I have had both EXO2 Stormrider and Gerbings Heated jacket liner. EXO2 is snug and effective but no sleeves in the one I bought....as I ride without a thermal liner because of the heated kit, its a big disadvantage when it gets cold and wet. The Gerbings is an awesome bit of kit. Not as tight fittin...

Dave; So I could have been able to bleed my buddies 12RT with my GS-911?? Damn........wish I had known that! Cheers Yes the GS911 would have done the job :( The bleed test on the later abs units is different to the old servo type where you are manually pressurising the circuit to check for entraine...

[quote="Herb"] The 1200s design is very different to the older machines and there is no servo. The reason for the dealer recomendation is because in the service book BMW have added a diagnostic test, which I understand merely consists of a check for error codes. I will admit that I did bug...

Hi Ed, Seems weird because like you I've managed to make the problem go away by turning the ignition off and on again. It lasts for a few minutes at the most though. Nik How old is the battery. A dying or under voltage battery can trigger the fault. Could be why it 'resets' for a short time when cy...

Up to 1mm play is OK in the paralever bearings, but they're no biggie to adjust or swap out if knackered. Try feeling for free play with the back brake applied. If it disappears it's most likely the large bearing - if so DON'T ignore it. It will gradually get worse (you may or may not see a weep of ...

Fiction - the residual braking is dangerous. Absolute cobblers. Sorry but I beg to differ. When mine went on my R1200CL in Germany, fully loaded with luggage with Wife on the back. I was only doing 40mph, and with the lever pulled right into the handlebar till it stopped, the bike just didn't stop....
