in reply to: Maybe buying………R1150GS. What do you think #9818

I have no problem with saying that if you look after it you will have no problems…I got mine at approx 117,000 on the clock... now its closer to 140k's. 200k's with a good maintenance schedule you have no problems.Bearings in the shaft approx 70-80k's. Twin spark?? EnjoyDave

in reply to: Rider training for BMW. #6608

I'm all up for more training.. Like most of us, we have got a few k's under our belts and are comfortable with where we are at.  We can always be better and safer. Both on and off the road.I'm sure my other half would agree, the better I am the safer she is on the back looking at passing objects.Enjoy the ride.Dave

If your after a good deal, have a look on ebay. I've seen a couple of 1200 GSA's on there for $8k US… from a dealer. Got to love demo's. 😛

in reply to: Motorad – Bad Service #8886

I think this is one that we all need to keep an eye on in wellington. Is there going to be a new outfit that will look after or pride and joy?? Are we going to loose the knowledge that Motorad has or was there last time I went in?? (Nov).Very concerned!!!  Come on BMW!!

They don't seem to mind if you have the sticker displayed yet this covers part of the number plate.. even when passing the local fuzz 😆

in reply to: Helmets #8371

Hi Malcom,Have sorted the whole N-COM system out. I did have a bit of a problem with the instal. However once the helpful team at Motorad Welly sorted the problem out the kits all go.Play you sounds through one helmet, auto transfer to the other helmet. Talking breaks in over top of the music and should do the same if anyone really wants to be able to talke on cell when riding.Greta loves the helmet, quiet(less wind noise) able to turn her head and see without the wind trying to take her head off. Hope you've had luck in tracking down helmets.Dave 😎

in reply to: Helmets #8363

Malcom,I've got the Nolan N102 and found that the sun visor on the outside does rattle a bit in the wind, I've had no other problems with the helmet though. Trying out the blue tooth rider to pillon next weekend. I prefer the Nolan due to the anti-fog insert...several colours. you can take the sun visor off and replace with some covers and just use the tinted insert.Enjoy your buying.Dave

Sure.. do you pick up?? 😆

in reply to: Engine Rattle and back-firing #8245

Got the problem sorted by Wellington Motorad today.  Small stone stuck under the right throttle cable. Small odds they say..Easy way to check, look at where the throttle cables come down on both sides to see if the stops are coming fully down. Cheers all  Dave

Thanks for the help. Have got the problem sorted. I'm going to get a few mates to make a small box for inside the pannier frame for tools.
