• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Chris T oil smell like fuel

    This is first time I ever noticed this with over 30000 miles on my 2009 RS. The oil on the dipstick has a peculiar odor, like a fuel additive. I do use an additive with my fill ups. Any thoughts or experiences? Thanks

    Vibration in Handlebars at certain speeds

    Had the front wheels off last week to do brake work on my 09 GS SM5. Replaced them back one at a time as I completed the work. Lugs are snug. Never had the vibration before, was always smooth riding. Any thoughts?

    What does this brake failure code mean - C1282 - on 2009 GS?

    Thanks guys. This website is so great for those who do their own work. Bled the brakes this weekend and could not clear the fault code based on previous discussions, but after reading the post from Pistonblown I got it cleared. Just have to ride it now and see if it stays gone. Great work guys...

    What does this brake failure code mean - C1282 - on 2009 GS?

    Found a thread where someone else had the same code, C1282. They said it was low pressure detected, check for leaks. I added some fluid, see no leaks and am trying to clear the fault code now. Could the caps on the brake reservoir need replacing after 7 years? Don't seem to be making much of a...

    What does this brake failure code mean - C1282 - on 2009 GS?

    Thanks for reply, went for quick spin with hard braking, no problem but still have warning. Front pads look good, outside rear pad looks good but cannot see inner pad too well. It looks thinner but still looks ok at 30000 miles.

    What does this brake failure code mean - C1282 - on 2009 GS?

    When you say brake fluid caps at 8pm are you talking about the bulge type marker on the cap pointing at 8pm?

    What does this brake failure code mean - C1282 - on 2009 GS?

    Checked it twice because it was such unusual code, thought maybe because it was an older GS model.

    What does this brake failure code mean - C1282 - on 2009 GS?

    Recently on a trip I got the Brake Failure Warning. Brakes seemed to work fine, brake fluid topped off. Cautiously completed trip home and did a code check. Displayed a code of O C 1282 but cannot find this code in any research. Anyone know what it means?
