I'm trying to get my UK bike registered in Belgium, but it's failing on the beam direction (It's for UK roads). I've been quoted €550 by the motorad branch.
I'm not having much luck finding used units - but I am seeing aftermarket LED units for around £180
Anyone used these? Any other options?
Thanks!

I've been using a phone mount accessory on the factory GPS cradle and it uses the charging pins for power. On my last big trip I noticed that my phone sometimes doesn't charge. Turns out the two pins that are responsible for power lost their springiness and now usually don't make contact. Took the whole thing apart, but the unit housing the pins is dipped in resin and is soldered to the board. Any ideas what I could do other than replace the whole cradle or connect an alternative power connection to the bike?

So, my bike has been running fine for the last 3 years (since I have had it). And when I prepared it for the summer, it was fine until the first real ride... then after 2 hours of having coffee at a friend's place, it wouldn't start and left me stranded.
I took it to a BMW specialty mechanic, it still doesn't work. He couldn't find the problem and doesnt really know what to do next yet. I will wait a bit since he is trying to think of something or take to another place, but first, I thought to check if anybody here recognizes the problem.
To be honest, I am quite bummed out ab ..read more

I'm looking to turn off the light that recommends when I upshift. I understand that it is best for fuel economy, but it sort of throws me off. The option to disable it doesn't appear to be where other say it should be - any recommendations? It is supposed to be in Settings > Vehicles Settings > Shift light, but it isn't there. Can you not turn it off in 2024 models or do I need some sort of override? Thanks.

Gestern war ich auf einer ersten Ausfahrt nach der Winterpause. Auf einer Kopfsteinpflasterstrasse bei langsamer Geschwindigkeit und offenem Helm bemerkte ich ein klappern. Dachte zuerst die Lampe is lose.
Angehalten und geschaut: der linke Bremssattel vorne links hat schon 1-2mm spiel, die Schrauben 3-4 Umdrehungen raus gedreht, und konnte man von Hand easy drehen.
Auf der rechten Seite war eine Schraube von Hand drehbar, die andere nicht.
Nachdem ich den Schreck überwunden hatte (waren zuvor noch 120km/h auf der Autobahn gefahren) erstmal nach Werkzeug gefragt und soweit handfest angezogen ..read more
