For optimal performance, it's recommended to connect the motorcycle cables first, and then the Optimate charging leads (so they are on top not between). This configuration helps minimize resistance, ensuring efficient battery charging and preventing potential issues when the bike is in use.

Trying to get this straight. The preload for passenger , and or bags needs to be selected on the center stand. But. I can adjust sport mode comfort mode ect while on the bike and or moving? (2015 KTM 1290 super adv)
@Grumpybikewizard6 ай бұрын
Doesn't need to be on the stand, just needs to have no dynamic load on it (i.e. you're not sitting on it) for preload adjustment. Driving mode can be done any time.

Just guessing: is the purple wire to detect that you are moving and if that is the case it won't let you operate the satnav unit?
@Grumpybikewizard8 ай бұрын
Possibly yeah, but not necessarily for that reason - the BMW satnav units have a load of data they take from the bike like speed, lean angle etc. - so it's most likely that.

Nothing worse than the absolute devastation of a mad overpriced breakfast, especially when it smells lovely. Motorways are no craic anyway. Jobs are over rated, become one of them investor influencers who are minted and just tell everyone "cmere be minted like me". Did you ever name it? "Not a lemon" isn't a great name. Yeah luggage is way easy to over do. Member Wales? I only had a bag and topbox and could have managed with that for ages. The one bike thing is interesting, I might have to steal that and make a video on it tbh. I honestly feel you might miss the sitty uppy superiority of the GS. Delicious wet nonsense hahahahahaha. I only have clammy plastic sadly. It's way too hot here a lot of the time for something like Rukka. I do love the sound of the rain bopping off a helmet. Hurty rain is not great. A grand auld shpin.

Show us all the short class bits, the Dolomites I'd watch a 15 hour video of that place so I'm a bad case study. That's the only way to be tbh, feels too much like work if you go out only for videos.

Fit wider tubular bars and risers and a high seat for improved legroom and you have a GS beating all rounder. I like the older dash. It’s simple and clear. Most of these tft screens are way too cluttered with too much information and take your eyes off where you should be looking. Fit a Navi6 and you have your tft (effectively) . The RS is way better value used. Just bought a 2018 model 7K under new price with 5k on the clock. If it’s half as good as my older GSA I’ll be a happy man.
