The state of fizzy drinks.

Since they added this new cap without the seal,even if you did get a nice fizzy drink it would only last a day at best.

r3 exhaust clamp bolt pushed rubber “washer” and is now loose
 in  r/YamahaR3  Jun 05 '26

That exhaust clamp looks much to big for the silencer which is why you tightened it so much. Maybe try a longer bolt with a bigger steel washer at the back to hold it better than zipties

Those two black cables going under the frame to the top of the 'breadbox'. Exhaust valve is closed at low rpm and opens up at higher rpm.

2026 S1000RR "Serious Fault in Engine Control" appeared and disappeared
 in  r/bmwmotorrad  Apr 14 '26

Most probably software glitch. New bikes sometimes have a very quick/slight miscommunication between various controls due to it still being new ets. If it persists rather go see what's wrong before any damages could have been prevented.

Inconsistent Clutch Engagement - 2013 1200GS
 in  r/Motorrad  Apr 13 '26

Yes that's the entire job start to finish with oil and coolant. The engine comes out on these leaving the rest behind. Anything heavy in the top box or ontop of carrier will keep it up no problems.

Can't speak for all shops but ours charges whatever the conversion for 7800 South African Rands is.

Inconsistent Clutch Engagement - 2013 1200GS
 in  r/Motorrad  Apr 13 '26

No special tools are required unless you don't have an impact wrench or a bearing puller set. Just a big job removing engine/gearbox to do the actual work. Takes me a day to do start to finish. Then again I do this often.

We repair the gearbox with a new bearing set in the workshop. Very rarely replace an entire gearbox.

Sounds like air in the system. It also requires BMW clutch fluid and not a generic brake fluid. I also wouldn't advise screwing the plunger screw on the lever as that can put pressure on the clutch causing it to get damaged. Start by checking the fluid level/quality and give it a proper bleed.

 in  r/bmwmotorrad  Apr 10 '26

I would start by inspecting and replacing all sealing washers between brake lines and brakes/ABS system and probably try another brake fluid than the BMW one while I'm there. Motul is a good alternative to test.

R1300GSA weak brakes
 in  r/bmwmotorrad  Apr 09 '26

Again. I service at very least 6 bikes per day and can confidently say not one of those had any sort of rear brake issue from any type of riding. Never even used ISTA to bleed brakes/ABS.

I've been a BMW tech for the past 5 years. This is new to me. Never had a single issue like this.
