Hello everybody! I am planning to Techron my gas tank for two refill prior to proceed the usual oil change & in the process switch from Amsoil to Spectro because my mechanic find my spark-plugs a bit too lean since many services.... he think it would help. The deal is that I already use 91 Chevr...

Oh lord! I am reading you guys... and I am lost. Are we talking about a fix when the fuel sensor contribute to wrong estimate on the dashboard... My R got that problem since almost now 2 yrs... it estimate 140 miles maybe 120 until the bike stop dry dead on the freeway if I didn't preemptively refil...

Hummmmm... :P This stuff might be nice to use in urban mode when needed to play it light... for example when going to party with the bike and still wearing the bike suit. Seems much lighter than a tank bag and more ergonomically designed to carry around with the shoulder strap. Just city wise conven...

Good news parkec ! I wrote earlier that I had some quite similar issues going on with my bike and my battery is 2 or 3 yrs old but I am riding everyday constantly sucking on it... 70 to 100 miles a day. You had weird dashboard boots & reboots if I remember well so me as well... I am going try a ...

Thanks guys! I just needed few feedbacks because since almost 10 crazy obsessional days I was stuck at figuring out a clean way to use those magnets for this specific project but I think I am going to give up on them now... I ordered two 18" to 60" adjustable ROK straps. Also a special tha...

I copy you dbrick...I knooowww it's a mess. But trust me those magnet are almost dangerous to manipulate because of their aggressiveness. I like the magnet idea but I feel like I need to stick with the good old bungee stuff. I carried the board from San Diego to LA with bungees when it was new in a ...

Interesting.... it sound like we have almost the same problem parkec as I recently described on my "Weird dashboard booting..." post. Except that my issues happened so far %99 when my bike was parked and never lead to being stuck with a dead bike on the side of the road... power come back ...

Hello! Question First! What would you use to safely glue 3 or 4 small pieces of metal as big as a quarter coin on the plastic lead of a GIVI rear topcase? I need a glue that will be outdoor resistant, easy to remove & cleanable if needed to be. I have this tedious & stressful task these days...

@ deilenberger Yes Don I have a Centech fuse box with a relay that came with the fuse box or the canbus adapter... I don't remember precisely. But I agree it look like a protective system is activated. My mechanic removed the gas tank and moved everything in there but didn't anything... he then als...

Excuse this late follow-up but I was travelling... @ deilenberger Whoa! Don that's a dynamited check list! It's now printed & in my vault! be sure of that! @ LostRider I could not be around Ojai finally last week but planning to go there soon... Otherwise feel free to call me when you'r in Los A...

Thanks Lost Rider! What's "R"your mileage? I ride sometimes near Ojai... actually I have to be there in 2 weeks. This Bazzaz fuel controller seem an interesting option, the company look reliable... I am in LA and they are in Chino Hills I think that might help as well. I have to say that e...

At around 75 000 miles what are the few mechanical things to adjust or clean on the engine (in addition to the usual services) that I could request on my bike to sort of rejuvenate her?... to feel it fresh, speedy & responsive as it was during the first years for example. What could I as ask my ...

"Funny!" it happened to me exactly around the same mileage... the bolt on the right side broke. It's annoying when it happen! I was cautious before but not as much as today. I do go real smooth in controlled motion for both situation parking & leaving. when leaving while I release the ...

Thanks guys for the tips'n clues! This is a mystery situation... My mechanic don't get it either, he is going to remove the tank again next week and look at it for an hour or two. Battery is around two years old, passed fine several time the low battery test... and I use my battery tender systematic...

Since almost a year I have those strange rebooting of the computer when I turn on the contact key... Failure pattern remain so far unexplained.... it present itself so randomly and under so many variable versions that I can only describe the essential of it. When I key on often it take 2, 3 or 5 sec...

Quick question: My new Hyperpro shocks I suspect need to be serviced after breakin period as their milage is now around 15k....I need my bike everyday so where in Los Angeles area can I refurbish the original BMW shocks so I can just swap them while I send the Hyperpro on east coast given that they ...

Anybody know at which lowest battery voltage our R1200R computer is shutting down the whole bike ?

Someone wrote about it few months ago on this but can't find it.

Wonderful !
I kind of guessed something like that.....never felt my bike "dysfunctional" since I own it so I was kind of surprise when it happened.

But thanks for the tip

Do we have a system that protect the engine when we reach the RPM red? I was playing a bit on a safe straight road the other day...wasn't looking at the RPM but still was trying to push the bike over there in fourth of fifth gear just for few seconds.... but suddenly I felt the engine repressing pow...
