    Engine Braking Problem

    I'm finding that my R1200RT makes a terribly non-BMW noise when I down shift from second to first at 120 kmh.

    Anyone else having the same problem?

    Sounds like the kerfuffler valve needs to be adjusted metrically clockwise.
    I didn't know one of those old boats went 120...

    They all have a tendency to do it. It's just that you didn't notice on your "company" bike 'cos it wasn't yours

    Why are you changing down so late?


    BTW - "non-BMW noise" is non-expensive noise...

    Have the MoTec guy look at the auto blipper and the amount of air bleed back into the engine to control the over rev*. What does your GPS- linked traction control tell your data guy? That and get the Ohlins guys to give it a bit less rebound damping and you might get another 1/10th second per lap out of the old girl.

    Just smash it.

    ANGRY SMASH!

    SMASH SMASH SMASH


    FUKIN SMASH THE FUKR.

    [Sigh. Pant]. There. That feels better.





    Fixed my lawnmower that way. Never played up again.

    . . . and never had to mow the lawns as a side benefit.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
