Does your BMW R-Series need a service? Stuck at home or unable to get to a dealer? No problem, the UK’s no.1 for BMW motorcycle accessories, Nippy Normans, has a range of home service kits.
Tailored for each model, the kits come with everything needed to service R-Series boxer twins – taking the guesswork out of choosing the right parts. Owners can choose kits with or without oil.
All parts are from OE suppliers – Mahle air and oil filters, NGK spark plugs – and the lubricants are from Silkolene and Castrol, in the BMW recommended grades to remove guesswork.
Every kit is supplied with the necessary washers and O-rings.
Service Kits for the latest 1250cc models sell for £118.46 (including oil) or £67.80 (without oil).
Kits for 1200cc air and liquid cooled variants, F series bikes and the K1600 are available too.

With development completed in January, Akrapovič has launched a fully racing-oriented Evolution Line Kit (Titanium)* exhaust system for the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade that uses the HRC Race Kit and has been developed at the recommendation of the R&D department of Honda Motor Corporation.
The Evolution Line Kit (Titanium) is aimed directly at racing teams and riders using the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade on the track and under competition regulations, and it has been developed exclusively for use with Honda’s latest track-focused motorcycle. The full system, with its race-inspired design, featuring a relief-imprinted muffler, is specifically adapted to meet the exacting demands of racing. The routing, diameters, positioning, and all specifications of design are solely designed for the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, an expertise that Akrapovič provides through the entire manufacturing process.
Constructed entirely from low-weight titanium alloys, with complex parts cast in Akrapovič’s in-house titanium foundry – the only one found anywhere in the world in an exhaust manufacturers’ premises – the Evolution Line Kit (Titanium) is a totally bespoke system and displays an attention to detail that is seldom seen on an aftermarket product for a race-bred motorcycle. Each part of the four headers that connect the system to the engine is cast in the foundry and formed to achieve an optimum configuration, ensuring that the fitment is perfect. This devotion and the use of state-of-the-art lightweight materials means the system weighs less than 5 kg. Optimal performance is achieved because the system delivers a perfect throttle response right through the rev range for the 1,000 cc engine.
The relationship between Akrapovič and Honda Motor Corporation has resulted in the Slovenian exhaust specialist becoming the official manufacturer and supplier of the exhaust for the new 2020 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade. In addition, the R&D department of Honda Motor Corporation recommends the Evolution Line Kit (Titanium) exhaust for the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade with the official HRC Race Kit.

Wemoto stocks a wide range of Simota air filters for popular commuter, trail, adventure, sport and touring motorcycles. Replacing a bike’s original filter with a Simota air filter can provide an increase of two to seven horsepower.
Washable and reusable, Simota air filters are claimed to last the life of the bike, all the while providing the best in breathability and filtration.
While paper air filters rely on small holes in the fibre to block particles, Simota uses sticky oil cotton. This allows for better airflow to take place, while the cotton’s pleated design increases the surface area for maximum filtration. They are also lightweight and heat resistant for up to 140 degrees centigrade.
Each filter comes with full cleaning instructions as well as a manufacturer’s warranty of 100,000km.
Recent additions include fitments for various BMW R1200 models at an RRP of £37.73 and Honda GL1500 Goldwing models at an RRP of £48.79
Skidmarx have added race screens for the latest generation Ducati Panigale V4, Yamaha R1 and BMW S1000 RR to their range.
Based on screens used by 2019 BSB Champ Scott Redding and road racing superstar James Hillier at the TT and NW200, Skidmarx racing screens are manufactured in the UK from 2mm cast acrylic, which is 33% lighter than the material used for road bikes.
The thinner design not only saves weight but also offers better optical clarity than road-going screens – crucial for short circuit and road racing, where riders spend a large proportion of every lap tucked in behind the screen.
Skidmarx Race Screens are available in Standard (superstock), Double Bubble/Tall and 2-Piece TT Tall versions. Skidmarx also offer a made-to-measure service for riders with specific requirements.
Screens can be supplied pre-drilled with 6mm diameter holes, so they can be fitted to standard fairings using race fixings, or undrilled to allow custom fitting to race fairings.
Ideal for competition and track day use, prices for Skidmarx race screens start from £49.95 for standard screens; taller and double bubble screens from £59.95 and extra large TT Tall screens are £64.95, all including VAT.
The three new versions fit the 2018-on Ducati Panigale V4 and V4 S, Yamaha R1 2020 models, and 2019-on versions of BMW’s S1000 RR. Screens are also available for older models.

