Thanks for the encouragement justscootin :)

The ASC in my experience only kicks in when the rear tire slips, which it so far has only done on wet surfaces. So in my experience, if you are on dry roads, you can accelerate all-out without ASC interfering. The shop manual I bought is a DVD, not aware of hardcopies being available.

Welcome back Pappy13! Hope your strength recovers well and enjoy the scoot!

Let me suggest you do the 'manual deglazing' hack more forcefully/longer/stronger. I noticed the same on my 2016 Sport but only since I started riding long (120 mile plus) fast highway stretches. Next mornings, the clutch would do what you describe: thumps and jumps/catching/slipping. I applied...

Have not yet taken the step to dismantle the rear axle again to try to replace the bearing. I dread the work a bit due to the press fit, need for blowtorch, freezing axle to fit new bearing etc, but at least the big socket did come in so I can tackle it when I get my courage up. Meanwhile I've...

My BMW dealer recommended a product called PLEXUS and it really works. It's expensive but you use very little so one can will probably outlast you and/or your bike(s). I also use it regularly to clean and polish my helmet's visor - very important for safety...

Congratulations with your purchase, we look forward to seeing the whole bike! You don't (should not) need any software modifications AFAIK when you mount the stock exhaust back on. To be 100% sure you can look up the installation instructions for the Akrapovich but I seriously doubt a software...

Many motorcycle riders do ride with their high beams on during the day, on the I405 / I5 that my commute is on. I don't because I don't want to tick off car drivers as I lane split. I did order me a set of those yellow auxiliary lights to give me more visibility but those, too, I will only use...

I've had to replace my low beam lamp more often than I'd like, within a year last time. But certainly not the high beam as I only very rarely turn that on, it's still the original one I believe. But, if you routinely ride with high beams on then depending on the type of bulbs you buy, I guess it...

Thanks for that - I just placed my (first ever) order on AliExpress and because it was my first, I received a 'welcome gift' and the total cost delivered was only $1.50. I tried ordering two sets but was limited to 1 per order so we'll see how they do and if I like them I will order a second set...

Can you share what you bought Shaun2007? I am considering putting same on my two bikes as I believe they will help with my lane-splitting on the California I-405.

If the picture was taken after the service, the only thing that would make sense is if the service was not done by a BMW dealer, nor by anyone that has the appropriate scanner/software etc to reset the service indicator, so I would just ask the seller who did the service and does s/he have the...

The icon to the left is telling us that the grip/handlebar warmers are 'on'

Congratulations on your decision, I expect you will really enjoy the GT. 9K km (6K miles) is indeed very low!

OK I will bite - yes you are both correct, BMW has chosen not to replace the poorly designed tensioner with the better, hydraulic one for reasons that most likely have to do with cost and their estimate of the amount of damage to their brand. I have a 2016 Sport with the old-style mechanical...
