BTW you can check the condition of the airfilter by looking down the air intake snorkel with a torch.
If you haven't introduced yourself in the 'Who's Who' section, please do!

1. Ongoing. Oil temp sensor is under reading. The dealer has seen and acknowledged but 'can't' replace it even under warranty because 'we need an error code and it isn't showing one'. So presumably the mother ship thinks a micro climate follows me around.

You need a set of long series torx bits. Or you could cut the long leg off your star key and use it with a socket and wrench.

Ride Out Reports / Re: My Experience of BMW Off Road Skills
« on: May 27, 2023, 10:57:31 pm »
I did all the BMW ORS courses and really enjoyed them. Got myself an R1150GS to practise on between the courses so as to keep my skills honed. Also did the Brecon Beacon Adventure.
Now I have an R1250GS which is my favourite bike. Don't plan to take it off road although I did take it to Iceland. Had to return early after breaking my collarbone. Got the Iceland bug and ended going there a few times on the R1150GS and a CCM GP450 Adventure. Be advised that going off road fully loaded with all your luggage including camping equipment is not quite the same as riding an R1250GS without luggage especially when fairly deep water crossings are included. The CCM was a lot easier to pick up with full luggage than a big GS.

You're brave not having crash bars fitted.

K1200 / K1300 Forum / Re: Possible radiator repair
« on: April 03, 2023, 10:56:54 pm »
The problem with the K1300S radiator is that it has extremely fine fins similar to what is normally seen on an aircon radiator.
Generally cooling system radiators are far stronger with greater fin spacing.
Despite built in protection the K1300S radiator is easily blocked with road crud thrown up by the front wheel and the finer fining is extremely susceptible to corrosion.
