Is a motorbike shop serving my motorbike ripping me off? It is a BMW K1100LT motorbike? I have a BMW K1100LT motorbike. The exhaust had to be changed and the bike shop took the exuast off and all 8 bolts where the exuast comes out of the side of the engine snapped off. The shop said they would have to be drilled out. The next thing they said they had to take the top half of the engine off to get to them. Did they have to do this or are they just ripping me off or just do not know what they are doing?

How can I spin my motorbike 360 deg on stand? I have just bought a K100 BMW real heavy beast and I find I cant turn it around in my drive. Can anyone tell me the nack of spinning a bike around on the stand. Cheers SteveH
Can you ride a motorbike in Spain on a provisional (125cc) licence? We're looking at a trip to Mallorca to take in some mountains in the low season...only trouble is, we've both got CBTs (plus full car licences), so restricted to 125cc or less (depending on power rating) in this country. We've found bike hire places which can offer us 125s, but also BMW 650s, which sound fun, if potentially suicidal...Can anyone advise on what we can ride? Thanks for the advice - I also ride an Aprilia Pegaso 650 around the back roads, so appreciate that big bikes can be quite scary - the first time swapping from a 125 to the Aprilia left me gasping for breath. Thanks for the advice, tho - I do appreciate it!

Decreasing power in a motorbike engine. Okay it sounds silly i know.? But i don't wana get to 100kmp/h (60mp/h ish) in 3 seconds. It's a bmw r1200 and a lovely bike. but..... it's to fast. I don't understand mechanics and all i thought was that it could be dangerous to do this but then i though for a few grand it probably could be done. I would wait till engine is out of warranty so as to not void it. thanks everyone. Hi, thanks for answers so far, they make sense even to me. The problem with a new bike is i simply love this beemer. And I got it v cheap from a relative and I am a very competent rider (12 years or more on the saddle) though keeping in mind this is the fastest or one of the fastest production bikes i'd just like to slow it a little.
