Let me ask you something. What exactly is the difference or benefit of having 2 ways to start the 450. i.e. full beam/flasher then starter or just starter. Is the full beam/flasher option better...

you still need the service CD? i could burn one and send it to you, no need for any payment

My mirrors keep changing angles while driving. where is the tightening adjustment located. I'm not talking about the mirror stem adjustment but the mirror head (the round bit holding the glass). I...

When is bmw themselves going to address this. Its dangerous and almost on a hair trigger. Add to that the no ignition key, makes the 450 the most easily stealable bike on the planet. If i knew this...

Hi Burny.
I'm a 450 owner here in beirut. The whole country is like being off road - city, highway, towns, villages. Its almost a natural on/off road terrain which is why i bought my 450. Before...

OK. My Honda XR 250 has a choke, so does my KTM 640 enduro, even my mercedes S500 but not the G450X. Anyone can explain this and if there is anything built in. On the same subject, how long does...

thanks for that, look into it. i agree on the neutral being hard to find and assumed BMW have decided that we don't need neutral until we are stationary which is easy to find. Was your chain the...

i asked my mechanic the same question and he said i can remove one spring. I never tried it just got used to it but do worry that someone might try to move the bike and drop it.

... is it just me or is this common with the G450X 2010. Starting the bike and putting into 1st is like dropping a brick. Riding and changing at certain speds and with varying degrees of clutch...
