Caveat Emptor. My mechanic (and no he's not BMW certified, he's a common sense rebel) advised me NOT to use either this K&N filter or any other similar product. His reason is about as simple as it is logical: The values that were computed into the BMW R1200GS computer at the BMW factory run the engine at optimal value within the specs of what the engine can handle, giving it the amount of air it needs and tailored to match the specs of the 'paper version' filter. In other words, getting more air is NOT good, and getting less air not good neither. This has a chance to ruin your cylinders if I understood his warning correctly. The story would be different, if it were possible to change the values of the bike's computer and align them to the K&N filter's capabilities within the limits of the engine's tolerances. But you can't. So why ruin something that works well (paper filters last about 15000 km) and actually are dirt cheap between 10 to 20 Euro's a piece. I switched back to paper thanks very much. I'm glad I only paid 60 Euros for a filter I won't be using, while the cost of repairing the engine could have been a whole lot worse. KISS method (Keep It Simple Sweetheart) and Don't fix it when it ain't broken, are two very good approaches indeed.
I did a 6k miles round trip on BMW F800 GT from the UK to the Swiss Alps then Latvia. Now I'm thinking why I didnt put handle bar risers before starting my trip lol ...
I have been trying to get these tires on my wheels and they are impossible. Took them to a motorcycle repair shop and even they can't do it by hand. They are reluctant to use the machine because I have a huge hub motor in the rear wheel
Cam speechless dupa ce ai coborat :). Ehmm... :) Incearca Diavel-ul sa vezi acolo balls. Mie Multistrada mi s-a parut f apropiat de 1290 SAS ca si comportament.
In 2017 I put the E07 Dakar on my AT. I got 14k miles on the rear and it handled awesome. I put the E07 + on but had been spolied by the Dakar. The + was not nearly as good handeling as the Dakar. I found the front Dakar to be poor handeling.
I am new to the channel so bare with me for a maybe stupid question. You mentioned the Ktm 1190 Adventure. It would be fantastic with a comparison of the BMW R 1200 GS and the KTM 1190 Adventure as I am really stuck in the process of deciding which one of the 2 bikes I should buy.
Damn, it so nice to see you pop up on my feed again Ferry 🔥Did not understand a word, but did not matter... i'm coming to visit, i promise you that 🎉Cheers
I havent found a pair of risers made in china that werent cast aluminum why would you put them on your bike they shouldbe illegal cast aluminum is about 1/10 as strong as billet 6061 t6 dont be so cheap either buy billet or none duh!
Don't know about your experience or ehat material are this ones or how they are made , but what i know is the fact that this been thru hell and back with me for more than 30.000 km on road and off road and so far they are ok
Well, I have to say... it's good to see you back in business :-P Really enjoy your videos mate :-P Nice droneshots and mix of footage :-) Keep up the great work, and can't wait for the other things you working on :-D
