Re: Removing lock from 28L Top Case

Success! Lock came out and now I have top case on my new RT!

That screwdriver tool worked great - took me 10 minutes and I was done!

Thank you all again.

Re: Removing lock from 28L Top Case

Thank you.
I saw this post already. Did you use these on 28L top case?
When I looked through the opening, I did not see same features - just a simple slot and it looked far from the lock.

Removing lock from 28L Top Case

Hey guys!
I just got 2013 RT today and want to move my 28L Top Box from my R to the new bike. I was wondering if any of you know how to remove the lock, so I can re-key it.

I know I can take it to the dealer but besides this advice - any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Re: My battery took a dump today :(

I recently replaced battery on 2009 R1200R with Shorai.
Awesome battery! Not to mention saved 8 pounds of weight.
Recommend it.

Re: car brake question

As much as I know, replacing brake caliper is not hard but you will have to bleed your system after.
What car is it anyways?
BTW - brakes are important - don't ignore your problem!

Re: New GS1200 125bhp boxer engine

I got the latest issue of BMW Motorcycle magazine and there is an extensive article about new water cooled GS. So I started to think what this engine would look like on R12R... water hoses, fans, radiators... GS has some covers for all this. Roadster may need to be redesigned extensively in order to...

Re: Mac users: lost auto login when upgraded to Lion

I assume you are using Safari to browse, right?

I upgraded all our Macs (4 of them) right after ML was released and ALL "forgot" ALL login info for ALL sites we used.
I believe it's just a nature of Safari when you upgrade to ML, as it is new with this OS X release. That's what I think.

Re: Oil Consumption is back

From what I know (and I'm fairly new to BMW motorcycles) at 12k dealer suppose to adjust valves and do other minor things. This forum is great (I love it) but since your bike is still on warranty and service was performed by the dealer, I would at least call them and let them know what you are seein...

Re: Oil Consumption is back

Did you change oil at 12k? Was any service preformed at 12k? If YES - did you use the same oil or used something else? Synth perhaps?

Universal camera mount

I purchased and installed Pedco UltrClamp camera mount on my R today and took it for a spin around our neighborhood. In my opinion works great. I was able to install our little camera (Olympus XZ-1) and shoot quick movie. I like it so far. Here is a link to the mount on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com...
