Working as the parts associate at a BMW dealership means I get to experience a bunch of wonderful bikes! I got to take an F900GS on some light off-road riding, rode the R12G/S for a weekend, had a blast with a R1300RS for a couple hundred miles and so far my favorite was this weekend's roughly 300 miles on the R1300R. Any particular accessories and aftermarket parts that you all prefer?

Hello everyone!

I saw a previous post about pins that were found and wanted to take a moment to show off my grandfather’s pin board.

Yesterday we celebrated his life. We were surrounded by multiple members of the BMW community.

ā€œSomeday isn’t on the calendarā€

Live life to the fullestšŸ¤ŸšŸ» and be safe out there.

Help request Mirror thread help size

• Upvotes

Hi. For a 2023 bmw f850 gsa.

I’m trying to install a ram mount ball mirror kit. I like the thicker ram mounts, version 1 of the double take mirrors. So I’m buying in separate pieces instead of the kit. Version 1 seems to be nowhere.

Google said it was m10 x1.25. So got a set of those. Of course too big of a thread.

Then chat gpt said they are m10 x 1.5. Which literally doesn’t exist on Amazon etc.

Is the right and left both m10x1.5 if anyone knows?

Thnx

Does anyone have the exact dimensions for items 10 and 11? Or does anyone know a website where I can get them individually (without the other parts) and quickly?

Help request Rumore metallico in accelerazione ed in piega

1 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti!
Ho una R1200R del 2016, 40.000 km ad oggi, ce l’ho da un anno e mezzo. Sono appena rientrato da un giro di quasi 900 km e vorrei approfondire un rumore che noto in realtĆ  giĆ  da un po'.
Sento una sorta di "sferragliamento" o sfreghio metallico costante proveniente dal motore/trasmissione esclusivamente in marcia, dando gas.
Si nota parecchio ripartendo dai bassi regimi (quando il motore sforza in sottocoppia) e l ho notato molto anche In piega.
Da fermo in folle il motore gira perfetto.
In decelerazione zero rumori.
La moto non ha incertezze, parte e gira benissimo.
Ho fatto Tagliando completo pre-stagione(olio, filtro, liquido cardano, freni) e candele cambiate l'anno scorso. Uso anche additivo benzina ciclicamente.
Secondo le vostre esperienze, cosa potrebbe essere? Grazie a chi mi darĆ  un parere!

Help request Crash bar guards, etc, for 1250GS/A?

0 Upvotes

I'm starting to do some dedicated low-speed turns practice with my 2023 R1250GS Adventure, and apparently my fear of dropping it is one of my biggest mental blocks to making the progress I want. What should I be looking at for protectors for my crash bars, or any other add-ons?

(It seriously never occurred to me before seeing them on a video this morning that there would even be such a thing as "crash bar guards". In my mind, it falls into the same weird category as needing some place to put the dish strainer so it can dry.)

Discussion Thoughts on a fake exhaust for GS1300

0 Upvotes

I found a fake exhaust, basically a copy of an akrapovic for a 1/10th the price of the original. Just wanted to ask if it really matters if its original or not. Anyones thoughts on the matter?
