Another rip-off. New tools required and probably at high prices or only available to BMW dealers. No FIY.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into this. Maybe a local motorcycle store can give me a lead.

I have the Klim Latitude goretex suit. I like the suit but the armour in the knees seems to be out of position when I'm on my bike. I have only one choice in placing the armour in the pants. When I'm riding the knee armour is above my knees and I can't figure out how to get it to cover the knees ...

Several years ago Michigan did a similar test for police bikes. The BMW came in first on every test. The state bought Harley-Davidson bikes.

Several years ago I bought a cover made by Oxford. I got the XL and it covers my 2009 R1200RT bike with top box and panniers.

My speedometer is in kilometers. Is there a stick on decal that I can get which shows miles per hour? I've been looking for something like this, but no luck so far.

I had a problem with a 2009 RT. The throttle cams are made of plastic and degrade over time and could break. I had them replaced with metal ones.
