Great news that you got it back safely Roger! Now you can go every day and look at it...mine is also in hibernation as I will only insure it again in February/ March.
Stef.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I had phoned the dealer ship and they said basically that it might be just too cold as the battery worked without a flaw two weeks ago and it has been on the trickle charger for the whole time. I have wrapped the bike up now under covers and well it will ha...

Sorry if that has been discussed somewhere else, but I did a search and all the searches pointed towards dead batteries which is not the case for me (I think): It is freezing cold outside at the moment. (- 4.5 degrees or 23.9 F). My bike is on a trickle charger and the battery seems to be fine. The ...

Congrats! I am sure you will love it! Happy and safe riding home!
Stef.

Just my speculation: could it be those people have habits or add-ons that lead to the failure repeatedly? hjsbmw- I have not altered my bike in any way. The only thing that I have done is attach a cable to the battery to work with my heated vest. That cable has been on for a couple of months and al...

Welcome to the forum and congrats to your new bike. What a motorcycle life story! Is there any bike you haven't been riding at some point
Stef.

Welcome Sean- hope you are lucky soon and find the bikeof your dreams!
Stef.

Four months after my fuel gauge malfunctioned and was repaired I have now the same problem again.

That's bad news Peter and I thought once they replace/ repair it the problem will be sorted forever??? Anybody else here who had this problem reaccuring?
Stef.

Well...and I thought my bike was perfect :( - fuel gauge developped a problem and my bike is only 7 months young. Will be repaired udner warranty next week. Happened from one second to the next...suddenly it showed me a full tank eventhoughI knew it wasn't full. Hope nothing else goes bonkers... Stef.

I have both and use the topcase pretty much exclusively (apart from touring). I had never had a problem with mine and it fits all I need.
Stef.

My husband rides a GSA 1200 and I have the R1200R. When it comes to highways I am miles ahead of him. He has much more issues with wind than I have. Off- road: obviously he excells but than most of the roads I can do as well just a little bit slower.
Stef.

Congrats! I bought mine in April of 2010 and love it to bits!
Stef.

I am with Don on this one. My dealer here in Vancouver told me that they sell about 4 R1200R for each 15 GSAs. He also told me that next year there will be the new R1200R available.
Stef.

Good for you! I wish there was one of these courses nearby Vancouver B.C.!
Stef.

Congrats on your new buy. I have the taller BMW screen and it works for me very well.
Stef.

I don't have this problem usually, but what exactly is "pre-loading"?
Stef.

Congrats Julian!!! Hehe did take me just a few miles to take my check book out...let us know how you get on with it.
Stef.

Welcome! Congrats to your new bike- great colour- I am sure you'll love it!
Stef.

As far as I know this is correct but I thought it's the ASC system which does it? You basically just need to use your front brake and ASC than applies both brakes.
Stef.

Thanks for your answers. ka5ysy, the same with the rear brake happened to me and frankly it scared the hell out of me! Down shifting didn't help either as I was already in first gear...I pumped the front brakes as angellr did but frankly it did leave me with a foul taste. I love my bike and off road...
