any bike...

I am using Wunderlicht (spelling?) levers for about a year now and can only say they are perfect for my hands which are small. Yes, they are expensive but given the level of comfort and adjustability I can only recommend them. You retain the original adjustment knob, you also have the quick change w...

I'll sell one to you for $300 + shipping. it has 1K miles on it and otherwise in perfect condition....pm me if interested

i let my friend, who had a few too many, sit on the bike. as i turned arround he decided to get the side stand up to see how heavy the bike is i guess....down he went on the driveway as i was standing there with my jaw dropped.....i was more pissed off at myself though....should have known better......

great job!!!.......the bike looks awsome......

....go test ride it.....just make sure you bring the check book..... r12r is light and easy to handle.......with your hight and inseam you should have no problem flatfooting it with the low seat.....once you get it, your SO will want to borrow it all the time......... .....so.....get it and enjoy it...

The service manager had no explanation of why this happened or how to prevent a repeat. But he was SURE it wasn't covered under warranty! The clamp was in place but they replaced it anyway. this is weird......everything should be covered under warranty for 3 years accept for the normal wear and tea...

great write-up!!!......thank you Gypsy......I have some friends in Frisco, Texas and wanted to do a ride there for a long time.......Texas is beautiful.....but it's a very long ride for me from California......now seeing those nice roads and scenery....i have a bit more incentive to just get up and ...

i have installed an aftermarket TPMS system called SmarTire which I purchased at www.vulcantire.com and I am very happy with it. If you do a search for TPMS treads here you'll find a pic of this system installed on my R12R. It is adjustable system where you can program a different tire pressure as m...

antifreeze???.....radiator????.....hmmmm

I am 5' 10" with 30" inseam sitting on the standart seat. The zTechnic screen looks nice but is not working for me. The screen is 18.5" and gives very good protection.....but the buffeting, the noise is very overwelming for me. I'll keep on looking but like people said here you will h...

ok....makes sense....thanx
