performance
By (I am an Owner) on Aug 13, 2009Has anyone out there had engine performance problems with the 2009 Adventurer . My bike's engine seems to labour when under load . For example your in 3rd or 4th gear , open the throttle going up hill and it sounds like your in the wrong gear , it labour's.The engine is pinking quite alot as well. ... I'm using 98 grade fuel. I have had other riders have a go and they all agree. B.M.W workshop have looked at the bike and say there is no problems!

BMW's Swiss Army Knife on Two Wheels
By (I am an Owner) on Jul 16, 2009My first Beemer needed to provide long-distance riding legs, all-day comfort, performance and the "what if I go down THAT road...?" possibility. It does all of that and more (at least once the stock built in torture rack called a "seat" is removed and in this case replaced with a Sargent!!!).
This ... adventure came to me with driving lights, adjustable front/rear suspension, traction control, ABS, on-board computer, tire-pressure monitoring, tubeless spoked wheels (very well done BMW) adjustable windshield that does surprisingly well, almost 9 gallon gas tank, Metzler Tourance tires and the entire luggage system which I proved holds up to rusty off road-riding skills as I promptly placed it on its side within my firt 800 miles last week...didn't phase the bike or the panniers except for minor scuff (which happens on dirt, yes?)
This bike truly deserves, in my opinion, the badge of the Best Motorcycle in the World! You should buy one...now. Go, stop reading this and see BMW. See you on the road.
