I have a 2014 RT in the shop that had a persistent gas smell on the test ride. Turned out the filler neck assembly was not sealing to the tank at the front. The top of the plastic tank is flat, and there's a rubber gasket on the bottom of the filler neck that seals to the tank. The front of the tank opening had a low spot that allowed a gap between the parts. I could see a rub mark there, as if something in the past had been pushing on that area so I bought a used tank, but the used tank is...

One of my fellow team-members of Ombudsmen on the BMW Car Club of America found an interesting article yesterday from a publication called "AutoEvolution' and passed it along." Seems like a further development of the presently-available "Shift Assistant Pro." I'm posting it below:

How old are you S1000XR riders? I am 71 and bought my XR last fall. I figure I may be at the top of the age range. I am guessing this will be my last new motorcycle. I like everything about the XR except being stuck in traffic at 35 mph. The engine makes an odd sound at that pace. I find the seat even passable,though as the miles pile up I may change my mind about that ..read more

From an email received today:
BestRest Products (home of the CyclePump Tire Inflator) has a new owner. Jim Delzer purchased the business in March, and he’ll be running it with his wife Kristin and sons, Ryan and Tyler, from their home in Sanger, Texas.
Twenty four years ago David Petersen invented a folding backrest for his BMW R1100GS, so that wife Judy would be more comfortable on their travels. Because it was the “best backrest” on the market, he named the company BestRest Products...

Was bleeding my rear brake yesterday and noticed the rubber piece inside the reservoir has a good size hole on it. I checked everywhere on the net but could not find a replacement for it. Anyone knows a store who might have them? If it comes with the reservoir I'll take that too, otherwise I'll risk buying another used one. Thank you ..read more

I have a 1974 Bmw r90/6. I am trying to find out what tire pressure sticker it had originally, right now it has none. The guy at Heritage stickers is not exactly sure which one it was. I believe it is either a black and white sticker or a blue and white. Also I have seen them in pictures on the seat pan and the rear fender, but not sure which is correct either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
