I have a similar issue currently. I'm investigaing the head bearings. I think that's the root cause. Everything else has been ticked off the list. Perhaps, this bike just allows that shuddering to start a bit earlier in the failure process? Will be doing that in the next few weeks.

Hi, and welcome. You happen to have any audio/video of this idling thing? These bikes make a bit of noise, but this sounds like something suspect. Does it do it when in Neutral? Unfortunately, I don't know much about the DCT, so won't be much help on those questions.

Just beautifully done.

I'm starting to put together the list of things to do in Jan/Feb... but it all might be punted depending on money... I made a deal on a super-secret project for spring, and need to throw spare cash at that so I can get it in May. 🙂 In fact, the 1200 improvements may be put off to 2024, depending on how the new machine is after I get it home. In the mean-time, I've been fettling with a BMW R1100R I picked up. These bavarian machines are hilariously weird.

I've finally gotten the suspension dialed in. Will start ordering parts soon for this winter update. Looking at an LSL or Helibar swap and getting back into the top end of the engine. Heated grips will be happening, as well as an install for a GPS setup. Had a great ride the other day with a fellow on a very nice multistrada. The Roadsport 2's are wearing remarkably well. For the money, I am hugely impressed. Traction thus far is quite good, and feedback is fantastic.

Good for you getting it to fire first time. That noise is familiar on my 2010, though my bike may not be as loud. As you noted, they are typically buried under plastics/tank/etc... on the standard bike. At this point I'd say "works as intended".

I have a set of Road Smarts waiting to be spooned on. Curious about grip now that I've seen this. Have loved the Road Sports so far, wearing very well.

Cancelled! Next time!

I've had some personal things come up preventing my being there, and it looks like attendance would be about 3 people in total. Calling it off.

Hahaha, is this seriously only going to be 3 people?

Also, heads up in UK. Looks to be paint code r342c. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255668667767?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3NBl_CX-S4a&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=mifTwA_JS0m&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Not all heroes wear capes.

Yessir

Please post here if you're planning on attending.

Easily 14 hours!

Alright all, Looks like the Super 8 in Harrison Arkansas will be ground zero. They are currently at 25% occupancy for these days. I have not been able to get a straight answer on a block of rooms reserved, so it's up to you! I'm finding rates at $77/day pretty common. Suggest you book soon. I'll be arriving a bit early in order to burn up some tires. Cheers and see you in a few weeks.

Central coast of... where? Remember, this is a global site. 😉

Oh, nice to see this back in the works. Following!

Short answer, yes. But not as much as you may imagine. Panniers not much difference, but can feel top box a bit.

Just did the same for here in the Appalachian mountains. Raw video, but shows where the positioning would be without the "fish eye" wide angle. https://youtu.be/geDts60ZC64

Good stuff! Black marks in the turns are a real thing on these 1200s. Haha!

OK, well, since nobody is saying "NO" on the Super 8, I'll call them today and see about a block of rooms at a discount.
