advice

Hi all, I am considering a few customisations to my X Country, and I wanted to hear from you what you think, previous experience, and any recommendation. First of all, I am not a massive fan of the headlight: it feels small, and the grey plastic fairing looks a bit cheap imho. I would consider...

Good evening All. Could I kindly ask if any others riders are suffering from the awful squeak from the brakes on their 1250 GSA's? I took mine back to Ocean BMW and asked why it was making the noise. Apparently, it is something to do with debris between the disc and pad and is the apparent...

Attached are two photos of four what look like spacers or brackets. Does anyone have any idea what they are from? I have picked them up from somewhere in the past but not sure where or what they are for. They might have come with some Wunderlich upper crash bars that i purchased second hand...

Hello - i'm new to this forum and looking for some help as I'm close to making a purchase on a new R1250 GSA. I'm interested to know whether anyone has taken the HP Exhaust option when purchasing their new bike. I can only find limited reviews/youtube videos of people equipped with the HP...

Hi guys, I have a 2016 R1200GS that will soon be out of warranty. Up until now I've been taking it to BMW for its servicing. I'm thinking of keeping the bike long term and would like to save money on servicing by taking it to an independent motorcycle service centre. Does anyone know of a...

Hi All, I am choosing between 3 GSs and am unsure for which one to go for. The three bikes are: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201807178536719, https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201811242719064 A standard TE ( which has no Autotrader page but is similar mileage to...

I've got a Richa Touareg jacket and trousers which are great, though the trousers are too tight to get over my work trousers. Taking trousers in a bag and getting changed is a ball-ache I'd like to avoid. Therefore, can anyone recommend a pair of trousers that are waterproof, have some...

We're in the process of buying a new house (move in on the 4th) and this one has a garage so only one thing for it. A bike! I'm looking at 1150 GS Adventures and have around £5,000 (or possibly more for the right one) to spend. Ideally silver or white with full aluminium luggage. I'd be really...

I just picked up a new GS 1200 Adventure. It has Nav 6 but...I also like to have my phone mounted as to me it is still better for traffic and routing using Google Maps or Wase, the Nav 6 is a backup. I am looking at Ram to find a mount for the phone, the Ram X Grip will do the job but.....I...

Hiya, Mac here. I'm an American living in London for a few years. I plan to take some mid distance 2up tours through the UK and Continent with the wife, as well as weekend rides to-from various rugby clubs (I'm a referee). After having to leave my dear sweet Motor Co money pit behind at home, I...

Having just got a 89 R100GS PD I have a few questions that I hope some of you may be able to help with. Firstly it has a Supertrapp exhaust fitted which does sound very nice, BUT is bordering on offensive and after 80-100 miles starts to make mine and any passengers ears bleed. Anyone now how...

Hi all - I need some advice please. I have a 2014 GSA LC and I want to fit a FuzeBlocks fuse block. This clever little device has input power fed directly from the battery and from a switched power source. Obviously this means you can connect devices which need permanent power and those which...
