I do mine at intervals of at most 5k, sometimes 3 to 4k, it makes it easier on the pocket since mineral oil not so expensive. Cleaning the air-filter regularly also important for me.

 

Chong Chong, show us some pics of the leak?

 

Cheers

 

Thanks Coolcat, cant see much with photos, I attached some diagrams for clearer indication, hope it helps. MTD changed the oil seal twice but problem still persist.

Hope i succeed to post my pic of my last bike steed 400

Merry Christmas

Hi all

 

What are the items that one could possibly get as freebies when purchasing at R1200GSA from PML?

 

If uncomfy in disclosing here, pls PM me.

Anyone willing to disclose this to me? Thru PM perhaps?

 

Thank you.

There was a gathering of BMW owners at prinsep street last night, counted at least 5 beemers when I passed by. Just wondering if they were from here.

The gathering was at Creperie des Arts, a French Breton creperie run by Johan Aubertin, brother of Nicholas from the BMWMCS.

Hey guys, I was at PML yesterday and I saw a "heartpain" damaged on this particular bike. If I'm not wrong it belongs to Gabriel & Theresa.

 

I don't want to describe in details how the accident took place but there was extensive bloodstains on the bike.

 

If you are here, I hope you are ok and get well soon...

[coolcat]

I've gone on a ride with the local beemer club. They are nice people, fast riders tho.

 

Owner, if you want to know what goodies, best to ask PML themselves. I think that they would want to get sales too. Hmmm. .. that less than 1 kg carbon helmet ... keke

Wowee it seems that more and more F800GS are on the road now..

 

no b!g deal i'd say...

[I_Ride_A_Bike]

It simply means that BMW and PML are doing a good sales dude. Now that Japanese bikes are costlier due to rising YEN,I believe that BMW will even be a hit next year. The F800GS is just affordable. Salesman doing a good job.

 

hah..looks like u will do well as the current PML salesman for you to say that..

though the bike wins all hands down.

Not yet Christmas but heres an early Wishing all riders a very Merry X'mas and safe riding in all the new years ahead.

Hi fellow riders

 

Ive juz bought a pre own F 650 GS , Would any body able to enlighten me the following :-

 

Where else to get parts instead of PML( Looks like they dun really store much of parts )

 

Reliable mech in Beamer

 

Also had some prob with brake , Can we replace with other jap part instead of brembo i.e booster pump and repair kit etc

 

 

Million tks

The F65GS is a lovely machine. I nearly bought one when I wanted a Class 2 bike. You will need to study the very comprehensive chain-gang site i.e. http://www.f650.com

There's eBay, and overseas BMW parts shops. PML is great, actually, because they will place you order for ya and it is clear what you are ordering, no hidden overseas freight and taxes. However, I have experienced some difficulty with PML for older parts or small orders. YMMV.

 

Reliable beemer mech, hmmmm, the usual suspects: M-Tech, Perfection Motors (recommended). The F650GS guys will know better.

Hi welcome, the f650 is a great bike..... common problems i have with my ex 650gs is the contacts of the starter switch and passing light beam switch, need cleaning and some alignment if you find that one day you press the start button and nothing happens.

[Guest Mr.Black]

A Very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year

Wow!!!!!!!!!

 

After seeing this I am so ashamed of myself....to think that I kept the mufflers wrapped in newspapers and tapes....

Wow!!!!!!!!!

didnt know that 1150r's muffler is a slip on. is it? no wonder owners can easily get rid of the cat con and put on a y-pipe and endcan ensemble.my 1100 's muffler and cat con are 1 unit.u have to torch it to separate them.

[ah_veo]

anyone here free to ride up to Phuket in Apr 09 ?

i've never ride up to Thailand b4,very tempted.......

[josean]

i might be riding up. going the slow and easy way instead of the fast and furious.

 

however i need till about late Jan/early Feb to confirm again.

[spyder8850]

Same here... Maybe going up Phuket for the Songkran cum Bikeweek. But I got to wait till Feb or Mar to confirm.

[ah_veo]

ha!same mindset here.i oso prefer the slow & relac speed. Safety comes First. lets try to make ourselve available between 8-14apr. and confirm attendance by early mar? anyone here been there b4 coz we need a leader here.hehe....

if no one can make it, i may just join the SBF group for my birgin thailand bike trip. hehe....

[Guest Owner]

Besides the OEM BMW boxes for GSA.. are there any better looking ones? The ones i saw from other makes... just doesnt quite make the mark aesthetically.

[josean]

i would most prolly join kenny seaw's grp.

travelled with him many times throughout the years of riding.

 

that is... if he is organising a trip for 09.

 

else, i would check out my options when feb comes
