Re: low rev sluggishness

Mine isn't so much happening at that RPM but when held at a constant rate. I could be cruising at 30mph and feel random slight hesitations. I first felt it in the Fall and wrote it off to a tune up. Well, it didn't go away. I changed plugs, fuel filter, air...

Any idea is welcomed.

Re: Loose Sargent seat

It could be almost 1/2" rocking upwards from the back (where the seats meet). I've disconnected it 2x and moved it to the lowest setting (I had it a mid) but still have quite alot of movement. There's a little wearing where the seats interconnect but nothing to indicate that this much movement ...

Re: First BMW - me three

That is a sweet ride! I would have bought the R if one presented itself first. There was one in Delaware but I wasn't funded yet. The RT arrived on the local market and I jumped at the chance. My wife wanted a back rest so I had done some research for the R incase it one followed me home. :smt043 Go...

Re: First BMW - me three

Thanks for the welcomes. I have already lurked on those boards and recognize the names. One of my cages is a 89 Volvo Turbo and their forum (swedishbricks.net) is also a great resource.
