Hi All My Twincam GSA (2010) has got a "tic-tic-tic" sound emanating from the RH pod. Its only audible at idle and when the visor is open. Otherwise no strange noises. I've heard this noise on cars as well, (especially older BMW's!) and know its got something to do with the valves. The...

Hi da al die Honne! A while back Sláinte Mhaith started a thread asking who had what problems on high mileage R1200GS'ses. A few replies came through, although nothing major(to make as skrik!!!). Working through the R1200GS thread you will find a good idea on what can happen on these bikes...

Hi Almal I'll keep this in English. Why does the 1200 Boxer engine require regular maintanance work on the valvetrain, for instanst retorquing of the rocker arm bolts, and the regular valve clearance adjustments? With Leo's engine dropping a valve on 175000km I think its prudent in asking this...

Hi My FD needs attention. I noticed typical "sweat" mixed with dust under the FD just below the black plastic cover in the centre of the FD when looking from the Right. Phoned Jacques at Bavarian and he told me to phone BMW on call to get the bike to them. Will keep you updated on how this...

First, wrt the vibration of the new twin-cam 1200 motor. My 2010 GSA does not vibrate anymore. I did nothing to the engine. I have just over 32000km on the clock now, and the motor is running well. I used to get numbness in my hands and fingers after 50km. My nose itched and my feet tingled...
