Still hear, still have the '07 r1200r with approx 26000 mi on her. Barely broken in! Lookin forward to the "19 Rally in TN,...see you all there!

Went out and measured my black with white pin striped stead...bottom of the top tripel tree to the top of the fork seal is 7 5/16 "...that puts the seal height below the pin stripes...also the bottom of the header pipe, at the joint going into the cat. collector...2 into one... is a close 10 5/...

Installed a set of PR3s on the o7 R...took a 200 mile ride yesterday and to my surprise I became aware of a rumble and a slight vibration above 70mph...I haven't started a trouble search yet..yes the tires were static balanced...inflated the first time without valve stems and then the valve stem ins...

Looking for info on the instal of a oil pressure gauge on my R1200R...my thinking is one could remove the pressure switch and tee in a gauge sending unit and still maintain the original light switch...any problems with this?...what is the original thread size, diameter and thread pitch, of the now p...

For what it's worth...GPS & radar detectors need 12 volts to power up but the cigarette plug-in has a regulated voltage control in line to knock down the surge voltage at engine start up. The voltage out of the "plug in " is 5 volts...hard wirinig the device direct to the battery or a ...

Try a EZ_Detail brush...they come in small and large sizes . It's a tapered cone configuration built on a flexible wire center support with a robust soft protective end covering...the bristles are what I call a smashed-end nylon bristle, soft and non scratching. This brush gets into all of those har...

It would be great if a tire savy individual, tire rep, or a manufacture rep would educate us as how to determine the proper tire pressures for the tire your running. This past summer at the MOA rally I had a conversation with different tire reps...one company suggested the recomendation of the bike ...

This may shed some light on why things won't go...a service mgr. told me that anything below 11.8 volts, the computer [? processor } shuts the start system off...my dash lights a glow, looking normal but the bike wouldn't turn over...the sudden death had set in...a new battery fixed it. O Reilys Adv...

Better late than never... for those who store info for use latter on...11.8 volts is the shut down voltage ...any less the computer says to the system ,"not enough voltage to crank" damage to components may occur This was told to me by a service manager at the local BMW shop.[dash lights c...

Tinkertoy lives about 24 miles from the Gap and he has a 07 blacck ,white stripes machine ...any one headed this way give me a holler would love to meet,greet,and ride 865 696-4769 any time

tinkertoy apologizes to ya all, the socket I said works, S-K 4421 doesn't [It measures .874'' OD] The harbor Freight socket looks like it's the anwser

Guys... try a pawn shop...go throgh there 3/8 drive sockets and extensions..less than $ 10.00 should get you in business. I found a S-K 4421 5/8 spark plug socket, it's 3 7/8 long and has a 7/8 outside diameter works great. Harbor freight sells wobble extensions,allowing for aprox. 8 t 10 degree def...

In reply to the bending of the seat " hooks" , the best way to describe the minor alteration is that the tips that go into the seat pan didn't change position only the hooked turned down portion of the hook was tipped up. A better way to say it , the rounded end of the hook was positioned ...

Riding in the rain is a problem, water everywhere. A thought...after a washing to bring your steed back to its beauty try using a leaf blower to dry it off, pay particular attention as the air stream passes over the filler cap...water comes out of the space between the filler cap and tank, lots of i...

I have recently installed a PC 625...no case modification but iI did modify the positive terminal...The PC 625 has better specs,as I read them, the difference in the PC625 vs the PC535 is the height, about 3/4 of an inch taller There is plenty of seat base clearence although one needs to slightly mo...

If ypu opt to blow out the filter use low air pressure, as the gentleman before me pointed out one can rupture the filter paper... low air pressure: 30 lbs max. Remember a necked down blowgun can up the velocity of the air...30 psi line pressure out of a fairly opened bkowgon should work. Stihl chai...

The question is...would a volt meter monitoring the system voltage be of value in detecting the onset of the sudden death of the battery? A volt meter placed across the battery terminals?...or ...your suggestions as to the optimum meter placement would be appreciated With the long distant rides ahea...

I'm looking for photos and comments regarding tail bags. There is the Axio hard shell and a Chase Harper, Stealth clam shell tank bag that has caught my eye...a year or more ago there was a photo posted showing such...can't find it? I intend to place the bag on the rear portion of the seat, very sel...
