    Hi Chris / Amanda I have SW-Motech engine bars. Would this product be compatible and what is the price? Please send me a quote to [email protected] Also want to ask if you do Heidenau K76 tyres.

    Remove 1200GS Catalytic Converter??

    My bike is on 37000km. the whole core was removed, but the sleeve remained as i didn't think it was necessary to remove and would be more work. the pass through volume of the sleeve is anyway much more than the end pipe into the can. after riding some more im even more convinced it was the right...

    Remove 1200GS Catalytic Converter??

    Cutting was easy. Used a hacksaw and created a groove all round before cutting through to keep the line. Also marked it for correct alignment when welding.

    Remove 1200GS Catalytic Converter??

    I took the plunge and takled the job of removing the cat myself. I cut the cat box with a hacksaw just in front of the weld (engine side) and worked my way around until it split. With the cat exposed I then drilled all along the side with an 8mm steel drill every 10mm or so and wigled the drill...

    Remove 1200GS Catalytic Converter??

    Interesting thread.  I have been toying with the idea for some time, not that I needed more power. Reading about mid range improvement now I suddenly have a need for it. Went to Gansbaai for work today and having to accelarate from 110 in 5th could be quicker as the powerband only comes in at...

    FRONT TYRE

    Why, why, why is it so difficult do understand that this combination works.  8) Mr. T I am not sure what your response to crazy eyes comments means. Do you agree as you have the same tyres? Or doesn't the combo make sense to you?

    FRONT TYRE

    Thanx. Appreciate the feedback. Im leaning towards the Tourance as the tread patern just looks more grippy for gravel? Also the Heidenau K76 looks good, but im not sure if its available locally. I'm currently running on Bridgestone Battlewings - an 80/20 tyre and have excelent road...

    FRONT TYRE

    Ok. Didnt know that. Thanks for the correction. I will type quieter in future! On the tyre issue again: how does the Tourance do off road compared to the Anakee 3? - I'm talking good gravel roads not technical.

    FRONT TYRE

    HI THERE IM DUE FOR A FRONT TYRE ON MY FIRST GS1200. I'M INTERESTED IN THE HEIDENAU K60 SCOUT BUT SEE A LOT OF REPORTS ON: - AIR LEAKS AT THE RIMS - BAD ROAD HOLDING IN THE WET - HIGH SPEED INSTABILITY AND ON THE POSITIVE SIDE: - VERY GOOD MILEAGE - GOOD ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE FROM WHAT I CAN...

    GPS on 2007 1200 GSA

    THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE UNDER THE BEAK IS A TEMP PROBE FOR EXTERNAL HEAT DISPLAY. LOOKED ON MY 2009 GS AND ALSO DIDNT SEE ANY GPS POWER POINTS. JUST THE ONE UNDER THE SEAT ON THE LEFT SIDE.

    SUDDEN OIL CONSUMPTION

    Dankie vir die raad. The oil cooler having to drain make sense. After i read up on the other posts last night i went for a ride to get oil warm and parked it on the centre stand. And what do you know? the level went back up again to just under the full mark (2mm below) I can say that works. And...

    SUDDEN OIL CONSUMPTION

    I bought my 2009 spec gs1200 about 3 weeks ago. 30000km on clock. Very well looked after. I had service done on 30400km. The oil level was at the top of glass. Checked it once more at same level after about 1000km. I hit a sandpatch on Sunday and dropped the bike at slow speed on its side. It...
