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...

Hi All, I just bought an F800R 2012 model. Having couple of issues, thought of reaching out to others for guidance. 1. ABS Red sign shows up sometimes. Both RDC are working fine and show pressure. The sign disappears when I switch off the engine and restart. Goes fine for sometime and comes up...

There are no good threads showing exactly the differences between HVMP and stock bar ends are on the newer F800Rs. After installing the HVMPs, there is a very noticeable reduction in vibration through the grips--I don't have a specific way of measuring this yet, but it is significantly...

Hi all, Thanks for having us here at your forum. As promised (but a little late) I'll tell you about our company. To quote from our homepage at HVMP.com: "HVMP's high-quality motorcycle bar end weights are specially designed to reduce the handlebar vibrations felt by riders. This is done...

I replaced the stock levers with adjustable Pazzo levers (long version) in the hope that they would help reduce the numbness in my left hand caused by vibration. The stock lever was just too far away so I pressed my palm to much against the grip. I haven't tried a multi-day ride with them yet...

Hello. Let me preface this with "I love my local shop-the people who work there are great and the service since I've had my bike has been fantastic". I took my F800S in for it's tuneup a few weeks ago. I asked them to check all the major units; rear wheel drive/hub, change oil, check the belt...

I mount my cell phone on the handlebar, but have gone through 3 phones in 6 months. Something about the vibration seems to be killing the camera. I only put it up there so I can use GPS. Problem is if I don't put it in the cell phone holder, the holder vibrates so loud it annoys me. So I put my...

Hi Everyone I currently ride a CBR1100XX Blackbird and have really enjoyed my two year ownership but I feel like I want to put the fun back into my riding and also that the blackbird is a bit heavy for me. I went to Pidcock BMW yesterday in Long Eaton near Derby and had a test ride on their...

Hi all Just a quick hello to everyone. After over 20 years of riding Japanese, I've defected to German with the purchase of an F800ST. Found this very useful forum after discovering my hands and wrists don't suit this bike at all... [sure] Nearly put it up for sale within 20 minutes of riding...

Hi all, I'm a relatively new f800gs owner. I bought it at ~7300km and it now has ~8800km. When I first got it, I noticed that vibrations would increase significantly about 4500rpm or so. After riding it for several weeks, I notice that if I run it in the upper third of the RPM range (6000 -...

Hello, I have a 2009 F800GS and it has what I consider a very bad vibration problem and I am looking for information from other F800GS (only) riders about whether or not their bike does what mine does. I would ask that you look at http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=572992 and if...

Having experienced an increase in vibration around a 1000 miles after my engine rebuild for piston slap I've noticed a number of other, post rebuild owners, commenting that they have the same vibration issues some miles after the rebuild work. So another poll to determine numbers: Please...
