Well on normal bikes they change the oil and filter, and then do some checks to see if it's bresking in properly, albeit since you ride a BMW you might be looking to replace the forks, swingarm, block, valves, pistons, rims, tires and some other minor things.

I think you are mistaken about free maintenance on your bike. BMW Motorrad doesn't offer any. Your dealership may have a special deal with you.
Also, buy one these DVDs for your particular bike. They will tell you all service to be performed at what intervals. They are worth it. They cover literally everything.

Do you think having the camera pointed at a headlight made it bad too? I wanted to see how photos looked with my lights on.

Did you use the full BD kit when you DSed your XR, or just the headlight? Did you have to upgrade the stator or anything? I'm curious because I want to get my EXC ready for street use, so I want to see how others have gone about it. I already got the plate but currently think of it as unfit for the road.

no stator changes, all LED lighting on DC power

as for taking pictures, what are you using?
you can focus on something else then pan to the headlight to get a better light balance and let the headlight bleach out.

You'll have to lean over when you stop but you will get used to it. The only problem comes when you have to put a foot down unexpectedly, especially if it's downhill.

The perfect height for a motorcycle rider is about 5'10.

Agreed?

originally it was AC, no diagrams yet.
for wiring i cut the regulator out and put a generic 12v rectifier on it, my wiring uses a keyed ignition that grounds the ignition and breaks the battery connection from the rest of the bike.
i did use the frame as a ground as opposed to doing a floating ground.

never had power issues even with the halogen bulb in the headlight.
what all does your bike have electrically as of now? i might be able to tell you how much wiring you need to alter vs just add in
>>
>>14193915
Factory wiring shown here: >>14193535

I want keyed ignition. I figured I could just run the stop switch through the key, but the switch must be open to cut the ignition. Also want 12v lighting controlled by key, and I'll need a brake light switch.

Just posted last night about getting a supermoto of sorts last night, and an anon suggested a KTM 690 SMC. I will be picking up something either tomorrow, or sometime this weekend, and came across a couple choices.
Came across pic related, went and looked at it today, seems very clean. But I wanted to make sure, if anyone else had any experience with them.. Going to be used for single track on weekends, as well as occasionally driving it to work (30 mile commute to, 30 mile from) probably 1 or 2 times a week. How will this do for me?

My I was originally looking at a WR450, but don't seem to see any except brand new at dealerships.

Also is it possible to get knobbies for a SMC 690?

get a power/ignition keyswitch one set of contacts closes and one opens when you turn the key so the stop button just gets wired to the closed contacts when off.
all you have left to do to be legal is signals which just needs to piggyback on the taillight circuit, use LEDS and you dont need to worry about amp draw issues, but you need an LED relay so they'll flash

you already have a battery, rectifier and lights so you likely have a +120w stator which will handle at least a full power head and tail light in halogen while still charging.

the XR has like 5 wires total in it from the factory and i cut out 4 of them to build it
>>
>>14193983
690 probably won't be the best tool to do single track on, but depends if you're willing to live with a 350 or 450 on the road.
>>
>>14193983
I think what you pictured is a 690SM, not a 690SMC. I'm not sure of the exact differences between the two, but I think the SMC is based on the 690 Enduro, while the SM looks more like the Duke.

I'm not sure the SM would do so great on trails.

little harder with phones, but if you can set exposure, change it down a step, if it lets you focus and set light balance before shooting like the 2 stage button on a camera does, focus in a bright spot then pan to your target

Yeah, I messed up, not super familiar with KTM's at all for that matter, looked at craigscunt after someone suggested the 690, came across pic related, and loved it, only to realize it was a duke, and a good call for offroad

>>14194015
I'm not too worried about the turn signals actually. I can just do hand signals. I'll try to find a key switch like the one you said.

The headlight is the main concern to me since I can barely see it during the day (>muh visibility) and can't see shit with it at night. Plus it would be nice if I could keep the lights on without the engine running. For DC lighting I suppose I would run wires from battery+ > keyswitch > lights > ground?
Anyway I might have to change/rewind the stator because I read somewhere that the original stator on these KTMs is meant to divert its power to the AC lights, so it will struggle to charge the battery and the DC lights. I'll see about that.

>>14194032

I'm conflicted because JW Red and Black is still good, but when shit like Glen and Oban (expensive tho) exist, I have a hard time going back to blended. JW has a hit and miss cycle, some times it's good, other times it goes down like Southern Comfort mixed with Barton's.

I'd rather not another ban for supposed off topic conversation (that only took nearly four fucking years), so can I get by replacing the clutch in my GS1100 with cork plates? I've never done a bike clutch before, nor am I a fan of organic material for friction application (however, this is a wet application), but this shit is expensive for the type of distance riding I want to accomplish with a thick bitch, it's not going to be raced.

>nor am I a fan of organic material for friction application
Any particular reason for this? Just curious.

You had to get re-certified for the guard? Inprocessing is never any fun. You got the DR back I hope?

I have the DR still. I just need to put it into storage, since my buddy and his wife need the space it was occupying to put a new fridge for their upcoming kitchen remodel. The re-cert was pretty basic. I didn't lose my aircraft qual, just the cert that allows you to hack the mish. Finally got my pay straightened out. They have one more thing to fix then I'll be getting paid normally.
