Mine is left as well - seems there is a pattern here. I have an engine guard on the bike - cylinder guards to it bubbled right above it.

Yeah I was not that smart with using a needle I popped it by accident cleaning it and it simply cracked was the size of a quarter elliptic, so once it cracked that was that. I would expect something different from a company like BMW - very disappointing.

Guess will take off the valve covers and get it powder coated.

On my 2004 Rockster the power coat bubbled up - literally like a paint blister. It is the blueish powder coating and with it comes off some of what almost looks like sand stuck to the coating - My thinking is it is a bad cast an manufacturing failure - what are you guys thinking and has anyone ever ...

So I am used how a bike turns, but with my Rockster leaning left I am getting pushback on the handle - not the right just the left or at least muc...

I am sure all of you have seen this umpteen times - but I just got a Rockster - so brand new to this club. I usually go and change all fluid just to be sure and move on from there to the Tires after RTFM (reading the fine manual) and now I am confused - Tire pressure - on the Frame a sticker Front 3...
