Mates I woke up this morning and got ready for work (like every day) and then I start my bike while I was preparing my self (gloves & helmet) I start to smell fuel:uhoh:. I then realize that I was having a big fuel leaking and I could see some drops in the garage floor (the engine was running...

I have engine oil leaking from the airbox overflow pipe. I've been told that it is likely that my piston rings are shot and I either have to bore out the old ones and fit new or just get a decent second hand engine. I don't want to get rid of the bike as it has a lot of sentimental value after...

Earlier I had posted a pic with the amount of water I took from the gas tank as I drained it for shipping to my new residence in Bretagne. Well as it rains a lot here, I quickly concluded that my gas cap leaks water into the fuelling cavity, and, if later, eventually into the tank. With a steady...

Hi everyone, me again. I've been noticing small leaks of oil on the LHS of the bike, making the rocker cover 'oily'. At 1st i thought it may be aseal in one of the rocker cover bolts, but no. I have now tracked it down to the breather hose that leads from the rocker cover to the oil header...

Recently carried out a 12000 mile service on a 2000 funduro and found working on it a sheer delight, although topping up the oil was a little fiddly, and had to do it gradually, as suggested by Wilbur anf Maxis.Also changed the plugs and coolant,(easy)and then set about changing the fork...

I have a 1997 F650st with a leaking rear shocker, now BMW tell me that the rear shock unit is not serviceable, is this the case? Also, if I do have to replace the whole unit do I consider an aftermarket replacement? Does anyone have any experience of aftermarket shocks? Many thanks John :howdy:

Whenever I open my top box it has a half inch of water in it from being parked outside in the rain. Anyone else seen this? Where is the rain likely to be getting in and how can I stop it? Cheers

BMW actually agreed to a new replacement top box which i picked up from Clarks Motorcycles this morning. If this one leaks then i will have to get a pack of bin liners or buy a Givi top box which i know will not leak. Incidentally the box leaked worse when the bike was parked in the rain rather...
