    I thought I would share a word to the wise with you. Last year, September actually, I came back from a nice few weeks away in my motorhome. I parked it on my drive and started clearing things off as one does, along with other checks around the vehicle. This is when I noticed a dent in the...

    I've just discovered something (for me anyway). If you click on your location it takes you to Google Maps. How's that for clever...

    Hey guys[:D]. It's thanks to this forum I decided to buy the F800ST. As it was a bit of an emotional buy there are some things wrong with it. Mostly the lack of care from it's original UK owner as a lot of the bike is covered in rust. Anyway, it's a 2006 bike with 70k km on it, blue color (...

    I just know that I am gonna feel stupid with this one, BUT I've just noticed that the rear tyre valve on my ST is on the near side (L/H side) but on the front its on the offside (R/H side) and I don't remember having this problem, and as I've recently had new tyres fitted, it has me thinking...

    I mounted a new Cee Baileys 26 inch touring windshield on my 09 ST and noticed a lot of windshield flex at speed. It seems the three screw mount is barely adequate for a tall windshield. I found some flat plastic covered steel brackets in my junk collection and made supports for the windshield...

    Hello all, I'm chuffed to bits to have taken delivery of a 2013 F800GT in the fetching Valencia Orange yesterday. I think of myself as a relative newbie to bikes. I started riding scooters (Hexagon, X8 250) at the ripe old age of 43 back in 2000 as an expedient solution to commuting, and very...

    When I am riding my FGT I get a nod or wave from most other bikers. I give a nod or wave to other riders regardless of what they are riding, including learners. However if it's an HD, I wait to see if they nod first, as they often ignore me if I nod first. When riding the T max, my nods are...

    Hi fellow riders, I've just purchased a nice 2007 Sunset Yellow F800S, here in Quebec City, Canada. I should probably not be able to ride it until a couple of months (lot of snow this winter [xx(]), but I'm sure I made the right choice. After several other motorcycles, from mono (XR650L) to I4...

    Had some extra LED rear lights installed the other day following my recent 'off'. Picture1 is just the rear lights Picture2 with the brake light showing as well I'm not ecstatic about their position, they're bright enough but I feel they could be located ideally a bit wider than the number...

    Just picked up my new 2016 white f800gt! Love it. Hard to keep it under 5k for break in, but doing my best. Mine came with the standard seat, and it's a little tall for me. If anyone wants to trade their low seat for my standard, pm me.

    So one year ago yesterday I bought my F800GT. It was a 2014 with 1,500 miles; now I have a little over 11,500 miles on it. Unfortunately nearly all of those miles have been commute miles [:(] I might have had another 1k miles, but I broke a bone in my foot in December that cut back on my...

    Hi All, have y'all noticed how well organised a motorcycle rider has to be before setting off for a journey by motorcycle? Especially in winter! The warm layers, correct safe riding gear, ear plugs, machine readiness, tyre pressures etc. all demand a high level of awareness by the rider. A level...

    Located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada Just picked up a 2007 F800ST with an insanely low mileage count on it (6300km). Looking forward to logging many miles and sharing adventures. Great to join this community. Chris
