THanks so much everyone! that link was the same thing on my bike....guess i'm not the only one....so happy:)...just gota finda rainy week and bring her in and looked at.

this is what Atlanta BMW wrote me today.... Dave, The leak is probably from the rear engine seal, or the counter balance shaft seal, or possibly the front transmission seal. Its hard to tell until we remove the transmission. Either way we need to make an appointment and get it in to do the work. It'...

I was cleaning my bike yesterday and a saw some oil I've never seen before. Is this normal? Should I take it in?



Thanks, Dave

If you do not have it check it out. I think the bike looks better with it than without.

Does anyone know where I can get a pair of these? Or how much they are at the dealer?

Thanks!

Well I got the estimate today....

wheel - $725
tire - $129
tire disposal - $2
mount and balance tire - $72
fast shipping on the wheel - $72.50

total - $1071.74

He said he'll write the check!...So I should be on the road by Friday night!! I can't wait!!!

Yeah I brought it to abmw...I'm not 100% happy with the customer service there....I'll try Blue Moon next time I think....

I watched my baby go today....we'll see what the damage is:(....Hope I get it back before the holiday!

:( Well my friend just got a new used bike yesterday. He wanted me to take it out and see how I like it. Well when I was out, I told him to do the same with mine. I get back to about 20 people standing around my bike. Somehow when he was taking off, it kicked out from underhim, and slamed right into...

yeah i broke one of mine...the left snaped right off....so if anyone wants a right mirror i have one...I ordered 2 new ones on ebay with the thread being 10mm....hope they fit:)....

Does anyone know the thread size for the mirrors on the R1200R? It's it 10mm?

Or how I could figure it out?

Thanks,
Dave Vagt

The R1200R is just ugly? Im sticking with my baby. She looks good, rides great and is perfect to me.

You're ugly!!

Actually, UPS didn't have my suite number on the package, so I had to go and pick it up the the UPS Station. When I got it, I used the tool out of my tool bag and put it on at the UPS Station! Took 2 min. It's so nice. Used it on my way home....

It fit perfectly! I just need a little practice using it.

This looks really cool! Does anyone know if they make an American version?

I've had the toughest day trying to find out what Throttle Control fits the R1200R (No one knows, since it's such a new bike). The "Adventure Workshop" Guy and I got it! - It's the same control that goes on the K1200R and the K1200S. - The item # is : ccf500 - Heres a link to the exact one...

Wow...a shopping bag can make that big of a mess! It's smelled horrible! I've already got most of it off with a wire brush, but I'll now go and get some steel wool. Thanks for the replies!! I really thought it came from the bike...but now it all makes sense.

Thanks agian....dave

Here's my desktop pic.....

It was 62 out today! I rode around a little, and suddenly at a stop light, I started to smell this burnt rubber coming from my bike. I got her home and looked at it and found this crap all over my exhaust. I attached a picture on where it was. I wish i took a picture of the stuff. I let the bike coo...
