    Too old to ride?

    I think a prerequisite to ride any BMW other than an S1000 is being over 60

I just started and inspected it thoroughly for damage/drops. I've test riden many bikes though, as long as you pull up on a...

    Where to buy brake pads?

    Rotors look fine, if you aren't going to run a dial indicator then don't worry about them, M/C rotors are very expensive. Check your sliders, they might be seized. Also, you should avoid brake cleaner on the calipers, its better not to get it on the piston seals, just use a degreaser or soap and...

    Motorcycle Towing

    I wouldn't tow with that, there's a lot moving in the gearbox when the bike is in neutral and with no oil pump running I'd be seriously concerned about lubrication issues

    New rider trying to lube chain for first time

    Easiest, cleanest way to lube a chain is put the bike on a rear stand, spin the wheel backwards and spray chain lube on the sides of the inner rollers and o-rings towards the front sprocket. Always lube the inside of the chain so it penetrates outwards as the chain turns. Kerosene is the...
