Because it does !

The 2010 motors take 3.2 litres of oil (or 3.3 quarts) with a filter change - earlier models took 2.6 litres (2.7 quarts) ...

Are you getting a new motor ?

If so then remember that the 2010 engines take more oil than previous years ...

I have considered using this -

but I want to do a little more investigation into it first - it will be a winter job.

I wonder if it could be a combination of the wheel bearings and spacer ? If the axle had at some point been over tightened then it could have compressed the spacer, and now if the bearings are worn...

Always use the killswitch to switch off the engine and when parked up, don't just use the key - there was a parasitic drain on the battery attributed to the IC software on 2008 models. Using the...

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean that the wheel isn't damaged (buckled) - you may have hit a pothole or such like.

I would get the wheel properly checked to make sure that is is true and...

Also check the wiring loom where it goes through the fairing frame - there is not a lot of spare wiring there and has been known to chafe.

And aftermarket LED signals can be a pain to fit if you don't get the resistance right ...

I reckon that would look even better with an XB Lightning seat ...

Ilmberger ?

It's quite a common problem on the 1125s for the rear brake caliper to seize - I know that others have replaced it with a Brembo item, all it needs is to be shimmed out with a washer. And the stock...

With a little luck, some of the parts from the new EBRs will be interchangable with the 1125s ...

... I really hope so anyway ! If I can just get the 1190RS style seat and subframe to fit then...

You can buy the Typhon body parts - just need to source/fabricate the seat support plates -

I have considered putting mine near the cooler as well, and was also considering using an XB oil cooler scoop to channel the air over it - if I can get it to fit.
...

IIRC in France all bikes are limited to 100 bhp - it may be worth asking EBR if they can provide an ECM with a french spec map ...

I'd stick it in a tuber frame, or have a tuber type bike built ...

Add on two more from the UK - a 2008 R and a 2010 CR, both black and both mine !

What can I say, I'm greedy !

I think that it's quite common - both of my 1125s are like that - more gap between the frame and the pod on the left hand side - probably a design "feature".

Where did you read that the belt is directional ? Can't find any mention of it in the manual.

For the CR -

I own both - a 2008 R and a 2010 CR - bought the CR for the lower gearing and higher bars, also added Uly pegs for a little extra leg room, it's much better for commuting, the R is better for longer...
