If you remove the Oil Filter "before" draining the Sump via the Drain Plug how much Oil is lost ?
Thanks.

It may not be in the BMW R1200RT service schedule but regular inspection and lube of at least the "rear" Universal Joint and Splines is advisable. There are many horror stories out there which no doubt can be attributed to the Out of Sight, Out of Mind syndrome. It's a relatively straight ...

Lovely. I'm glad you're happy with the Yeti. 😊 Do I get the idea?. Yes, I got the Idea you wanted me to explain my comment on the GS being imo a superior bike after your first post. Maybe I'll do a write up one day as to why "I" think it's the Better bike. Brilliant, we'll look forward to...

By owning 3 GS's whilst owning a 2011 RT and riding the later model RT's for comparison. It's not really rocket science is it? I prefer the GS. 👍 I prefer my Skoda Yeti over my previous Ford Focus because. 1. Having bad knees the higher Yeti seat allows easier access. 2. The Yeti rear seats are rem...

That doesn't really answer my question now does it. Test Ride not necessary as I have owned a GS so I was particularly interested in how you have formed your own personal opinion.

Rubbish.

Eight and half years now for my 2011 RT. I only keep it as a winter hack because it's not worth much. I've had 3 GS's in that time (far superior bike) but might be tempted with a 1300 RT when they come out. Each to his own, but I would be interested to learn just what makes the GS "a far super...

I fitted the same Tyres to my Twin Cam and they also are a bit noisy. The Scalloping" you mention does seem to be a feature of these tyres (as is the case with some other brands) and this is what causes the noise (when leaning over in a bend) I must admit to being surprised as in comparable tyr...

Problem solved.
What I was doing after going through the deletion was "going back" to previous pages. I have tried closing down the forum after the deletion then re-opening and that works fine.

When I delete my Private Messages they re-appear after I re-open the Forum next day. What an I doing wrong ?.
