A bit more information would be useful. Do you ride with pillion or alone? How much luggage do you need to carry, do you go camping or B&B/hotels?

Being a Dutch guy, I can help you out. "The Netherlands" is the official name for our little country. The full name is even "Kingdom of the Netherlands". Though "Holland" is a part of The Netherlands...

Your satnav has stored the triplog, which you can read out with Basecamp. If you can open the triplog, you can see all the data. Check where the recorded speed suddenly drops to 0. If you have a...

A curious article, I doubt if this is valid for our modern engines. My F800GT starts almost immediately after hitting the start button, both warm and cold. Needs half a second or less. How many dead...

I did not know, and I don't care. The F800GT is my sixth BMW in 35 yrs., never had a standstill or a dealer visit due to quality issues..

You are talking about the round 10-pin diagnostic connector, right?
As far as I know, these are all the same for the BMW models with this round connector.
For connecting an OBDII diagnostic tool,...

I just downloaded the 2018 sales figures of motorcycles here in the Netherlands:
The big runner for BMW is the R1200GS (of course), followed by the R1200RT, together more than 75% of BMW Motorrad...

Why send the same message four (!) times...???

Rolling coal.... and do they realise how many deaths can be attrributed to air pollution?
Such behaviour is considered a criminal offense in our part of the world, and rightfully so!

Who decided to put on this ugly looking windscreen? It may not have been designed in Italy, but without this screen it looks a whole lot prettier!

That's so very true!
Sad statistics: This year already more than 11,000 people are killed by firearms in the USA! Suicides not counted.

Rated by the number of inhabitants, this number is more...

Belgian beer: La Chouffe
And of course German Weissbier or Weizenbier: Franciskaner or Erdinger Urweisse

why wouldn't it work on a F800S? Engine and engine management are almost the same...

The only correct unit for torque is Nm (Newton-meter)!! [:D]

The TPMS will issue a warning when the pressure of either one of the tires will drop below a certain value, no need to wait for a lunch stop....

My GT is only for leisure (maybe once or twice a year used for commuting).

I'm one of the lucky people who are able to commute by bicycle. No traffic jams!

This does not calculate torque and HP, only acceleration.

A paid-for app (quite expensive!) which still uses very crude assumptions for "calculating" engine torque and HP? Not something I will spend my money for.....

Real-time acceleration figures are...

My daily commute:
254969

And on Sundays:
254977

No problems at this end...

In fact, this story is only about bad communication before the ride and bad preparation. A misleading title of this post, as it does not cover the ride itself.

Not very likely. If you just replace the coolant, the max. temperature will not change. It is determined by the thermostat in the radiator circuit.

Not officially, of course [:D] But you can load the 595 firmware in the 590, en then it behaves like a 595 including options like Spotify, which are not possible withe the 590. Hardware of the two...

I have a Zumo 590, recently upgraded to 595 firmware. Great product. I have been using Garmin bike-specific GPS's for more than 14 years now.
If you are new to the GPS world, you might also...

Why repeat the same message three times :confused::confused::confused:
