Re: First one 2020
sorry boys n girls... just had a very frustrating couple of hrs. It seems BMW fit tyre valves that are too short to inflate the tyres. Sounds daft but 3 garage forecourts later and air coming out instead of in. Known issue after looking on bmw forums apparently...

Re: First one 2020
Si - you should have brought the WR along.... the road conditions were perfect for it!
Filthy bike is now clean (ish) and the new master cylinder doesn't leak
Shame the replacement TFT screen is that misty I thought I had cataracts
Cheers to Brian for organising us into a vaguely orderly fashion... with the exception of Where's Roy of course

Re: First one 2020
You missed a good ride Simon and Nick; perhaps next time.
Thanks Brian for leading, Andy as tail end charlie and the SWB riders for good day near my home town.

Re: First one 2020
Gutted to've missed this mornings ride 
Sounds like you had fun
Went to just check the tyre pressures at the garage forecourt and the nozzle opened the tyre valve but didn't seal so the air just came out, That was Sainsburys, Tesco and a Shell garage and my own foot pump.
4 out of 4, and googled it. Several forums discussing the issue. Valve body is too short basically but BMW don't recognise it as an error. Feel a trip to BMW coming on
Finally caved in to buying an electric 12v pump with a screw on nozzle, works but not carrying that with me on every ride out

Re: First one 2020
Nick, what about removing the outer and just taking the works of the air pump?
This is what I do currently.

Re: First one 2020
No idea how that would work in my little mind Roy...
It's an issue for BMW to resolve for me. They know the valves are short and cause problems but don't acknowledge it as an issue, beats me...
