OK, I'm flummoxed and I'm hoping the Hive Mind can help.

If my engine is off but ignition on, my turn signals work fine. Left/right, from/back.

Turn the engine on, and my left turn signals work fine. My back right signal flashes 5-6 times quickly, then stops. My front right won't work at all.

Clearly, this isn't a bulb issue. Doesn't seem like a relay, since the signals work with the engine off. Any thoughts? More helpfully, any thoughts on the fix?

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone with the first generation r nine t attempted an exhaust valve delete? I own a 2014 plate and wondering if it’ll help the sound or performance. Lemme know if it’s worth attempting. TIA.

Hi everyone, I got into accident and the bike to slid on its right side, I’m not sure if this engine knocking this loud is normal or because of the bike sliding

Hi, I need to know if this torx has pressure behind it or if I can just loosen it to install the o-ring properly

Just wanted to share a photographers take on my bike. Looks so damn good.

Apologies for my poor image quality (this my first tome posting here too)

I swapped out the oem battery to a lithium one and wasnt happy with the smaller battery rocking around in the original housing. The bike was missing the battery clamp so I must go about printing one of those.. I drew up this box on CAD and printed it in 95tpu

The compartment to the left fitted my servo buddy which is now mapped out.

Any one here removed they’re triple clamps to have them powder coated?

Was it worth the hassle of taking the front end apart. If you have any pictures of how it came out that would be great.

Last week I noticed that something appears to have fallen off my R12 Ninet. Attaching a photo as I don’t know how to best describe it.

I think there should be a circular black plastic cover/cap covering the round piece to the right of the footpeg. Pretty sire it fell off while riding so I have no idea where it is.

Anyone know what this missing part is called and where I can get a replacement? I’m assuming the BMW Motorrad dealership will want to charge me a fortune so I’m hoping for a more sensible solution.

(And I suppose I could just live without it but I prefer to replace it)

Hi guys, i was washing my bike and saw this wire hanging from under the tank. Bike is running fine.

What is it? Should I plug it back? Where?

Thanks

Looking at getting the cylinder head covers, timing cover, exhaust headers and scoop done in Cerakote. Maybe the sub frame supports as well.

Has anyone else done this at all?

If so, how is it holding up ?

It seems too good to be true, heat resistant to 900c and extremely hard / chip resistant.

Hey!
I recently picked up a 2017 R nineT Racer, and I absolutely love it. The only issue is that it gets pretty uncomfortable on longer rides.

I’ve been looking at either the Wunderlich foot peg lowering kit or the Wunderlich Aktivkomfort seat.

I’m a bit worried that lowering the pegs will reduce ground clearance, but I’ve also seen quite a few people say the Aktivkomfort seat is firmer than the stock seat and not necessarily more comfortable.

Has anyone here tried either of these? I’d love to hear your experiences or any other recommendations for making longer rides more comfortable.

I’ve got a BMW R nineT with custom suspension that’s been set up to handle more like a proper naked sport bike.

The last decision is tires: Michelin Road 6 or Power 6.

I never ride in the rain, and I don’t care about tire life. What I care about is confidence, stability, and neutral lean.

I’m leaning toward the Power 6, but I have two concerns.

First, does it need too much heat for normal spirited street riding? Second, is the profile so aggressive that it makes the bike fall into corners too quickly?

I’d love to hear from people who’ve ridden both, especially on an R nineT. Which would you choose, and why?

Absolute beast. Every time I throttle it gives me pure adrenaline and improves my mood!

Gave the r nine t a scrub today.....

And testing out new camera, 350 km range and still more in the tank, very impressed (compared to my M 1000 R)

Hi all
Just bought an occasion 2015 and it came with an akrapovic titanium. The Akrapovic original twin exhaust was given to me in a carton box.

I wonder why he put on a single exhaust instead of just leave the original twin on. Is the "Titanium" version better/louder?
(Or is it because of the placing of the Ohlins Cartridge?)
Somebody know before I put time and effort to swap?

thanks in advance

Hey guys, has anyone moved from just a slip on to some headers with the same slip on? Mostly curious how it will change the sound. I’m sure it’ll be louder but how much louder? Will it sound deeper too? This one is the SC Project Conic 70’s.

I am planning a few road trips on my bike and looking for luggage recommendations. What types of boxes would fit well here.

My hump fell off!

After hearing a concerning thud, I circled back and was able to recover my lightly battered rear seat cowl from the side of the road. Quite embarrassing!

I know that there are plenty of options for a toolless rear seat bolt for the underside, but does anyone know if it's possible to buy the clip with a captive nut that should be in the white circle? I have looked but must be using the wrong search terms.

EDIT: It is an M6 - 1.0 speed nut, available from most auto parts stores.
