    Replacing sprockets and chain myself - Tips needed

    First off, I like learning to do new things myself, so I want to do this once. For that purpose, I do not want to go the route of buying a chain breaker and rivet tool etc. and this leaves me with going the route of using the type of chain with a master link with a clip. That said, the internet...

    XCountry spark plug life/service life

    I have the RepROM BMW software and checked the service and inspection schedule, but I can't find anything about the service life of the spark plugs. Every how many km should they be replaced? I am on 47000km now and serviced the bike on 38000km, so I cant imagine that BMW would have changed the...

    Is the steering head bearing the most likely culprit?

    My bike has never had weird vibrations or play on any moving parts (like you would feel on a brand new Royal Enfield). But if you ride the same bike regularly enough for long enough then you get a feel for how it should...feel. But something feels wrong. I feel a slight movement through the...

    Xcountry, Cytech and Pannier racks.

    I just contacted Cytech to find out a price on Hepco & Becker hard luggage racks for the XCountry. Obviously then I used the search function on WD and now I know all about "Raped by Ray" and not quoting with VAT included and all that.  Still, I contacted them because getting aftermarket stuff...

    Bending hollow tubes - how to pooratech?

    If I was to say, try and bend mild steel hollow tube, how would I go about making such nice bends as in the (stolen: credit to alwyn_gs) picture. Very little after market, or even OEM accessories was ever made for the X-country and I always end up making things myself, but pipe bending is...

    BMW G650 aftermarket equipment

    Hi everyone. I've had my G650 for a few months now and I'm thinking of adding a few things to it.  Do any of you know if you get an aftermarket windshield for this model yet?  Some hand guards would be "handy" too.  ;)
