im getting a strange clockwork like 'whirr'/'tapping' type noise when im out on my R12S. It seems to be coming from the right side of the bike when the engine is running. also noticed recently a single 'click' feeling through the bars when hard braking (LSL handle bar conversion fitted) can anyone s...

well so far no joy in getting this bolt out. Last resort is a friend of mine has a metal work shop and a van and hes going to take my bike and get try the weld a nut on method and see if that works

taking it all on board,

ive hit it with a hammer, will a bigger one help?

need to look at the welding option, need to find a friend with 'portable' welding equipment, otherwise i think it will be finding engineering place that can do the work

Also, shove some kitchen towel/paper or clean rag onto that great big hole soonish as well. will replace a.s.a.p ;) took it out to use blowtorch on it. i dont have access to welding equipment so cant do the welded on bolt trick, as that seems the most successful. decided to get a 'stud extractor' o...

Has anyone snapped the stud that attaches the downpipes to the head? Decided to take down pipes off to do some paint work, but as i removed the exhaust nuts *snap* off came the nut with a broken stud left behind. Ive tried everything i can think of - cutting a slot for a screw driver/using a reverse...

thread digging

so does anyone have a step by step or images on which parts to remove? i can see that some rollers are removed but not sure how to do it myself

im interested in having a more 'linear' throttle pull as sometimes it feels like the bike has a '2 step' throttle

was that you up near Carlisle on the A69 a couple of weeks ago? nope wasnt me, i wouldve been out and about on the durham dales then after a bit of searching ive discovered the fitting are 'banjo', but no wiser to what size they are :? any ideas anyone? otherwise im good to go to order them

also what size they are? (m10/12 etc)

can anyone help?

what sort of fixings to bmw use for brake/clutch lines on the r1200s? i need some longer ones made up but have no idea if i need flanges or banjos

thanks

got it sorted through motorworks, thanks guys

which fork seals do i need for my 12s? they are weeping on both sides, had a look on fleabay but theres all sorts of different ones

what do the boxertrix massive recommend as replcement pads for the r12s?

i currently have about 10.5k miles on the bike so may need pads soon

ive been tempted by the bar conversion but i cant justify the £400 price tag of the ac schnitzer or wunderlich items, maybe if my number come up on the lottery!

i have a wunderlich oil cooler grill to fit to my r12s, has anyone fitted one before?
the instructions are in german and my google-fu translation makes no sense so can someone help with instructions or a guide how to fit it please?
