Thanks Bob, I'll let you know how it goes

Thanks for the advice and recommendation

I'll give it a go as BMW Uk have quoted £350 to replace the pump - ouch

Hi all, Developed a high whining noise a while back and after a quick post here and responses I believed the problem was my alternator belt. See post: http://www.r1150r.net/board/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=25160 Anyway, after a quick research about how to access the belt I removed the cover and immedi...

Yes mate!! It was indeed raining (a bit), pissing down at one point as we say in good old sunny England!! Uncannily, my bike has also done just on 4,500 miles

It still makes the noise now though even though it's obviously dried out so what's the cure?

Thanks for the reply

Hi all, Went out for a ride last week and apart from a near empty tank all was well. I filled up and went on my way without problem for a few miles before stopping at a shopping complex to have a rest and a look around. Upon returning to my bike I started her up and set off but immediately became aw...

I've got a Ducati Diavel as well as my 09 1200R and the BM would look like it was reversing if I could race the 2

Love my Beemer though

Did look at the GPR, but succumbed to the Akrapovic - removed the baffles and it sounds absolutely awesome!!

Fitted my motobuzzo lights today - very impressed, used the supplied lights and switch gear, relays, etc and they work a treat. Very unobtrusive design that blends in perfectly with the bike. Would definitely recommend

Great choice Norm - you'll love it.

Good to see another UK addition to the forum

Got a Vespa GT60 but fancy a Ducati Diavel

I had a F800ST before I switched to the 1200. Great bike and really quick and flickable but my back and wrists couldn't take it

Absolutely love the 1200 though which is, in my opinion, streets ahead as an all rounder.

Same here :roll: , mine went 2 weeks after I got the bike and it was just a wEek outside of warranty. After playing my face the dealer got BM to agree to replace FOC as a goodwill gesture. Don't think it's going to last or long though - after every fill up it takes a couple of miles to register the ...

Us Brits are so refined

Hi from a fellow uk guy

Actually looking to replace my chrome one with an Akropovic if I can get one second hand.

Loving the bike though after moving from an F800ST due to a bad back

Did mine last week - what a nightmare. You need hands the size of a baby with the finesse of a pianist and the strength of the hulk

Look good when they're done though
