    Panniers, why so difficult to obtain in New Zealand?

    I have contacted the shop I bought it from, they said they will try and hunt them down via previous owner or in one of their drawers. No guarantees though. When I bought it I got the spare keys and the manual, nothing else. Shop says they usually put stuff like that under the seat, but not...

    Panniers, why so difficult to obtain in New Zealand?

    Will keep an eye out for you, your bike looks just like mine. Anyway, update. Got my bags today, problem being it doesn’t come with the lock barrels. I understand that these are supplied with the bike when new? Unfortunately i bought mine 2 years old, and they were not passed on to the dealer...

    Panniers, why so difficult to obtain in New Zealand?

    Yes tried them, ChCh & Dunedin. Seems they’re made from unobtanium. I’m off on 15 Feb (there’s another tale of NZ companies that can’t meet demand (thanks Ferries). Anyway, heading North Island as well with a couple of mates. No set route, just ride and have fun following the sun. I might need...

    Panniers, why so difficult to obtain in New Zealand?

    I wanted to purchase and install original sport panniers & brackets on my R3. I have a big trip (2 weeks riding) coming up in February, so ordered back in September, was told mid November as none in stock. Come mid November, no reply. Rang them back twice now, still no reply on ETA. Decided to...

    My R3GT won’t start after a puncture

    Right, after a hiatus because I was too busy with work, I finally took it in to the dealer a few days ago. Picked it up a couple of days ago, turns out it was a faulty ECU relay. Don't know what caused it, but bike back to normal.

    My R3GT won’t start after a puncture

    Tried this today. As i suspected, no change at all. It’s def not the battery, not the fob and not the fuses. Looks like it’s a mystery for the dealer to solve

    My R3GT won’t start after a puncture

    I will try it tomorrow, but have never had an issue with it other than a low fob battery on the dash early this year, to which I replaced said battery and no issues since.

    My R3GT won’t start after a puncture

    Unfortunately no. It (the red light) does go off though, but i am thinking the immobiliser could be a possibility stopping it from going

    My R3GT won’t start after a puncture

    It’s def not in gear, and yes no seperate off on switch like the USA bikes. I put a brand new fob battery in a couple of months ago. The fob lights up green for go as it should. All checks indicate no problem with the battery or fuses, yet the LCD dash will not turn on. The turn indicators do...

    My R3GT won’t start after a puncture

    That was the first thing i tried, also tried jumping with my jump starter and from my car battery. It appears it is not battery related

    My R3GT won’t start after a puncture

    Done that when i removed the battery to charge. All connections are clean and tight. As i said in my post, i tried jumping from my car battery with no luck.

    My R3GT won’t start after a puncture

    whilst the puncture obviously didn’t actually cause it to not start, it was the catalyst. A week prior i did s ride, all good. Following weekend my wife pointed out a flat rear tyre. So i power the bike on to release the steering lock so i can roll it out of the garage. I found the hole in the...
