I was just planning to do an oil change with Motul 7100 5w40. I wasn't aware the s1000 had clutch oil...am I missing something? I will be bleeding the brake fluid and coolant next season. The battery holds good charge and was always on a trickle charger during storage.

I did come across BrenTune (btmoto?) during my research. I'll research it in more depth if it low-rpm weirdness bothers me enough. I've got the bike parked in my garage while I wait for my tires to be delivered. The previous owner already had the dealer put on a taller, tinted screen, R&G...

We'll see if I grow to love this bike as much as my beloved Street Rx. I do believe I got an excellent deal on the S1K though, so there's that. The Triumph, after 40,000km, was still as smooth and responsive as the day I got it. The fit and finish was still immaculate, and every quickshift...

Thanks all for the feedback. I bought the bike. I also purchased an OBDLink LX but haven't had time to play with it yet. I did manage to use my old ELM327 ODB scanner with MotoScan (free version for now) to read for codes, and it returned "no codes". So I assume I just need to reset the service...

Thank you all for the feedback. I've arranged to see the bike a second time and test ride it this weekend. If all goes well I'll bring it home. @Hardwrkr13 thank you for the offer. I looked into the MotoScan app and will be purchasing an OBDLink adapter. Do you know what the difference is...

Hey all, Went to go see a '18 S1000R today. I'm very interested in the bike but have a few questions. I'm not familiar with the brand. The bike has under 8k on it and the service now light is on. Should I be worried? Owner said it's in need of an oil change and that the warning comes on based...

Yep. I read the entire Aprilia thread with Gabro chiming in on the overheating issues. I think he put out some maps that set the fan to turn on earlier, but riders still reported their bikes overheating. Perhaps if I stop watching YouTube clips of tuonos with that glorious engine roar I'll be...

I think I'm perhaps attracted to the Tuono because of the price. There are 2021 models for $16,000 with less than 3,000km on them. I did consider the SDR but can't get over the looks (no disrespect to your bike). I completely agree with i4 bikes being bland. After owning several of them I moved...

I've watched probably every YouTube clip of the Tuono V4 and read countless threads on forums. I'm at the point now where I've set up alerts for deals posted on Kijiji (and FB). I'm wondering though...am I going to have regrets in regards to quality and reliability? There are so many posts...

The seller postponed the viewing yesterday. He said there was another buyer who saw it previously and wanted to check it out once more.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to see if the seller will allow me to test ride the bike. Of course I'll offer cash in hand, as I did when I bought the Street Triple. I know many sellers are against test rides, so we'll see how it goes. That's right. I wanted to stick with Triumph given the...

Thank you all - I appreciate the feedback. @bigpoppa "short on character" - I haven't ridden one myself, but did come across a few reviews that mentioned this as well. I assume it's like comparing my old cbr or zx6r to the street triple. I found the triple way more fun to ride than the other...

After 6 years and 35k trouble free kilometers I parted with my Street Triple. It was an awesome bike, especially after a slight gearing change. I initially sold it because I was interested in getting into a 2024 Street Triple or perhaps the 2023 Speed 1200rs. After looking at the numbers I...

That was fast. Thank you, wizards.

A while back someone posted a link to an online retailer that sells replacement bumpers. Anyone got suggestions? This is for a 2017 white bmw X1

This reminds me of the nightmare I had to go through with a new Saab I got in 2008 from a GM dealership. The car started developing transmission issues at under 1,000km. It was a year long process, but I went through CAMVAP and GM was forced to buy the lemon back from me and pay me for time...

We did feel bad about taking a livable space away from locals, but then....look at what we're going through with locals. We're actually considering not even renting the basement anymore and just using it as storage. It's almost not worth the headache (and actually a loss at this point).

We lived in the house for 6 years and AirBnBd the basement apartment to over 250 guests, and only ever had 2 issues: escort booked the place, and after the 2nd unregistered guest/visitor we had airbnb kick her out a guest booked the apartment for 2, but had 4 people stay. We notified them and...

Thanks for the feedback. The presentation deck from the property lawyers mentions the offer needs to be enticing ($5k to $70k). We're thinking $5k total, including last months rent, moving fees etc since it's a lower unit apartment. If she asks for more and more, we'd have no choice but to...

Update: Upstairs tenant reported her to police and his own insurance. They are investigating. Unfortunately her lifestyle and behaviour is not suitable for living in a duplex. She needs her own, private space. We called her and offered her an option for cash for keys, which includes...
