Re: starting problem

Re: ‘05 1200RT no ABS
Working or not bleeding that system is bad news, stay away from it but have an 05 abs unit working in my shed attached to an '05 r1200rt. My suggestion is stay away from it though.

Re: STRONG Fuel Odor
2 vent/overflow pipes, one from the fuel pump on left or the filler one goes down the rear break side and out on the bottom centre/left. This has a joint half way along it that is easy to pull apart when fiddling removing fairing. Had this on mine after a service, not reconnected and strong smell as...

Car behind had dash cam which showed me, a city link van coming in opposite direction and suddenly I disappeared as colours all merged. In the video I was not visible...

Re: BMW Warranty
I agree that BMW can be a pain, (still owe for switch gear after 12 moths that I refused to pay for), but how long does it take to check the sight glass?
