Re: Clutch Replacement 1200S

Certainly another way of looking at it. The 12S is all the bike I need considering I have the extortionately expensive panniers for touring, Ohlins for the track days and a relatively rare paint job which makes it stand out. I just don't want it to become a money pit that I come to hate as it lets m...

Clutch Replacement 1200S

Anyone had this done? Mine is starting to slip after a long run. Mike at Overland and Adventure reckons close to £1000. A bit cheaper if you just replace the friction plate but at 107,000 miles it would probably be wise to do it all. This could be the deciding factor in the demise of the Humbug due ...

Re: motorcycle live

I'll be going as well, probably the Friday due to friend's commitments. Looking forward to the KTM and Aprilia stands as well as the goody stands

Re: Private plate problem?

If they want to keep the plate they normally have to put it on a retainer which then makes the DVLA issue a new age related plate for the bike if the original is no longer available.
Its really the sellers responsibility to have a registration plate not yours.

Re: who has moved on from the 1100s?

NHS sent me private for mine a couple of years ago. 8 weeks from doctor to surgery. (NHS surgeon working at a private hospital as most do)

Re: Which security/alarm system do you recommend for the r1100s ?

Also you may consider a tracking system. Lots from not much money using phone and an app linked to a sim in the unit up to fully monitored tracking systems such as the one I had. As stated though it is preferential to prevent the theft in the first place. Is the bike on a drive, in a garage or in th...

Re: who has moved on from the 1100s?

I have done some mega runs on my 12S (3000 miles in 10 days) and the bike has been comfortable and trouble free. The issue with the 12S is luggage. I'm lucky enough to have the panniers and a tailpack for mine but they are expensive and second hand ones are like hens teeth. Never had an 11S but from...

Re: Its Back

I suppose when you have relatively low mileage bikes like some sportsbike riders it is probably once every two years which doesn't seem so bad. When you are racking up miles its a bit steep at once a year although the normal service for the shock would only have been £130. Mine needed a bit more wor...

Re: Its Back

Its over 100,000 miles old and Colin at !00% suspension thought that it could have been due to fatigue and the potholes in Britains roads
They should be serviced every 10,000 miles apparently!

Its Back

Back after a full rebuild and service. Good job too as the collar that holds the spring at the bottom was cracked! A massive failure waiting to happen.
Total cost of £243 with parts and labour

Re: Cone Head

Tried Maxxis a few times, even done a trackday at Cadwell on them and they performed really well. I wouldn't pass over them as a tyre choice, especially at the prices you can get them for.M&P seem to do some good deals on them. As Chris Walker said to me, todays tyre technology is far in advance...

Re: Cone Head

Tried them and its a little disconcerting when you get it right over. The edge seems to move a little and although the grip is fantastic, it feels just a little weird. Not sure if I have a spare brand new front in the garage, I'll have a look.
