I have a friend with a 250 single from good knows what year BMW still supply him with parts when he needs them. So I am not worried.

I don't remember any markings on the device, I kept the box for reference, it has a 13 digit code which I assume is a stock number. After all apart from some mechanical differences they are all the same  until you program them.

TPMS sensors come in two frequencies 315 Mhz and 433Mhz, BMW as far as I can see use 433Mhz for all their vehicles.
The sensors need to be programmed to the communication protocol used by your vehicle only done by a specialist, unless purchased pre programmed.
I bought 4 TPMS for my wife's X1 at 34 Euro each pre programmed, once fitted a reset of the system was required very easy on the car but I imagine that you need an external programmer to reset the bike.
Hope this was useful

My local agent always over fills mine,the first time the filler cap was not tight resulting in oil all
over the place
I have found that with the bike on the side stand on a flat surface the oil is halfway between full and empty when it is full.

K1200 / K1300 Forum / Re: Bridgestone T31's
« on: May 08, 2021, 10:48:43 am »
I have run T30's on my Suzuki commuter for three years good in all conditions
the T31's I have on the K much better than the OEM Metzler's I get 6K miles out of a front and 10K out of the rear. If you ride with the pegs on the ground in the bend all the time they may not be the tyre for you
Comparing with other tyres is not so easy my son has T 20 something on his GSXR1000 they feel great but the bike is so different I can't say its the bike or the tyres or both.
Unfortunately you have to buy them before you try I don't think you would be disappointed

I don't think so.
No all bikes I have owned or seen had the side stand on the left.

There are no restrictions as to where I can go. So I could ride anywhere in Switzerland but with the weather we have  I shall stay at home. Most likely until mid March
