Not sure if this sort of topic has been discussed before, more than likely, but I'm hoping for some insight or opinions please. I have a 2012 Husky TE 449. I do green lanes here in the UK and to be honest it is completely overkill. Not surprised really, it is an enduro bike. At the time I...

Ok I'll admit it. I'm not always sure how soft panniers or roll bags like giant loop etc are fitted to a bike. Hence this topic. My f7gs have pannier racks for the std BMW (hard) cases, but I have no interest in going for hard cases, not to even mention the price. Will I be able to fit these...

Het die hartseer gesig gesien in `n klein dorpie op Crete so jaar of wat terug. Weet iemand dalk die presiese model?

Kan iemand hier lang man help asb. Ek het klaar my handlebars gelig op my f700 maar sukkel nogsteeds om gemaklik te staan op die fiets. Kan iemand dalk n footpeg lowering kit voorstel? Ideaal nie in SA nie want ek bly in Engeland...  :lol8: Dankie

I'm struggling to find a good method for removing the master link from my Husky 449. I get it off - eventually - using a screwdriver, but I am sure there must be a tool or some sort or method to easily get it off and put it back. Some interweb searchings doesn't come up with anything. It's an...

Guys what options are there for the 450X in terms of soft luggage? I'm considering getting one but it would be ideal if I can sus out some options to carry some clothing etc for a few days, tool roll, spare inner etc. Will I need a rack of sorts for soft luggage? You don't seem to get any soft...

I'm thinking about thinking  :o of changing my r850r to something along the lines of this: https://barnbuiltbikes.com/finished-projects/bmw-r850r-scrambler/ (let's not debate the use of the word scrambler here please.) and this : I'm in the process of stripping the bike as much as...

I've got a 2003 BMW R850R and the engine is looking pretty sad. I guess all the grit and rain on the UK roads have taken their toll as the engine's paint is flaking off pretty badly. Especially around the lower front and the front engine cover behind the alternator cover. Anyone have any ideas...

I have 2 Rstaichi jackets and a pair of Richa easy over pants that need to urgently go. (Moving overseas next week) - One jacket is crash tested (black one) so it has scuff marks on elbows. Has nice thick inner for winter. - Richa pants are well worn but still great for commute and has a nice...

I am moving overseas in the next 2 weeks and want to urgently sell the above items. Helmet is Airoh DS with tinted visor. Size 57-58. Some small scratches from daily use but still in good nick overall. R700. Prorider Winter gloves. Great gloves as they are waterproof and very warm. R150 No...

I have a set of used X50 Oxford soft panniers for sale. I have no use for them anymore. They're in good condition but one has a small heat mark where the previous owner probably had it too close to the exhaust. Not sure what to ask for it, make me a sensible offer and they're yours.

Pretty sad day for me. - 2013 Sertao, still under BMW warranty until march 2015. It's about to hit 17000 km, see photo of clock. - Wider foot pegs. (You'll get the originals thrown in.) - New tires front and back. Still has the original Metzeler Tourance on but back is below 50% wear, front...

Hi Guys, I managed to procure a plain 650GS centre stand and need to modify it for the Sertao. How much is the ideal length to add? 50mm? 60mm? I would guess not too long otherwise you struggle to mount the bike onto the stand, too short and it'll be useless and unstable. Thanks

Looking for a center stand from a F650GS. Thanks

I know this is not a 'commuting' forum but maybe we can share some experiences that has either happened to you or you've seen while commuting. It's been a long week (for me) so hopefully we can all have a chuckle (or a fright  :eek7:). - Few years ago while still doing the Centurion to JHB CBD...

Hi guys, Posting on behalf of someone not this forum. Please contact him directly. "Bike is a 2000 model and has done 37800km with new chain and sprockets fitted at 33500km. He is only the second owner, bike has never been dropped and he has all the paperwork and service history for it...

I'm on just over 10k kms now and need to replace my rear brake pads soon. Can anyone advise on what brand is a good replacement, and where I can get them? I used SBS on my KLR before and they seemed good. Also, if I replace these myself will BMW have issues as the bike is still under...

I sometimes get the afternoon off on quick notice and with so many things to go and do at home, I decided to go for a quick solo ride  instead ;D ;D I did Breedtsnek a few weeks ago when I had some business in PTA so don't want to repeat that. Anyone know of another dirt road ride I can tackle...

No, I didn't drop my bike and broke the indicator if that's what you're thinking... :lol8: Long story short I was at the office one weekend a few months ago and left my jacket hanging over the handlebars. When I left I noticed my right side indicator was snapped off. I first thought someone...

Not sure if it's the bike or the rider but my Sertao seems to have a "false neutral" between gears 4 and 5 sometimes. So when I don't pop it into 5th "properly" it jumps out and is pretty much in a neutral between these gears. Anyone come across this on their bike? recently switched to new...
