My headlights are adjustable for either left or right............this suits me as one day I might move back to the UK. Does your not have this feature? Hi Jon, It appears it doesn't as the dealer had to order up a Left hand unit. I have had a close look at the bike and can't see any adjustment. I m...

Headlights on UK Spec ED80

I wonder if anyone has been affected by the scenario that happened to me when I bought my ED80 new, from my dealer. My bike went in for it's first service at 600 miles and an eagle eyed technician phoned me to let me know that my bike was fitted with a headlamp group for a Euro/USA spec machine ie t...

Re: Bigtime ABS recall on the way

I read an advance notice sent to BMW dealerships today outlining a worldwide ABS recall for about 8 models of BMW bikes. This is a definite, not a maybe. The K1200R and S are among the affected. In the case of the R, a complete replacement of the front brake and rotor are also required. Expect to h...

Hi Rearro, it's a 2005 525 D M Sport. Not nearly as much fun as the bikes or the lawn mower for that matter.............

Re: ESA Addtional setting

I have a K1200R with ESA and find the ride to be bit harsh even in comfort mode. I have posted across a couple boards asking if I have any recourse and one person mentioned having the ESA on his R1200RT set to a softer setting by his BMW tech. Does anyone know if this is possible on the KR? -r Hi R...
