Re: Rear Shock

The standard shock on my R1200S works fine but is cosmetically challenged...
I've had the bike for almost 6 years now and all the while been thinking about maybe changing it for one that looks better.
So I'd be interested... :)

Re: R1200S Akrapovic exhaust wanted

OK I might give the Booster Plug a whirl then. Just out of interest are you using high octane fuel? I used to have a R1200GSA a decade or so ago and one fine day I put 99 octane fuel in by mistake. A couple of days later I noticed that at low revs, around town, it was pulling much more smoothly. Eve...

Re: R1200S Akrapovic exhaust wanted

Cheers Phil, that's all good to know.
Think my main concern was for the fuel mix not becoming so lean that it might cause damage.
You mention a Spoofer Chip, by that do you mean a Booster Plug?

Re: R1200S Akrapovic exhaust wanted

I originally posted on 4th December and am now the proud owner of an Akrapovic end can complete with Bos decat header pipes. I bought these from Dave the German (Cheers Dave :thumbup: ) I'm chuffed to bits with the looks + sound and there also seems to be a performance increase too. While I'm totall...

Thanks Phil, I'm starting to realise how much I don't know about the R1200S & Akrapovic situation...

R1200S Akrapovic exhaust wanted

Thinking of treating my R1200S to an Akrapovic exhaust for Xmas... :santa:
I'm looking for the full Monty - header pipes 'n all.
Actually the header pipes don't need to be Akrapovic, any quality de-cat headers would be fine.
If there are any out there do let me know... :reindeer:

Re: London ULEZ Anyone?

I actually live in the newly expanded ULEZ zone and, like you, had a homologation letter from BMW back in 2019 for my 2003 R1150RS. Been happily wandering around both the new and the old ULEZ zones with no grief from TFL. So, it's probably a glitch in their system, I guess... I've not been very impr...

If the exhaust system is still for sale then I'd be interested.

Re: Various R12S parts for sale

If it helps when I fitted my decat Remus headers there was no bracket and I’ve never fitted one, seems ok after 11 years 34K miles, hope that’s useful.


Cheers, that's very helpful.
Looks like it'd be a really easy swap then............... :)

Re: Various R12S parts for sale

Is the exhaust system still for sale? If so then I have a question: It looks like the headers have done away with the catalytic converter. The original bracket that holds the exhaust to the underside of the bike has a large diameter to accommodate the catalytic converter. Does this system come with ...

Re: R1100S Silencer wanted

I think I have a pair of cans, with brackets which fit instead of OEM cans. Black carbon-fibre if memory serves.

Will have a search in the "garage of hidden treasures" this evening.

Will take some pics.
