New Member Introductions » Hello, new 1250 owner

HI,
collecting new yellow sport 1250 in a few days. Traded in my XR for it.
Had the 1200 WC 3 or 4 years ago and loved it just not enough power as at time was my only bike.
Now this bike will be just for touring only and it has bags of power for that.
Allready started buying mods for it!

Welcome on Board

Well shit weather and not struck a bat with it yet after few weeks, still 7 PDI miles on it.
Good thing its fully prepped now and gadgeted up in readiness

I've been enjoying mine for 1700 miles and I don't care about the weather as she's ACF50 protected and I wash her once a week if I can. The only difficulty I find is getting to the rear shock to clean as I refuse to pay £150 for the plastic Mudsling. I say get out and enjoy your bike as long as it's not snowing.

I've found, there are few "farkles" that are affordable on BMW bikes. The Mudsling is a little pricey, but quite functional. Speaking to the difficulty and time taken to access the shock to properly clean it, I think you'll find it worth the coin.

This might be a bit left field but I'm wondering if the mudslinging from a GS would fit as there's usually cheap versions on ebay for that bike. I've got an original on mine and agree it's worth the money just to keep the rear shock clean.
