Ek het die CAT van my 2009 R1200GS sowat 50 000 Km gelede uitgehaal. Het die onderste helfde oopgesny, die binnegoed verwyder en die oopgesnyde helfte weer teruggesweis. Nie juis 'n groot verskil in die fiets agter gekom nie - die uitlaat tydens versnelling miskien 'n bietjie harder - min...

Following consistent engine noise complaints by 1250 owners, I noticed that BMW have now redesigned the timing chain tensioner (with amazing results) for the 2018 to 2022 models - see photo - old on the left. Anybody aware of any redesigns for the Hexhead models?

I have an OEM low seat available but it is for a 2009 GS - not sure whether it will fit a 2012 GSA.

Aangesien die waarskuwingsliggie meer as net ‘n pap band aandui het ek nie eers oorweeg om dit uit te haal nie. Ek sien die liggie as ‘n veiligheidsmaatreel  veral wanneer ek op spoed vroegtydig oor ‘n banddrukverlies ingelig kan word. Omdat ek my GS so standard moontlik wil hou, wou ek ook nie...

Op verkeerde onderwerp geantwoord - Jammer

Het vegeet om te noem dat die CR2032/1HF tipe battery oor die toonbank van RC Components in Midrand beskikbaar is - waar ek myne gekry het.

Ek het my 2009 GS se pap agterwiel sensor battery so 18 maande terug vervang en sover werk dit perfek. Die geheim (om die soldeerdery te vermy) is om 'n battery te kry waarvan die terminale klaar aan gespot weld is - sien aangehegde foto. Die battery-tipe se kode is CR2032/1HF en het my R25.55...

Had the same clutch problem with my 2009 GS. Initially the cause was attributed to the routing of the hydraulic pipe between the clutch master and slave cylinder - in the region of the air box. Apparently the lowest point of the hydraulic pipe must be higher than the level of the clutch slave...

Love this thread as I have a 2009 GS and use this info to anticipate future non-routine type maintenance items - although mine has only covered 90 000 Km. One question: Previously you mentioned using Fuchs 15W50 oil but recently you referred to using a lighter 10W50 version. Any specific...

Do not have a mirror to swop but after a recent tip-over require a replacement mirror for my R12000 GS (2009). So if your mirror is for my model and you are willing to sell, please contact me.

Had a tip over and damaged the left hand side rear view mirror on my 2009 BMW R1200 GS. Looking of a used mirror - to scared to approach a BMW dealer for the price of a new one. Apparently they are left/right interchangeable and have remained unchanged in design for MY 2005 to 2011. 

What its worth - Had a similar idling problem with my 2009 (70 000km) which was originally cleared by cleaning both Idle Actuators. The problem however returned some time later and this time was advised to add a (once-off) injector / fuel system cleaner to the fuel. This was done and 4 500 Km...

You can buy an Akra pipe from most bike accessory shops. I bought my slip-on from Kempton Park Motorcycles (KPM) for R6500.00 in 2013. As Akra pipes in SA are distributed by a central agency (think it is Langston Racing), KPM ordered it directly from them (at wholesale price) and once (as in my...

Would like to share my experience with my 09 when I had a similar problem - resolved by that well known non-franchised BMW repair centre in Benoni. What he did was to remove the two Idle Control Actuators (ICA) from the bike by unclipping the electrical connectors and removing the four securing...

Tried Grip Puppies but found their OD too big for my hands plus could not get used to the spongy feeling - also lost the effectiveness of the heated grips. Ended up fitting cricket bat grips - got them from Sportsmans Warehouse for R35.00. Fitment involved cutting them to size, removing the...

Fitted NGK DCPR8 EIX Iridium spark-plugs to my 09 GS during its 60 000 km service last year. Having done approximately 3000 km on them, my seat of the pants observation is that it now seems to start easier, idles better and has a better throttle response - also the exhaust note somehow sounds...
