Re: Foot Pegs Adjustable ?

Does anyone have a set of these peg lowering things that they would like to sell?

Re: Range on a full tank...

I never use that function of my computer. I leave it on temperature. When the light goes on or when the little bars get down to two or three I start looking for gas.

There must be a saying about a wise man (or a fool) and the OBC reading. I presumed nothing. I guess I got lucky. Praise God.

Yep, I was too preoccupied with being lost in Asheville N.C.to be properly scared.

Re: Range on a full tank...

I got 264 mi out of my R1200R yesterday. If I had been keeping up with the mileage I would have been afraid. I filled it with 5.1 gals on the side stand.

Re: Brake Failure Light

Good for you and good for them. You don't hear the good stuff on dealers often. Mine offered me NO such kindness.

Re: Help me spend my money (on a r1200r)

I think that BMW makes the best OEM luggage of all the bike makers out there but I too would like some top opening aluminum cases.

OK uncle BS aside, what you need for touring is a OEM luggage rack.

Re: Attempt at restyling

Don, I think you did a great job! I'd put that on my bike in a heartbeat. I'm not artistic.
I don't care for the white stripes either. They don't capture the look of the old style white stripe borders at all for me.

Re: Help me spend my money (on a r1200r)

Sellers market, eh? Apparently I let my '08 R1200R with 17K go too cheap: 8 grand. I didn't exactly have people beating down the door to buy it either. Took me 6 months to sell it. I must have been doing something wrong. Try and source a used one right now .. not too many choices . .. looks like YM...

Re: Brake Failure Light

Figure out if your ABS is working. This was easy for me because my driveway is gravel and has some steep places. Contact Module Masters http://www.modulemaster.com/en/BMW/index.php. They fixed mine for around $300. The local BMW shop quoted me $1700 or $1800 for parts and $600 or $700 for labor. The...

Re: Brake Failure Light

I had this problem one time. I changed the bulb out and as best I can remember it it did not fix the problem. Seems like the problem just went away. I can't remember. If you have a trip planned and everything is working OK,, go. Just put up with the warning light.

Re: 1200gsa handlebar on r1200r

How much wider are the GSA bars? I would be interested in wider bars as well.
