    BMW word ook nou automaties

    I rode the 900XR with quick shifter when my bike went in for service. I found that shifting without clutch on my own bike was a lot smoother than the quick shifter on the XR, I was not at all impressed with it.

    My bike will be standing for 4 months. What maintenance should I do?

    In all honesty, I wouldnt do a thing. Let it stand for 4 months. Before you use it again, top up the battery and ride it.
