    Y-piece pricing

    No idea where they got those prices for a y-pipe, very heavy going. Scorch supplied mine, about the same price as yours. https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=54351.0 You can see what I got in the thread above

    First time adv bike, advice Please!!

    I started off with the 650 TA. That has a 21'' front wheel. The newer 700 doesnt. I only had the TA for a year before I wanted something with some longer legs. Very easy bike to ride, and light enough to catch yourself when moving it about. I somehow managed to drop my GS in my...

    Scorched my GS

    Im in CT. I will make a short video and stick it on youtube. Hopefully it will give you an idea. The stock exhaust wasnt that heavy, probably the same as the new pipe, so the only weight saving was removing the cat +- 5KG or so. The Y-pipe went straight onto the std headers, there is even a...

    BMW R1200GS/GSA - Boxer Engine - UPDATE - SEPT 2010 !!!!

    Thanks for the info. So what does the ECU use to base its calculations on? Does it just use a Volumetric efficiency table VS TPS position and RPM? If it makes any difference to you guys with the 1200's,  I have a bone stock 1150gs. If it helps your cause and you need it to be tested anywhere...

    BMW R1200GS/GSA - Boxer Engine - UPDATE - SEPT 2010 !!!!

    Because of air density differences at different altitudes, you cant measure air by volume. One litre of air at the coast would not be the same as one litre of air up north. The way its done is to use mass. 1 kilogram of air is always 1 kilogram of air. this is the way engines do their fuelling...

    BMW R1200GS/GSA - Boxer Engine - UPDATE - SEPT 2010 !!!!

    Hey guys I have read this thread with interest. I am new to bikes, and new to my 1150GS. I have spent alot of time tuning cars, with either full aftermarket ECU's or piggy back systems, or remapping the std ECU/PCM's on certain cars. From the results you have posted, they are running lean. A...

    1150 gs with gsa 1st gear

    Canola Run 2010 - Caledon, Western Cape 28 Aug 2010

    Thanks for the info. Im definitly interested if work allows. As a total novice to riding, would it be recommended to use the Transalp with all terrain tires or the heavier GS with Meizler (spelling) tourance tires, or is it that easy I wont have a problem with either.

    Canola Run 2010 - Caledon, Western Cape 28 Aug 2010

    1150 gs with gsa 1st gear

    Thanks for the info guys. I think its worth an extra bit of investigation on my side. I loved the 1st gear on my TransAlp, really easy to do some slow riding. I do need some more saddle time on the GS. I didnt get to ride it much before I left the country for work.

    1150 gs with gsa 1st gear

    Im not too worried about the extra offroad ability of the GSA. My offroad limits are way lower then the std GS. But I do like a shorter 1st gear, makes for easier slow riding. Surely replacing the whole box is a little OTT. Surely you can get the 1st gearset from BMW and just replace it as you...

    1150 gs with gsa 1st gear

    I just got a 1150 gs, after doing some searching I found the GSA has a shorter 1st gear. Has anyone changed out their Gs's 1st for and adventure one? I like the idea of the shorter 1st, and would like to try it. Any help or advice would be great
