Sounds good Craig, I'll keep an eye out for the badgering attack and join in! Hi Stuart, I got a phone call from ORS just last week to say that the bike event is cancelled now and that they would process a refund, lack of interest apparently. Shame, I was really looking forward to it. Might be worth...

Just a quick update to wrap this thread up, thankfully it turned out it was the slave cylinder - fitted it up, built pressure on the line almost immediately then just bled the system and I was away. Seems they are a relatively common failure on the 1200GS's from what other people have said, all sort...

I've got a pair of draggin jeans I've been around europe in twice and ive always been happy with the comfort but they do seem to come up a bit short in the crotch which might explain why they wear quicker there and the colour in my pair (black) faded really quickly after a shower or two out riding, ...

Thanks for your responses, I think the original suspicions of the slave cyl were right. Having whipped it off it seems gunked up and looks as though the clutch fluid is pushing past the cylinder seals as you say knobblywobbly. Cheers for the link craig, looks like more of a job on the 1150! Its a do...

Bike looks cracking, love that colour scheme on all of the GS range! I bought (and subsequently sold back two years later at a fair price) a lovely bike from steve a few years ago and have used them for servicing/MOT's since and your right, they are a really approachable bunch - no pressure sales te...

Hi All, Having missed out on last sunday's cotswolds ride out due to a mysterious clutch failure I have since set about sussing out what's up with it and have come to some sort of a conclusion, just wondered if any other tinkerers on here might be able to offer a nod or shake to confirm/dispell my f...

Looks like a brilliant day's riding - Gutted i couldn't make it. Had intended to but having checked the bike over on saturday I seem to have some sort of failure on my clutch actuation since the thursday before when i rode it last! (?) I'd love to tag along if anyone does arrange a repeat or similar...

Sounds good, count me in.

Will I be alright on tourances on a 1200GS on the planned route?

Wouldn't worry about holding people up (or me at least!) might have a bigger bike but it'll still be limited by the fact ill be perched atop it! hope the weather is as good then as it is now should be a good afternoon. might actually get my beloved GS muddy otherwise lol be the dirtiest its been in ...

I'm up for this, free that sunday too. I know studley fairly well, well i know where it is anyway ha! nahh I've been through quite a few times as i do my gas training local to there and have worked around there too. Horse and Jockey seems to make sense, on the way on the A435 I guess. think you can ...
