my BMW R1200GS...

after picking up my newly acquired used BMW R1200GS 2008 in Nov 2009. i immediately took it to attend a Staff Dinner @ Sepang Gold Coast. halfway there, GS was jerking as if fuel starvation but still able to cruise along... a few KMs later, she decided to give up and i rolled to a halt... at Bangi-Sepang highway.


i waited for 15mins before attempting to restart her which failed too & its already dark... a few calls to colleagues & the SC at AB, arrangements were made to send GS back to AB Glenmarie. 2 hours later, a truck came to "rescue" GS while my colleagues came (after dinner) to rescue me!!


after diagnostic, i was told that the relay for the fuel pump has failed. further explanation on the probable cause is "storage".. it was replaced and bike was out of workshop 1 week later and no charge (including truck pick up) as it was under warranty.


a quick visit to Wunderlich proved to be expensive!! Akrapovic exhaust, vario panniers, lower protection bar, fork savers, brake-line protector, cruise control, bigfoot stand & BMW riding gears!!! Zumo 550 was installed.


blue wasnt my favorite color for GS but since i bought it used, i had plans for her to be coated in my fav Alpine White (which BMW later announced for 2010 prod, argh!!)


She has since evolved into what she is today with additional of... Alpine White color, Sargent seat, foglights, LED day running lights, Adventure panniers, front mudflap extender, rear splashguard, topbox (rear seat replacement), Zumo 660, slim tank bag, 3M headlamp protector, front beak extension and lots of stickers on panniers.


Now... i just need a pair of new foglights and black wheels, that will "complete" my GS. :)

not how she looks now but close..
