Re: What did you do today?

Bought a GSA. I traded my Suzuki V Strom and got a decent enough deal. Now need to decide what to do with the RT. Likely sale coming methinks,

K52LC to new 1250, Worth it?

I've got a 2014LC with 52k on the clocks, fully serviced and tailored to fit me, lower pegs, high seat, bar risers, Carpuride car play, runs like a dream. I've had a 1250GSA and liked the shift cam and the dynamic suspension. It's a chunk of cash to change, is it worth it for the upgrade?

Re: CLUB WEMBLEY ACCOUNT HOLDER

Watched it through my fingers at home. I've supported Palace since we moved there when I was 4. Waited a long while for this feeling. See you at the Victory Parade. EAGLES!

Yes. Did a route through to Devil's Bridge then out to the coast, then back across the country to stay in Hereford. A great day out.

Re: 2007 BMW R1200RT WITH STICKING FRONT BRAKE LEVER

I had these symptoms on my K1200 and it turned out to be the brake hose deteriorating internally. Essentially little bits of rubber acting as a one way valve. Once changed and bled, all was good. Might be worth checking for sticky pistons first though as that's cheap and easy.

Re: Later version of the RT

I replaced my twin cam with an LC, and although it initially needed some fettling to be as comfortable (I'm over 6ft), I wouldn't change back. Although it's not night and day better, the overall package is just more refined.

Re: Poor heating of seats

Just a thought. I know of a case where a chap had 2 new seats under warranty. Then realised the cool cover he had fitted was the culprit. Whenever he took it to BMW he removed the cover of course. Erm......

Re: Poor heating of seats

Mine has the high seat and takes a good 10 mins on max to feel warm. It gets hotter and I can knock it down to 3 after about 20 mins.

Re: Has Santa been?

Carpuride 502b. Spent over an hour this evening trying to Connect everything to make it work. Eventually gave up and read the instructions. All good now, and I missed Call the Midwife as a bonus.
