Hello, I had recently asked a question about the seat for Xmoto and Xch….,a few of you had read it but didn’t answer it! What is it that nobody is driving on or wants to have? I also found very little here in the talk about it. Is the Xmoto a bad motorcycle I should rather leave my fingers off? Please clarify unknowing MotoBMWler on Thank you

I’m usually only active in the Autoforum (BMW 3 Series E90, 335i, see picture). I’m 52 years old and I haven’t driven a motorcycle for about 25 years. It’s been 30 years since I passed the test for the heavy motorcycles in Switzerland. Now I’d like to buy a motorcycle from BMW. Preferably a used model. I’m about 168 cm tall or small. And with about 60 kg relatively light, but still strong enough to ride a motorcycle (triathlon, thank you). e that I don’t fit on some models of BMW because I don’t reach the ground. This probably concerns the enduros of BMW. I particularly like the model K 1200 R (S less because I don’t like the connection). I also wonder if it really has to be a 1200er. I also like the model F 800 R very much. However, the performance here is much more modest than with the K 1200. What would you do in my place? I would like to thank you already in advance for j egliche Feedbacks, Wish Happy Easter and Remain with Dear Greetings Thomas

The verbal derailments of a certain BMW forum member have to be reprimanded in public here. Almost every post is commented by him in faecal and gossip language. I think that is neither fair nor appropriate. Here are a few “cost samples”: – Rectally segregating corints ….. – Even car master and not even repairing a scooter? – who needs such a tail extension should have its fun – as little usable as the artificial a ufgepumpten boobs of any other dick templates……. – (List could be extended as desired) Sorry, but this is not supposed to be the common tone here. Maybe it is not even noticeable to the affected person himself ?? Greeting Achim

Hello dear Q-friends, after 3 beautiful years on my little Ninja, I want to change and have an all-rounder in mind. One can not get past the GS, for me the strongest competitor is the KTM 990 SM-T, because it combines the sportiness of the super sportsman with the comfort of the GS. But reason wins and now I have decided for a GS! Would like to have a 1200er, since with the 1100 or 1150s optically not like and the “new” probably also a little agile r seems to be. I want to spend around 8,500€ a maximum of 10,000€. With on board should be ABS, handle heating and if possible side suitcases. So now the question arises: What about the first models from 2004? Can you buy them or should you take songs which from 2005 on? Many of the offers have a high mileage, is it worth a certain extra price for a machine with a mileage below 30,000km? Are there any bugs on which you should pay particular attention? a few good tips I would be happy… PS: Oh yes, a ZX9r Ninja I would have to leave if someone was interested

Dear GS 1200 drivers, inspired by the comparison test wind signs in the magazine “The motorcyclist” I ordered a MRA Varioscreen. Mounted last Saturday and tried out Sunday for two hours. My conclusion: The part is brilliant. Absolute wind protection and no turbulence, i.e. no noise in the helmet and that from 0 to 180 km/h (more I could not test as I did not use the highway). The back current actually works. O.K. Optically, the part is not the open air The key data: I (186 cm) serial seat bench on low position. Textile clothes Schubert S 1 helmet Varioscreen lower part on medium position, upper part pushed up. At E-Bay there is also a favorable source of supply for approx. 135,- Euro without shipping costs. So my serial disc has now finally been used up. I don’t know if I can mount my miraculous flowjet again in the summer. Maybe I will try only the basic part. l the Varioscreen alone. May the white splendor soon be forgiven…

allo after various PN ́s, in which after my well-known return of my K SPORT now great offers are presented to me, it can be true that someone has a secret tip. so: I prefer a K 1200 GT, or a K1200R sport. the GT should: – max 11000€ – max 10000km – with ESA, ASR, seat heating, heating handles – of course accident-free with (best factory) guarantee be the K1200R sport: – max 9500€ – blue (so that I can make it black) – null – max 2000 km – ES A, heating handles, BC – of course accident-free – with (best factory-) guarantee his offers from BMW Martin and Bauer Bamberg not to report (I already have) !! greeting Achim

Hello, my K 1100 has run about 180ts. With age it runs ever rougher, vibrates stronger. Now after the long winter break I noticed this especially. It was done now: valve play tested, all E= 0.15 – 0.17 mm, all A= 0.25 – 0.28 mm. throttle flap poti adjusted, motor run synchronized, all oils changed and oil filter, engine oil 20W50. The ignition 0.24 mm v.o.T. error memory read out = no error. New candles. Compression is at 13,5 – 13, 7 bar at the 4 Cylinders (warm) so quite well still and evenly. The sliding rail chain tensioners were changed times at about 90ts, would not have been necessary at all, since there were almost no grinding or abrasion marks available. If one could have left in it. The question that bothered me, must possibly be changed the steering chain along with chain wheels for valve drive and crankshaft? Have heard different opinions from “but certainly, until stupidly, because chain is pre-stretched”. can someone tell me something concrete about it. If exchange is necessary approx. cost for e-parts, if someone knows. In advance my heartfelt thanks for a proper answer and dear greeting, Michele

Hello people I would like to buy the TT Urban Rider, but I don’t want to use it wirelessly because the battery is empty so fast,but by cable in my helmet speakers. Is that possible? Who knows about it? MFG horny77

I (44) am still unsure whether I should do the Motorcycle-FS. Here in auto.de it says that there should still be 1000 Euro funding until 31.12.2010:BMW supports every motorcyclist who successfully passes his driving test and at the same time admits a new motorcycle of the brand in his name, with a grant of 1000 Euro. This offer is valid for all who have purchased your driving license in the second half of 2009 or will acquire 2010. Excluded are the Models HP 2 and S 1000 RR. 1240 Euro pay newcomers, regardless of the motorcycle purchase, only 699 Euro for the beginner package of the driver equipment. The offer, which includes the complete safety clothing, can be used by all motorcyclists who have purchased their driver’s license after 1 August 2009 or will acquire it until 31 December 2010. The price reduction for the driver equipment also applies to driving schools. “Airshell” jacket at a special price of 249 euros and thus acquire around 38 percent or 151 euros under the regular selling price. In addition, BMW Fahrschulen continues to offer special conditions (Fahrschul-Select) for training new vehicles of the types F 650 GS and F 800 R as well as discounts for new vehicles accompanying the driving school. These apply to all models with the exception of the HP 2 and the S 1000 RR. The exact conditions are to be inquired at the dealer. 2. Does anyone know if this action will be extended?

Hi Guys, unfortunately, the cable on my 80GS is directly torn off. Age weakness probably That’s why I need completely new or? Since I didn’t buy or install something like that myself, I don’t know what’s right for me. That’s why I’m going to ask you about it. The control should only fit the look of the GS and should also heat well. Like here the quite hidden control system https://www.louis.de/…/10032697 as an example. Do they know one, they are good? Or can you give me other I mean the price is really good for the Koso.
