The big, dangerous, problem with these motors is the valve clearances reducing; caused by the valves wearing the seat. At least in theory. When the clearances (measured cold) are too tight, the valve...
I was not intending to offend. I was trying to work out the effect of change of a component / alignment in one area with alignment in another. Had I been better able to set out the comment on my...

If you have even tire wear on the outside edge you have TOO MUCH TOE IN....and you need to remove some of the toe ( lessen it ).

My guess he was fired when BMW...

What is the problem with car tyres? As much as I like my RS SM I know it is not a motorcycle. I have been riding daily since 1968. Hondas, Yamahas, Suzukis, Kawasakis, BMW and even a Moto Martin. I...
zip ties. rescue tape. mobile phone.money.
same thing happened to me last week on an 09 RS SM. It is winter here in Oz so heat stress is not expected. Best guess isthat it started with a poor or loose connection to thermostat housing which...
