Had similar. Very dangerous. Someone suggested replacing the battery. Nothing comes up on diagnostics. Havent gotten round to it yet but will bite the bullet soon. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Gents, I suspect a Throttle Position Sensor issue on my 2015 R1200 GS Adventure. When coming up to a traffic light with clutch in the engine suddenly stalls or goes to slow idle. If the light turns green before coming to a stop and you want to accelerate away, the engine is stalled or stuck in...

Took coils and plugs out. All seems fine. Light brown colour. Weirdly it only happens when engine is cool. Had a hard ride today and it was fine afterwards Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi. No, normal cruising. It's like the throttle shuts everything off to starvation leaving you grasping for power to take off again Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi When rolling off the throttle (at a traffic light for instance) and then accelerating if the light turned green, I experience quite a severe flat spot. I almost have to keep the revs up so that it doesn't choke up when accelerating again. Any suggestions? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I bought a set of inners (top box and 2 panniers) for my 2015 LC Adventure with standard BMW aluminium boxes. These are now wearing out, especially the zips. No idea where I bought them. Any suggestions on replacements? Tried Nomad. No go. Cheers

Seems I was wrong - see below. Question - maps through BMW is R1700 odd. Direct from Garmin is R1000 https://buy.garmin.com/en-ZA/ZA/p/15535 Is it just a matter of downloading and using Garmin Express to install or MUST I buy an SD card? Good day Andrew In regards to you query below, the...

Thanks. According to https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.za/en/accessories-and-parts/accessories/navigation-and-communication/navigator-v.html I do have lifetime maps. I've sent an email to Bavarian to query - will keep you updated

Does anyone know if this comes with lifetime map updates? If yes, how do you download latest? My Nav V has a 2015 map (when it was purchased). Garmin Express just updates the firmware, not the map. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the well written post. Just a suggestion - I find Basecamp frustrating to plan a route on. Try Google My Maps https://www.google.com/maps/d/ Once saved it can be shared and you can export the map to .KML/.KMZ - import this into Basecamp Cheers!

Hi Noneking. Ya I see the Nav 5 converts the imported Track to a Route. Will give it a bash - many thanks!

Lol true! I think at this point i'm asking for advice on which parts to ride from a scenery/ease of riding/accommodation point of view

Hi WD's A few mates and I want to ride the Karoo for 4-5 days, preferably on tame(ish) dirt with a mix of camping and b&b's. Riders coming from Gauteng and KZN. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks Rory Sounds like some awesome rides! Thanks for the advice - I saw the bars on mine for the first time after your advice and realized I was screwed out of a half worn tyre at the last replacement.

Just returned from a 1300km trip through Lesotho comprising mainly tar and some dirt. Fantastic tyre in my opinion but this is the second Karoo 3 thats worn very badly - last one gave me just over 4000km. My question: the shallow groove in the centre of the knobs is now worn down. Are there...

FINALLY found a solution, putting in my order today https://www.sena.com/product/bluetoothaudiopack/

Picked up a Perfecto from Full Throttle today. The legs zip open to fit over a boot. Seems quite bulky but well made. Lets see how it goes

I'm totally blown away by what these small camera's can do and my @ss is seriously itchy for one. Have been looking at the TomTom Bandit and Go Pro Hero Silver. My (doff) question is: If I have a camera and a Sena headset will I need a seperate mic to record my frequent expletives and near...

Many thanks DaveT

Thanks for the help. Where can i get a Vuka rain suit on the West Rand?
