A 12Ah battery was fitted to the 2008 - 2013 models, and even some of the early LCs. It is a smaller battery than the 14Ah, so a spacer...

Not sure whether that will work. You would need to get the weld all the way to the bottom of the hole for it to be effective. IMO...

Oh Sh1t!!

Is that subframe steel or Aluminium?

If you were to remove the minimum of material from the hole, you wouldn't be able to use a Helicoil, but you could fit a Timesert, which...

I have a client that has a good instrument cluster available. I think he wanted R4.5k.for it though. What is yours doing/not doing...

It is repairable, and there are e few options. 1: Remove the subframe and mount it in a milling machine. Then "drill" out the oval...

Correct. Earliest F800GS was 2008 Bearing failure on startup ... I don't think so. Maybe it was on "wake-up". Like he fell off, was...
