I did spin it by hand and did not notice any sort of wobbling. I dropped the rim off at the shop again this morning. I'm not in a rush for it, so I left it for them to remount it and keep it there to make sure there are no leaks. Hopefully the rim isn't the issue, because a new one from BMW is...

Hi all, I recently had new tires installed (about a month ago). I was going to head out yesterday and noticed a completely flat front tire. I put air in it and looked for a puncture. Couldn't find anything. I removed the wheel and did the soapy water test. I found one side if the wheel...

Thanks all, Passed safety with no issues and also the weird transmission issue seems to have resolved. I'm not sure which did it, but I adjustment the clutch to reduce some slack (according to the manual), and, with the bike off and in gear, rolled it back and forth a few time. I read doing...

Hey all, As you may have seen from my other post I recently picked up a '18 s1000r. I have two questions: Do these front brake pads have enough life to pass safety (photo linked below). I will be ordering new ones either way, but I plan to get the tires replaced and safetied tomorrow, then...

Agree 100%.

Ah...no worries at all. Some good news. I managed to clear the service notification on the dash with OBDLink LX and MotoScan. It looks like I have access to other things as well, like bleeding ABS! I also called 109 Cycle for the tire change (and safety). I just need to get my hands on a...

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.
