"Mild cyclic resonance on steady throttle" is the perfect description for what I have always had on my 2006 R1200S. I stripped and rebuilt the swing arm etc a few weeks ago as water had got in through one of the rubber boots and all bearings and drive shaft joints are in perfect condition....

It sounds like theres notthing remarkable about my dismal MPG just that I'm at the bottom end of the scale. I may return to the idea if removing the PCIII reconnecting the lambar sensors and asking Mr Hilltop if he can fit me in for a consultation. Having said that I went for a spin on the Tuono las...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm realising this is probably 'normal' for the set up I have.

R1200S MPG ?

I've mainly had GS's before and picked up a 06 R1200S sport last year. I didn't really gel with it at first but in the last weeks after a new set of 023's and a bit of suspension clicking I'm liking it more and more. What I am puzzled with is the MPG. I'm getting a consistent 38 to the gallon which ...

The Stop & Go mushroom system is very easy to use. I plugged a nail hole on the centre of a Pirelli Corsa on the rear of my R1200S last year and rode a further 1,000 miles before the tyre finally wore out. Never lost a single psi.
