I'll run the scan again when I get home but it said the ecu logs it as being partially open and stuck there. I think it stated at 15% open

Just an FYI for all. I'm using the servobuddy eliminator modules and although they keep a light from flashing on the dash there is still a fault code on the ECU. Runs fine but it will show up when scanned.

Thank you! Makes total sense

Also a side question. Where did you guys get your kern stabi from? All the places I've found wont ship outside of Europe?

Just so I understand clearly (doing my valves this weekend). The TDC mark shows when one side is top of compression. Set that side then rotate flywheel around and back to the marks and then the other side is at top of compression. Correct?

When I did the first service myself the dealer sold me 75w-90 saying that’s what they used. I’m going by this week to get all the parts for the 10k service and will ask about using it for the transmission as well. $40 cdn per litre.

I had that same message come up on my last road trip. I hit a bug and even though there wasn't much left over it faulted out the ACC and the cruise control. After I wiped and cleaned it the error went away. I asked at my dealer and they said that its a safety default in case a minor bit of gunk...

Going to ask next time I'm at the dealer. Just noticed these grips online this morning.

Not the scientific approach, but for the classic it still shows as compatible when the heated grip option is selected on the "build your own" BMW site.

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the grips on a classic vs a bagger or a TC? BMW now has these available for the classic but they don't show as compatible with the bagger. I'm wondering if that's only because there's no provision for mounting the bar weight. They look...

Just finished a 2400km road trip and my best was 52mpg

That angle in the picture makes it look like they’re blocked but when in the seat it’s a clear view of both. It is close though.
