I've notice that my bike (2012 F800GS) is very much affected by fuel grade. If I use standard UK issue 95 RON unleaded it sounds like a bag of spanners, the fuel economy is poor (relatively speaking) and generally feels a bit asthmatic. When I stick super plus (98 RON) it smooths the engine...

I know this is an old one you've all heard before but i recently had problems with the fuel pump on my 2009 F800GS fuel pump in Morocco. At the latter end of a long hard days riding it would begin cutting out for 5-10s every so often the cutting back in again for a while. This would then...

hey all, anyone installed the 590 into an 800gs yet? I was looking at the cables that plug into the gps accessory port (under the 'tank' I believe?) over on nippynormans but they seem to only go as far as the 550 in terms of models they cater to. Anyone know if it's the same cable for 550 and...

Hi, I'm having some problems with my "new" F800GS. It's a 2011 model when I've owned for a few months. After a month or so of ownership I found that occassionally, after the bike had warmed up, when at idle the engine speed would fluctuate wildly from around 500-1500 rpms. Sometimes it's...
