Don't look at oncoming lights. It is easy to get fixated on bright oncoming lights but try to look at the road, not the lights.

I tested a R1300GS and it was fine. Why they can't be consistent is a mystery to me.

It might be easier if we could read it!

That would be funny if it wasn't true!

The BMW R1200R, R1250R and R1250RS all have side stands that are too long - you need an incline otherwise you have to use the centrestand.
-
"BSAU159f states that no repairs are allowed in the sidewalls (these flex continuously and a repair is likely to fail), and the standard says repairs are not allowed on high speed Z-rated tyres"
-
As said earlier, there is no approved method of repairing Z rated tyres.
-
Most people seem to plug tyres and ride for miles with no problems. For Z rated tyres there isn't a recommended repair method but otherwise you could get it repaired if you are not confident. I've never had tyres plugged and changed them when punctured

The wheel turns and rocks from side to side depending on what you are doing. Turning the wheel goes up and down menu lists, left/right goes left & right. There is usually a clue as to which way you can go on the screen- an arrow or two.
-
Does pushing right work on other screens? For example on the screen before the one you showed (my vehicle) you should get a choice which includes setting/nav/sport screen ... can you scroll right then?
-
Yes, the arrow on the right means you press the wonderwheel to the right to get to the next screen.

Visor replacement frequency?
keith1200rs replied to Fiddlesticks's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I usually replace my pinlock every year and the visor every couple of years. They both get minute scratches which reduces visibility. I don't use the pinlock in summer when the weather is warm enough. -
They stopped using solid front wheels on push bikes when they realised what happened in cross winds.

I assume you are talking small bikes (125s)? I have never had problems with big bikes, but you do need to make sure you have the road space as you wbe blown around.
