blue pipes/final drive noise/2008 GSA Slipping clutch/Has your GS1200 been reliable...or not/FD :augie
 
Still annoying though,but not as much as selling all your goodies off your old 1150GS bike and not getting on with the 12GS replacement and then staring allover again :eek
FFS :augie

Fixed it for you:thumb

I'm so glad I did what you did and put my 1150GSA at the back of the garage, under a sheet.................when I got a 12GSA (and luckily didn't sell the goodies)

The morning I went to pick up the 12GSA.................I couldn't bring myself to ride the 1150GSA to trade it in..............so got a lift in the car and took my chequebook instead

One of my better decisions:thumb

1150GSA...................life is good:bounce1

They were moaning about thier on board tyre pressure sensors last week:eek:

Guess they've binned their halfords pen TP tester then:D

I've thought of the BEST retort to a 12 rider... "See you at the dealers, where we will continue this arguement... Oh no, I don't NEED one!":D:D:D

I sold all the bits when I sold the 1150GSA and bought an ST1100. That lasted 2 months and bought an 1100GS..... I'm still trying to replace the accessories.....

PS: Don't sell the GS unless you need the cash. At least keep it until the summer until you know for sure that the GSA is the bike for you. I had to sell mine as I just couldn't handle the bulk - they are big, heavy beasts...... Find the 1100GS fits me so much better. All that said I've been looking at GSA's again with lust even though I know it's too big. Bikes are a disease.....

The 1150GSA i am buying hasn't got the 30l tank or the bulky pannier system.
so will be the same wieght as my standard 1150.
me not silly.:augie

Is it just the height you are after then or the gear box? Can't be the one piece seat as it's brutal compared to the GS.

I think the biggest of my troubles on the GSA was an oversized topbox. Added a lot of weight high up (at least that is what I'm telling myself while drooling over GSA's :D)
