Re: ... oh God yet another BMW !!!

Nice bike Steve. I had a K1300S they are one of the best all round bikes on the road. The clutch is the weak point and the 30,000k (valve clearance check) services are very expensive thats why I went back to a boxer.

Re: Rough or refusal to run

Could it be an air leak on the intake side? Check the caps covering the vacuum gauge connection, rubber manifolds etc.

Pre xmas rides 2023.

My other bike is a 1993 K75RT on vintage plates that I did up for touring with the MRS. A couple of weeks back a mate bought a Yammy XJ 900S and was getting back in the saddle after a long layoff (he had a big crash a few years ago) and was a bit nervous so I came for a ride with him on a similar ag...

Re: bye bye telelever

I too like the telelever and I always thought it was changed on some models to accommodate the central mounted radiator for coolant. I used to own a K1300S and it had a Hossack front end and was just as good as the telelever.

Re: Lightweight wheels.

Blackal you were right and so is the hype. I really like them they made a big difference, the fear of potholes has subsided and now I'm just enjoying my new improved bike. Money well spent ( instant seat of the pants improvment ) than say a new exhaust. Now when my battery goes I'm going to replace ...
