Removes crap.Adds own crap..Not only do we have an XJR1300 it's the same colour.....................What GS are you riding?
Had mine since 2015, it was a right mess, but very low mileage and all there, standard accept for some of the crappy tack people shove on their bikes. Complete strip and removal of all the crap, 36Y rubbers, air box mod, 4* advancer, 22% higher rate rear springs, 20% stiffer fork springs and new brake lines, not shown in this picture.
Love it.

Think this is a very recent service bulletin. The guy on the video had some info from someone overseas.I spoke to BMW about this regarding my RT1250.They knew nothing about it or declined to comment.
My GS is a GSA I bought in December to replace my GS.Not only do we have an XJR1300 it's the same colour.....................What GS are you riding?

My XJR is pretty much standard. Crash bungs , rad cover and that’s about it. Did have a small screen but as I only use it for short rides these days I took it off.
Had the “ohlins” shocks rebuilt a few months ago as the bump stops had perished. It’s got a leaking slave cylinder at the mo.( very common) Got the bits, just need the garage to warm up a bit.
You haven’t got a Himalayan as well have you![]()

My rear tyre rubs on the Mudsling when the bike is on the centre stand. When I first heard and felt it, I thought it was my drive shaft on its way out.Bloodyhell ive timed this right...I was cleaning the bike off last Sunday after a ride and noticed when i moved the back wheel back and to (on the centre stand) it had the dreaded knocking noise, not overly noisy but its there.
Was looking on the internet at new and secondhand shafts when i came across this. And incase your wondering mines a 2019 R1250 gsa, had it from new and the driveshafts lasted just over 88'000 mile![]()
Oh my god, yes a triple black, I think you're stalking me.............sorry Techno, you’ve got no taste
Himalayan has been a real giggle, really good fun bike.
GSA is a triple black, GS was too. Yours? View attachment 307821




There's always one isn't there
The only non standard things on that bike are the fly screen and the oil cooler protector, one aids long distance work (how I got on the thread) the other helps prevent damaged.
For who?
