Ok see if anyone can help out with this one. Pulled up at a petrol station, removed key, opened fuel cap, and bike tried to start, as in started motor started to crank engine. Took key from filler cap, turned on bike, starter stopped cranking. Filled up as normal. Did this intermittently since. Replaced starter motor relay and kill switch (right-hand switch module), both from bmw. Still does it, any thoughts as to next option?
Thanks

Hi everyone, im after a rear rack bag (day bag) for my K1300S, BMW code 77498562634, ive only seen pictures of these, never in the flesh, but they are similar size to the actual rear rack, almost triangular, and they slip over the pointy end of the rack then attach to the grab rails, black in colour, with BMW Motoradd on the rear.

Hi all, i've managed to source me some 2nd hand panniers, so i'm on the hunt for some inner bags. After reading the comments about the standard inner bags being not much use, i'm now interested in the cordura ones that are the same shape as the panniers. The ones id seen were from Kathy Journey Design (KJD) from america and Great Bikers Gear. Can anyone recommend any of these or any others? Also are the panniers for the F800 (sports expandable) the same size inside as the ones for the K1300? I know the rear of the panniers are different, where it fits around the shape of the rear panels etc, but the inner bags sell for less on ebay for the F800 than the K1300.

Hi guys, i want to fit a Roadhawk Ride camera, Denali air horn and Inforad (speed camera warning device) to my 13 plate K1300S. By fitting these, will they play havoc with the cambus system?
I’ve also got a Fuzeblocks FZ-1 which I could use, which basically has 6 individually fused outputs, so you connect it to the battery, then give it a switched input (normally from the side light, which comes on when you switch the ignition on) then the device gives you either 6 switched outputs, 6 I switched outputs or a combination of both.
I found it very useful on my last bike for running my heated grips, camera, 12v socket, battery indicator etc, all the fuses in one box.

Hi guys, does anyone know if I was to buy a 2nd hand alarm, say from eBay, with fobs, could I just plug it in and away I go?
Will my bike have the wiring already there to plug into?
If so where would it be?
Thanks
Bian

Another question for you's
When I switch the ignition on, should the flapper valve in the exhaust open and shut?
Ive got the exhaust end can off at the moment, and I can see the valve just inside the pipe. When I try and move it, it is very stiff, and when I turn the ignition on, nothing happens to its position.
Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to BMW ownership, so be gentle with me please. I'd like to pick your brains about an oil leak, that is coming from the top cover seal (rocker cover?) whilst the bike is running. The oil appears to be coming out in small squirts, with bubbles or air coming out as-well. Ive also been told the gasket is rubber, and can be re-used, and also its not common for these to leak. I know the engine is cocked forward instead of upright, so the oil is more likely to be in that area anyway, but any advice from you guys would be much appreciated. My main concern is the air/bubbles. Could it be pressurized, due to another fault?
Regards
