Hi everyone, For some background, I bought my buddy's 2008 F800st at the beginning of this year and have been riding it nearly everyday. It has 28,000 miles on it and it has been lowsided once. When I purchased it I took it to a BMW dealer to have the valves checked and forks resealed. I am...

In search of a loaded cylinder head or complete engine with low mileage that fits a '13 F800 GS. Anyone know where I might be able to find either of these for sale? Long story short - posted a few weeks ago about engine issues. It's since been discovered that I've got some bent valves... so...

I replaced my valve cover gasket this afternoon with the BMW DVD instructions, and now I can't get my bike started. The dials light up as expected, but with that I get a beep from the ECU (this isn't the fuel pump; this is definitely the ECU beeping. When I try to turn the engine over, I get a...

Can anyone tell me if Rotax engines are swappable between F800 versions? I know that S,ST are belt and R, GS are chain but apart from that and new gearbox sensor in newer versions can you adapt R, GS engine to S,ST?

Hi guys, I am new in this things! I just moved to another city and we don't have BMW dealer in here! on my owner's manual it say that I have to put SAE 10W40 oil engine! so I went to NAPA store and I got Castrol SAE 10W40 but it is for cars, I put it into my bike, but I have a friend who told...

I have an engine out of a new 2012 F650GS with no miles. I got the engine for a project on a F650GS, but since I was able to get a F800GS to work on, I have no use for this engine. ABS unit included. I could fix it on a pallet for shipping. $2,300 obo + shipping Selling the speedo in a...

are they compatable? I see the crash bars may interfere with the pastic cover that I want to buy from bmw.

I cant find any useful info about the rotax engine as to how it was developed, how reliable it is and how technologically advanced it is. Anybody have any useful info?

I've had this with two F800R now. Cold its fine. Warm its fine. Soon as I've been on a run thats got it really fully warmed up, I get this rattling, almost ticking noise from the engine when its on tick over and low revs. Not sure if its somert I should worry. Might take it in and get it seen...

I'm trying to decide between GSG and the SW-Mottehc frame sliders for the F800ST. Can anyone share their experience with each? I originally ordered the GSG through F800Depot, but they're on backorder. I then found the SW's but they're tough to get in the states. Are they worth it? Is one...

I just bought a used 2007 F800ST yesterday. About 40-50 miles into my ride today, the engine just turns off. I was slowing down before a set of lights. I had the clutch pulled in while it happened. Got home, played around with the kick stand, the ignition switch, kill switch, and as well as the...

... BMW took two blocks from the F800's engine and used them to build a 1.6-litre V4? I guess it'd have to be a single-plane crank so it would sound kinda fruity, and it'd be compact enough to give you a lovely slim bike, but it would have 170bhp or could easily be tuned for say 193bhp. [:P]...

There have been concerns that an engine cut out at speed on an F800 would result in the back end locking up and the bike going down so I decided to test this and video the result. The video shows a deliberate ignition cut off at 70 MPH and the clutch left out till the last rolling minute...

Hi, I found F800St with 33k kilometers, ABS, side bags and grip heaters. I checked it and it looks good. But i forgot to check chassis and engine numbers. So before I'm buying the bike I should check it. Where can I find chassis and engine numbers on the bike? Thank you.

Has anybody experienced real problems with the F800GS? I mean like engine or breaks or other main parts that do not work the way they should. I am asking because some friends were telling me the first F800GS had some problem with the engine and anoher one with the front brakes, do not know...

Hello, I was wondering if you guys recommend a wax or special cleaning agent on the engine casing. Do you think a coat of wax (as recommended by BMW for painted surfaces) would help in cleaning/preventing stains? Thanks

Popped into my dealers today to hear my rebuilt engine. This was a 19,000 mile engine with piston slap and some case corrosion. I must give credit to SBW and the mechanic for the effort and attention. The old pistons where badly worn and because they are over square (the piston about 3 inches...
