Cappie - check this out:



1200 manual



It somehow only likes Internet Explorer and the 'anti bot' text is difficult to read sometimes. Just refresh if that's the case.

It's over 100MB and an ISO file, which means you must either extract it with something like 7zip or winrar, or burn it to a CD with something like Nero.

It will lose power due to a hole in the piston. Was the noise more prevalent on one side?

Alan Lewis has just recieved a box or two of plugs for the 1200
They are the Bosh plugs.

I bought a set of 4 and let me tell you, you will have a smile on your face
after you have paid for them compared to BMW parts center.  8)

There are no short cuts to anywhere worth going!
Performance is paramount, niceties only exist if it doesn't affect performance.

Don't rush it, it's helmet time you need, not a destination. Take it easy.
