BMW R NINE T
The BMW R Nine T offers a unique urban custom vibe, with iconic looks and sounds. The R Nine T comes with all the standard BMW tech:
- BMW Motorrad ABS Pro
- Dynamic Brake Light
- LED Headlight, Taillight and Indicators, Comfort Turn Indicators
- USB Charging Interface
- Riding Modes
- Daytime Riding Light
The current R Nine T is euro 5 compliant and boasts their latest 1,170cc boxer engine with a claimed 109hp at the crank. BMW also offer a scrambler variant with spoked rims and different paint schemes. Important things to note is that the scrambler variant is a few kg heavier, so if weight is a concern. Than the standard R nine T is the best option and if you pair this with an aftermarket exhaust such as an Akrapovic you can save up to 2kg.
We find that these bikes have decent fork set up from factory, but their shocks need to be replaced. We have find that Wilbers replacement shocks are a match better fit leading to more comfort and better handling. . But don't stress with the correct set up from our Platinum technicians. You will find the ride more comfortable and more responsive through the twisties .
Tuning : in our experience of these bikes we find that the stock tune is a common story with the majority of modern road bikes. As emission controls are getting tighter throughout the world. This is greatly impacting fuel maps that manufacturers are legally allowed to run. With such tight regulations manufactures are running their bikes excessively lean at idle and low to mid range. Causing snatchy throttles , excessive heat and power loss. Our custom tunes will get your bike running more efficiently, improved power response, smooth throttle and running cooler in those hot summer days.
BMW recommends a General service / Log book service every 10K and a Major every 30k.
We find that for most road use these services are too far apart. And can lead to unwanted and expensive maintenance in the future. Usually after the warranty period has just ended. Here at Platinum Motorcycles we highly recommend a General service every 5k or every year whichever comes first.
We at Platinum Motorcycles Melbourne love having these bikes in our workshop.
