I have an 800 r and every now and then the ground for my feet is too far away and the power is not enough to hold up the machine. Did it break my ankle for a year. Do you have any idea what is perfect as a ground spacing holder? I don’t really want a suitcase, just for need. THANK YOU

The question is whether I tip the right engine oil into my R1200ST (air-cooled). The specifications are in the photo. It’s just for cars, that’s why the question. Otherwise, the engine is ventilating as always. No abnormalities. Oil consumption about 50ml / 1000km. There’s really hardly any choice with me. Motul would still be there. Maybe that would be better. Unfortunately, it comes in the 1 litre bottle. Mine in the 5 litre canister, which I find quite practical. The price is i €5 / liter. Maybe someone knows about you.

HI would like to introduce myself briefly, am 22 years young, currently living in Bavaria (near Regensburg) I already had a motorcycle at the age of 18 (Yamaha R6) at that time I had bought it new and throbbed on 34 HP, was not so awesome :-). Unfortunately I had to give this absolute dream machine, I say a two-legged being persuaded me to do it… It is too dangerous, she was afraid of me blablablabla…. Now I am alone again and can do what I want 🙂 Rter motorcyclist, if I see such a machine Ichts already powerful in the right hand… However, I don’t have to have R6 anymore, the things are really too fast for me with 130 hp, I’m out of the age 🙂 Have I looked at my dealer ne BMW R850R, I really find a dream bike. What do you have to consider when buying? Can I buy a used machine without any risk? How is that with the year of construction, was there anything changed every year? Have me so with BMW motorcycles no can you recommend the machine for a beginner without hesitation? How does it look like with the running maintenance? How old or how much km should the machine have on top of it? What about the quality and durability? Thanks already for the answers gruß marco

Hello, I’m usually on the road at the Opel Forum, so please excuse me if the woman has already been asked: I would like to buy a F 650 GS evetuell. Or maybe also a Scarver What do I have to pay attention to? Since I am looking for a used one, I am grateful for tips.

Hello together, I am a newcomer since I recently made the moped certificate and have not been busy with mopeds until now and have not yet had one. Now I have received a R1100R offers with which, so the previous owner informed me, the clock the battery after 3 weeks of service is empty. This problem is known with the model. Can you agree or seems to be rather a problem with the electrics here.

Do you know what one of the ABS is? The Federal Institute for Road Engineering has commissioned the department of the Technical University of Darmstadt (fzd) to examine the braking of the motorcyclist with various motorcycle braking systems. The summary can be viewed here: . In the 33-page study (available since the end of 2003) you can read: Quotation: “Most ABS systems have a software-side overlay protection, which in the case of a lifting rear wheel the brake dru With such secured standard braking systems, the overrun protection can be bypassed by abuse actions. Partially, this overrun protection is supplemented by a limitation of the possible delay” (p.14) And finally: Quote: “A overrun control of blocking-protected brakes is necessary, existing overrun control must be improved.” (p.34) What is a “abuse action” with ABS? And what’s the problem with the “existing rollover detection”?

Hello, I drive the K1200S. I read in the user manual, when charging the battery (not above the power socket) the battery should be completely disconnected. But have the battery now charged 2 days in the built-in and connected condition with the Ctek XS 3600. Can there be any damage to it? The charger turns off after all, or in the charge maintenance when the battery is full. Need urgent tips. Furthermore I have a battery warning when I start the engine. Despite charge How about the other K1200S drivers?

For the first time, I would like to greet all the members and thank them in advance for your help. As can be read from the title, I would like to buy a BMW Dakar, which I would like to have for the whole year. To my person: Ride for 2 years motorcycle,ok it is a 50cm3 scooter ^^,bin 1.76m tall around the 70kg and have an A1, i.e. I would drive the Dakar (theoretical).My questions: 1. Should I buy the Dakar now (pronounced before winter) or should I wait if a new 2006 model comes out? 2. What does it look like now with BMW with the ABS, since they had difficulties with it? 2.1. Does ABS pay off with the Dakar? 3. Which bike would you recommend to me BMW Dakar or Yamaha XT660R? I would like to ride more in the country, so, my knowledge, the Yamaha would be better suited and cheaper for it. On the other hand, I have mentioned a hoec at BMW , as already mentioned above in this forum. In terms of quality, I’m not quite sure if there will be big differences. But I also have to say to the Dakar that it’s my absolute dream bike (besides the HP2 ;-). With friendly greetings, Nazgoul

after all the threads with the topic Are BMW motorcycles life-threatening? to be closed….. yesterday in some program I saw the report about it. it will probably not scratch the boys at BMW…but… was just before the “print” and wanted to buy me an R 1200 GS. my Africa Twin is still from the first series….and should be exchanged. however, an “old wheel” is not so good to slow down more than a new one that doesn’t slow down at all! to become a japanese again. they can obviously do better. my2cents mike

Hello! I’m driving my driver’s license, then I can drive a maximum of 25kw (until lider only 23) and now I’m looking for a motorcycle. I’ve looked at the F 650 CS and I’ve also been doing a test and I’ve felt quite comfortable. I’m small, 1.63cm, and of course I want a small light motorcycle. Now I’d like to hear your opinion. Is the F 650 CS a motorcycle for little beginners??????? What are your experiences with her?
