Swapped my Sena from my snowmobile helmet back to my street helmet. Seeing as my RPHA is now 7yrs old I’m looking at the RPHA 70 ST to replace it this year or next.
Fancy no lube chain is performing as expected then? Less stretch than a conventional chain as well?Sight checked oil ....no change...filled water bottle...my kinda maintenance. TPMS checks pressure when I ride. That's it for 12,000 km.
no perceptable stretch - nothing kinking but it's early
I don't know if it's the same issue, but there's a thread over on ADV about the S1000XR which I read through when I was considering it as a bike and they were saying that one of the OEM lights (maybe headlight, I can't recall), seem to always go out every 10-20k and didn't matter if it was a newer gen or an older gen.When a front T10 parking bulb had burnt out (in less than 10,000km btw) on the BMW I swapped in a set of LED I had sitting in the shop over the winter. First startup of the Spring I get a light error for the stupid canbus crap. Didn’t think about it as my last bikes already came with led lighting. Anywho, $14 on Amazon got me a pack of 10 replacement error-free led’s so back out came the needle nose pliers and swapped a pair in. White headlights, no errors.
Yes this is very common. The last two I've owned, 2012 R1200GS and 2019 R1250RT followed that pattern. It doesn't seem to matter the quality of the bulb and replacement is awkward but doable with a few hand and finger wounds. Problem solved with the new models of both GS and RT as they are full LED now.I don't know if it's the same issue, but there's a thread over on ADV about the S1000XR which I read through when I was considering it as a bike and they were saying that one of the OEM lights (maybe headlight, I can't recall), seem to always go out every 10-20k and didn't matter if it was a newer gen or an older gen.
Pulled a new tire out of box and got to thinking how my nice new jack is already in use under the project on the lift.
Project is now a roller but lift is not wide enough to use kick stand to free lift.
Getting project off lift onto floor to free jack means moving the sled.
Moving the sled means moving the....and so on.
I'm looking forward to the forthcoming news article about EOD being dispatched from Borden when someone found shells in their dad's basement.A buddies late father brought a couple of 40mm Bofor shells back from Korea. I turned up dummy projectiles for them and yesterday they got the first coat of paint.
