Friend, Romans, Countrymen and women! I have recently purchased a Garmin 396 for my 2012 GSA and now want to connect to to the bike and was looking at the options. 1. USB (I have a socket on the dash) 2. Direct to battery 3. Utilising the BMW power take off socket under the headstock which i...

45 year old back new to biking - certainly new to big bikes, as the last bike was a Speed Triple about 7 years ago. I'd love a GSA, possibly even a 1250 if I can justify it (should be easy!?). I'm not a particularly confident biker, but I hate the idea of going through the rigmarole of buying...

Hi, I’m looking at buying a 2018 R1200 GSA with 1000 miles on it. The exhaust has got bluing on it. Is this a problem, or is this fine? Thanks

Hi, having an intermittent starting issue where I get a click on hitting starter button, try it again and it fires up. The battery is fully charged. Secondhand relays are cheap, so I thought I'd try replacing it to see if relay was on way out. However on 2008/2009 GSAs the relay is behind the...

Can anyone give me advice on GS final drive? I took my bike into a BMW garage to get a few recall jobs done for free, they said the bike was in very good condition with about 30000 miles on clock, but there was a faint noise from the final drive when turning the wheel. They didn't say fix it...

I have a new 1200 GSA with the TFT screen and I have a problem. I’ve only ridden the bike three times and a F O great warning has flashed up on the screen, three times - every time I’ve been out. The warning says stop the bike. Turn the bike off. Get the bike to a dealer. The first time this...

We have a tradition of naming our cars with the current 2 being a Land Rover Discovery 2 called Hector – “Hope Everything Continues To Operate Reliably”, and a Mk7 Golf GTD called George, or George the Diesel to give him his full name (see what I did there) which stands for “Goes Everywhere Over...

Hi all, I've just purchased a 2003 GSA via this site and I now need to get the insurance sorted. I've had a full bike license for over 20 years, though have been between bikes for the last 5 years so I'm having to start bike insurance afresh. I've gone via GoCompare and have had a quote from...

Hi Folks, Currently awaiting delivery of a new GSA triple Black and sods law, BMW release an update!! The new screen looks good and the ability to answer calls and scroll through music is something I'm after. My bike is coming with a Nav 6 and I'm just wondering if I can do this on the Nav 6...

Hello all Thought will come and introduce myself to you all. New proud owner of my 1200GSA 07 Was riding ER6N before but after doing 3500miles on it over 10 countries, I learned that GS is a must :D And im loving it

I was looking at a 2010 R1200GSA TU today. It has less than 2000 miles on the clock but is at the far end of top book. What is the reliability, lastability etc like on these 2010 bikes. I know the early bikes are a bit problematic with their ABs and what not. Is there anything worth looking...

So I sold the 2014 GSA and have had 7 months and 7000 miles on the XR wow what a bike it is too, but for me I always compared it to the GSA and for me it was the bike that done it all, so I pick up my 2016 GSA 1200 in a couple of days time and I can't wait to get back in the saddle again. Roll...

I was looking at a Shocktube http://www.shocktube.co.uk Seem decent enough and was wondering if anyone had any opinions or experiences of them? Seem like a pretty good way to keep muck and grime off the rear shock? Any reasons why they shouldn't be used, and are they ok to be using with...

My GSA has just had its 6000 mile service and during which the engine and suspension had an update installed Not sure what difference it has made to the suspension but the engine change is very noticeable Christ it goes off like a scolded cat in dynamic mode now, love it. Terry :thumb

Anyone got any concrete info on lowering my F800GSA ? While I can get feet down it's proving to be just a bit much, especially on uneven ground, car parks and cambers. And mounting with the panniers on is a real stretch. Doing a rapid stop and getting feet down is not as easy as I'd like...

Hi Guys, I got a hairline crack in my front rim (r1200 GSA 09). I'm told this cannot be fixed and I need to but a new wheel as rims are not sold separately. I'm currently riding it with a inner tube as it leaks slowly without. My question is, would anyone know if I can fit smaller wheels...
