Ssky .. Been gone ....
Just found this thread. Lots of misery..... Sorry But I couldn't find in your last note that you finally got it running right - and what the actually problem was. Your note said they tore it down - but that it was still running like crap.
What's the rest of the...
Sky,
Thanks for the return.
Your early messages were full of kinda scary "happenings". Makes people a little nervous.
Sounds like you've got a ton of stuff going on! It sounds really good! Glad you're having a great time!
This doesn't sound good.
But it would help if you could explain what happened a little more clearly
."small pull"?
"do big valve noise"?
These engines are capable of very long lives - if properly maintained. -- 200,000 + miles.
If mistreated, though, no.

Why don't you by-pass your unfriendly dealer and internet shop another BMW store. Make a dea, settle on all fees and conditions, prior - all in print. No haggle. Go it the bike.
I did that with a car - got a huge amount off. Showed up - signed the papers - took off.
Virtually all dealers initially price a bike (or car, or ...) higher than what they actually will take. What they take depends on many things - one of which is who they think they are dealing with and how badly they think that person wants that bike. Yeah, gamesmanship. But, that is what...
Don't know what your laws are there in S A .. if you have horsepower limitations or time limitations as some places do. But as for the machines, you are accustomed, with the cbr600rr, to more performance - power than the FZ6r has. You might be disappointed if you went that way. Check on the...
MAN! That's good stuff! I haven't heard of Yamaha refusing anyone before. Too bad they made those mistakes - but they are still trying to make it right for people. Ya gotta give em some credit.
Buy a polyester suit or polyester jacket and matching pants. Lots of companies make these. When you pack them, roll them up so they don't wrinkle. Polyester resists wrinkling well. I learned this with much traveling. Wool coats are a no-no, wrinkle for sure.
Excellent! Thanks.
I know what you mean about replacing a gone bad tire with the exact same model. But, chances are it was just a fluke with the fist one. Sounds like broken cords. Coulda been a defect but it coulda been due to a curb hit - something like that. I've seen it before - it's...
Yeah - you've two credit card dings - but really only one. The way that works is that the card companies - credit monitoring companies watch you and if they see you are applying for credit for a car - they recognize that you could go to a number of dealers and each will pull a report, All...
I don't own one - but am pretty sure there is a tip-over switch - and needs to be reset. Also a centerstand switch possible. A gen 1 owner will come along and help you out. Or you could check out youtube - almost everything is there.
Sorry about your the tip-over.
