    Lube the splines...

    My advice is pull the shaft and do both ends. At 12k Kms when I changed my tyre the front of the shaft was drier than the rear end. It's not that difficult if you have a third hand 😁

    I've a 2024 R3R. Shortly after getting it I had rear brake issues. It was bled once by the dealership at 600km. Now 16k Kms no issues since.

    Service Wrench Question

    If you've had a license from a few years back it was a one off payment. Now it's annual

    Oil Cap - follow on

    Well after losing my filler cap the original has arrived. To prevent this happening again this is what I came up with.......I know this is theft proof but hopefully it will stop a lose cap disappearing into the countryside. I drilled a small hole through the centre collar. Then I fed a cable...

    Stupid oil cap

    With my blood sugar levels I'll need an Ozempic endorsement for the fuel cap 😂

    Stupid oil cap

    I lost my oil cap (and carbon trim) 🤬 ...... anyway still waiting for a replacement but I got a rally coming up at the weekend. So needs must - I trimmed down the plastic cover of an aerosol paint tin, lined the lip with 3M tape and hole covered. It seems pretty snug so hopefully it'll stay on...

    Ixil exhaust installed

    Panniers are not an issue. Been running this far 6 months or so and a few 2/3 day trips and despite how it looks I've had no problems

    Navigation with Bluetooth module

    Bluetooth module is worthless IMHO. Ive spent almost as much time setting it up as using it. Every time I stop to get fuel 100 yards later it just stops working. I now connect my phone directly to the helmet and use Google maps. I never found the navigation much use either. When I heard the bike...

    Oil leak or overfilled?

    If you check out some of my old posts I put up pics of possibly where your leak could be. There's an inspection cover under and behind the alloy air intake box on the left. The bolts on the box aren't torqued correctly at the factory. It's a known issue so should be done under warranty. Also...

    Airbox oil leak

    IIM not sure about the oil tank. My leak was a long inspection cover in front of the oil tank and under/behind the air box......the neutral light switch is also problematic but that's a simple fix ......so just make sure you're leak isn't one of those

    IXIL Exhaust

    For anyone saying that the Ixil will cook your bags I can confirm that I've run this set up on a few occasions 3 and 4 day trips and I've had no issues. I had my reservations before buying but a UK owner on FB confirmed it not an issue after a week in Spain
