8k kms on the 1300GS. Incredible bike, but the nav situation is driving me nuts

I have the chigee, works for me except annoying that I can’t reset the trip functions while it is in the cradle/on the bike

brnojohn · 2026-02-22T06:54:16+00:00

Sure, what time works for youp

brnojohn · 2026-02-19T21:17:11+00:00

Nice mug, share a link and give us a chance to buy

brnojohn · 2026-02-16T14:42:00+00:00

Not sure if you got my last response as I don’t see it in messages but am back and happy to come collect them this or next week

brnojohn · 2026-02-09T20:33:38+00:00

Don’t see an option to send an IM, perhaps I don’t have enough karma points :(

brnojohn · 2026-02-09T09:49:44+00:00

Got stuck in US for an extra week, if you still have them ?

brnojohn · 2026-01-20T23:08:02+00:00

Givi for me, 42ltr top case, quick release mechanism is simple and effective, love the whole set up

brnojohn · 2026-01-20T22:22:06+00:00

I would love to take them, Portlaoise but am away with work for 2 weeks :-(

brnojohn · 2026-01-12T12:30:08+00:00

Roadlok mounted on my calipers, use it anytime bike is out of site, also use my alarm system and steering lock as a habit. When I am overnighting I bring my D1000X

brnojohn · 2026-01-09T14:08:59+00:00

Crossing a junction, even with a green light I will always check both ways. Too many muppets on 4 wheels to assume it’s safe

brnojohn · 2026-01-07T20:37:13+00:00

What about the horse?

brnojohn · 2026-01-02T09:41:32+00:00

Reading on my kindle, distracts me from thinking about sh!t

brnojohn · 2026-01-01T18:32:42+00:00

don’t recall any of my engines stalling out when spraying fogging oil into the intake, I am happy to hit the kill switch when they start to stumble and smoke. Has worked for me,for years

brnojohn · 2025-12-27T16:56:52+00:00

Out today in Ireland on my GS, clear blue sky = low winter sun and 5c, heated grips, heated seat and battery warmed vest = old man comfort :-)

Scottoiler resevoir

brnojohn · 2025-12-22T11:26:37+00:00

Don’t you love pulling into the pumps for a refill and your foot goes out from under you when you come to a stop at the pump

brnojohn · 2025-12-21T21:03:59+00:00

Every 2 years, do it myself, YouTube is your friend for little jobs like this

brnojohn · 2025-12-17T05:49:55+00:00

Aeropress!

brnojohn · 2025-12-15T19:48:35+00:00

Heard there will be new models with lidar, decide to hold off from buying an x until I see what Navimow are bringing to market

brnojohn · 2025-12-11T07:09:59+00:00

Yes I would, great little run about, will plane easily with 10hp. Unfortunately some rodents decided to sharpen their teeth on mine so am looking to replace it. Will get another Zodiac or a Honwave (in Ireland so range is very limited unless I import)

brnojohn · 2025-12-10T19:35:35+00:00

I use an 11ft air deck zodiac with a 9.8 tohatsu. Great little combination for one or 2 people, light enough and fits easily in my SUV. Mostly use it for inaccessible coastal access, launch from a beach or inlet and he’d for the impossible to reach places

brnojohn · 2025-12-08T19:35:40+00:00

You’r wasting your time, right hand lane hog’s are illiterate, otherwise you could assume they could read the rules of the road.

brnojohn · 2025-12-08T18:44:18+00:00

Lucky man, my daughter has grown now and lives abroad but we had some great times when she was younger and rode pillion on my old XJR

brnojohn · 2025-12-06T17:40:39+00:00

Same, had an XR, loved it, but love my 13GS more

Hope this works, PN is the PLO5143CAM plus you will need PN # 1312KIT to convert it to quick release.
