    Shop Manual for the R1250GS Adventure ?

    Hi there, I’m trying desperately to find a shop manual for my 2021 R1250GSA. My local dealer (Ottawa, ON) has screwed me over for the last time and long story short… I guess I’m going to have to do my own service going forward. Doesn’t matter if I void the warranty at this point, there are no...

    Wheel cleaning gizmo

    So I've owned my latest R1200RT (2014) for a little over two years and have added about forty-thousand kilometers to her. What a great machine! There are very few times I don't arrive home and smile slightly as I remind myself what a fantastic job the "enginerds" in Bavaria have pulled off...

    I have passed my 6000 mile valve adjustment by 400 miles. I did get to the oil though. However, I won't be able to do the valve and tbs before I ride to Heber, AZ. About 300 miles to get there, 300 return, plus whatever riding I do there. Now, I have seen that some heavy touring riders don't...
