Got a pair on my R1200S and I dont like them at all. They are grippy but too harsh and transmit every bump.

I was wondering what that lever was because it certainly has nothing to do with the rear wheel!

You made the right choice

Thanks chaps.
I didnt have one on my R1 and that was scary on bumpy A roads.

I've taken the big bars off now as its a bit cold sitting on top of a combine harvester at this time of year.

Has anyone removed the steering damper from an R1200S?

It seem far too stiff (tee hee) in the cold weather and makes the bike unstable when riding slowly.

was the rear drive knocking in traffic or is that normal?

I got a letter yeserday and I have an R1200S.

I have a semi rider policy with carol nash, The BM added only £60 per year.

This is only one hobby!

I haven't even started on the sailing boats.

Just buy a house with a double garage, problem solved. If the wife complains ask her how many pairs of shoes she has? When she says you can only ride one at a time, tell her she only has one pair of feet! LOL I cant bear to part with any of my bikes, the RD350 I have owned for 27 years and the VFR 2...

You are all completely mad.

Its obviously to let the Cat breath.

Just go really fast everywhere and the the tyres will heat up correctly. I'm a firm believer in riding like a lunatic but these stupid cylinders sticking out each side are scratching cars in heavy traffic.
Can they be removed?

I had Pilot Powers which lasted 3600 miles but not good in the wet. Now fitted a set of Metzeler M3's which are quiet and grip in the wet.

Thats given me a thought, a chopped RC30. I would have to paint it in Purple Metal Flake, now i'm showing age.

Now then Ladies!
