Any strange rattles or grinding? Accidentally used Goldschlager at the last oil change?

It was noisy when last I rode it, yes. That's what prompted me to change the oil early. 125k miles... I believe I've found this bike's limit.

(sigh)

Finally hardwired my trail tech vapor to the xr for power and connected the temp sensor.

Ripped out and sold the autocom from the RT and purchased a Sena unit to go wireless.

I walked past it wondering if the garage would ever get warm enough to comfortably change the rear tire for the upcoming Winter Meet.

The Angel GT, while great handling, wears for shit.

Dropped the GT off at a BMW Dealer for a service, recall notice & detailing.
