It's an old BMW riders' joke... I also know all the things BMW stands for in English and German my favorite... Bring Mich Workzeug... Bring my repair bill :-)

Something like that.... Listen wunderlich is essentially the insane asylum of BMW accessories, everything is perfect and shipped and comes with bolts and instructions... but a windshield deflector is $300 :-) to be fair, that windshield deflector has lasted me 20 years. The paint and fit and...

I’m going to say something controversial. Flog it; ride it like you stole it. Boxers like revs and more revs. Break in is to break it if there were factory defects:-)

It’s a weekender seat. I put the original seat on to show it :)

Added the wunderlich luggage rack, took pictures and won best import at a pretty big show… and did 400 miles of riding

Ack on the cost topic… Do you know what the cheapest thing on a BMW motorcycle is? The Rider?

I use Motul 15w50 (German 15w50) and the moose gear oil. Amazon, when they see you’re buying the oil, will offer you a filter and crush gasket as well :-)

It’s a BMW, so it handles pretty well for an 800 pound bike. I had a raft of issues with my FE; I had problems getting them resolved as well. But it is a truly beautiful bike. And it’s got serious performance chops. Once it’s rolling it doesn’t feel like an 800 pound bike

They only sols a couple thousand Pan Americas... but gawd that bike is an absolute home run. I do not miss the GS in any way shape or form.

Well that was easy... ordered it

worth it. I've had a lot of Russel seats. Hideously ugly but the best seat ever. GO for heated and real leather :-)

It's a T50 torx

Amazon sells the Motul 15w-50 with a filter and a crush gasket as a package. One last piece of advice, make sure to get the correct oil filter wrench. Bob’s BMW sells them cheap. The correct standard bmw oil filter wrench and the hair dye dispenser are priceless tools

The perfect final drive filler

A hint…. Don’t use the syringe. A hair die applicator from sally beauty is the way to fill a bmw final drive… no, I’m not kidding :-)

I'm fast and furious. I plugged the footpeg holes today with the official BMW solution. looks great!

I am a walking, talking Metzeler ad but the Michelin Commander IIIs that came with my bike are excellent. They have held up in the wet and to aggressive riding. I am pleased. Early wear is an indicator something's not right. perhaps low tire pressure and hopefully not a suspension problem.

Join the club; I am a long time BMW owner and have been pretty disappointed

I am gonna tell you a story. When I was a kid my stepdad had parents (like many do). On their back porch were 2 R60s... as a young enduro racer I was hypnotized... black, sleek, mysterious... rumors abounded their cycles were all designed by German wonder weapon designers. They were...
