Hi all, yep, I've just had to have all the bearings in my final drive replaced after a failure of the main bearing. There were metal shavings everywhere and I figured it's just safer to replace it all "while I'm in there" than have to go through the whole procedure again. Now going to have...

Hi all, once again thanks for your input into this. It turned out that it was the switch unit on the left turn signal switch which was faulty. Disassembled the unit, soldered in a switch from a scrapyard and all works again!

Hey again...got in the replacement unit, installed it and unfortunately it doesn't fix the problem. Any other ideas much appreciated!!!

The bike that I have now has blinkers that have to be manually reset so apart from being on the other handlebar it shoul...

Hi everyone, I'm a new to BMW rider in Scotland. Been checking through the forum getting a feel for the kind of things to look out for in a R1150R and finally settled on a bike. '02 model, 38000 on the clock and excellent condition. Hoping to be able to pick her up middle of Feb and then have a 370 ...