Last lap time and the predicted time
Best lap time and predicted time
Last lap time and predicted difference
Best lap time and predicted difference
In addition to this, the lap number and session time are also always on display. For those riders who are active on the all-new HM Cloud analysis system, when the USB Flash Drive from the Stand Alone Lap Timer is plugged into a computer, it will automatically synchronise all your data with the cloud. At the same time, the Lap Timer will update itself to ensure it is running the latest firmware.
Coming with a long-life rechargeable battery, the Stand Alone Lap Timer is available now from http://hmquickshifter.com/ and costs £300. For more information on the HM Cloud, visit www.hmdash.com.
Venhill have developed a Featherlight clutch cable for Royal Enfield’s new 650 Interceptor – offering owners of the best-selling parallel twin a lighter, smoother, longer-lasting experience, for a modest outlay
Designed and made in the British motorcycle control specialists’ factory, the Featherlight cable provides a lighter, smoother action, improved feel, and increased durability compared to the OE version.
Each one features Venhill’s high quality Featherlight cabling: marine-grade stainless steel inner wire that resists stretching and a ‘teflon’ liner, for minimum friction and a lighter action. It also removes the need for lubrication.
The cables are all ‘Bird-caged’ – a special process applied to the end of the inner cable wire, which allows solder to penetrate the weave of the cable, making the bond with the nipple much stronger, while adding extra strength and durability. The process significantly reduces the risk of cable breakage when put under repeated stress and pressure.
Venhill cables are a straight swap with the originals for ease of fitment – so there’s no need for any modifications.
The Featherlight clutch cable retails at £24.14 (incl. VAT) and is available in Black, Blue, Green, Grey, Orange, Red and Yellow. It fits all models of the 650 Interceptor (2019 on).

Discreet, lightweight and easy to fit, Wunderlich Xtreme Cylinder Head Protectors shield the 1250cc BMW Boxer twin’s vulnerable valve covers against costly and unsightly damage.
As many R-series BMW owners will know, the Boxer engine’s exposed valve and spark plug covers are constantly at risk of damage from stones, dirt and other debris thrown up from the road or trail.
Made from a tough, impact-resistant and durable plastic, Wunderlich’s Xtreme Cylinder Head Protectors act as a barrier against flying debris and provide an extra defence against scratches caused by static and low speed tumbles.
Each cover is contoured specially to wrap around each cylinder head, covering 85% of the surface, and is designed not to protrude or snag on branches and other undergrowth.
They fix directly to each head – no complex fitting kits or modifications needed, add minimal weight, and are styled to match the latest generation R-series’ styling. Since they’re plastic, they’re also corrosion-free.
The Protectors can be used on their own or fitted alongside engine bars for complete protection, and they are easy to remove for maintenance.
Wunderlich Xtreme Cylinder Head Protectors cost £199.00 per pair (including VAT) – a fraction of the cost of a replacement rocker cover – and are available exclusively through the UK’s no.1 for BMW motorcycle accessories, www.nippynormans.com
They fit the following models: R 1250 GS and Adventure, R 1250 R, R 1250 RS and R 1250 RT. They are compatible with the original BMW engine bars.
Skidmarx have introduced a selection of taller and wider screens for BMW’s best-selling R 1250 GS adventure sport bike.
Made in the British motorcycle bodywork specialists’ Weymouth factory, using 4mm cast acrylic, the tall screen (pictured above) measures 43cm high by 41cm wide, which is 5cm (2 inches) taller than the factory-fitted screen.
For riders seeing maximum coverage, the Tall & Wide screen (below) is 48cm by 44cm, adding 10cm (4 inches) to the height and 3cm (1.2″) to its width.
Like all Skidmarx screens, they fit directly onto the original mountings, for a straightforward job – no drilling or cutting, and no fiddly brackets or fixing kits.
Available in clear, light and dark tints, the Tall screen retails at £79.95 including VAT; the Tall & Wide screen is £84.95.
There is also a standard size version, in clear, light and dark tints, priced at £74.95.
The R 1250 GS screens can be fitted to the R 1200 GS (2013 on) as well as the 1250 model.

HM Quickshifter Set To Revolutionise Racing And Trackday Experience With HM Cloud Data Analysis
HM Quickshifter is set to revolutionise the trackday and racer market with the launch of the high-tech HM Cloud. The Cloud will allow riders to connect their HM M3 Dash (and other HM logging products) and see full data analysis from each session, revealing RPM, throttle position, brake pressure and much more. The system will also allow riders to compare and overlay their track information and lap times with friends and fellow riders around the world through a web browser.
Every year, thousands of motorcyclists across the globe take part in trackdays and competitive events, eager to improve their skills and lap times. HM Quickshifter products have been the go-to solution for top racers and riders alike and now the UK-based company is set to transform the trackday and racing market with its revolutionary new HM Cloud.
HM Quickshifter has a strong heritage of working with race teams around the world and most recently they have partnered with No Limits Racing, helping their large base of grassroots racers develop their skills further.
The new online platform connects with the company’s leading M3 Dash and unlocks a level of data analysis that has never before been available for regular riders. The MotoGP-style of data provides riders in-depth oversight of each session lap by lap, revealing everything needed to improve their performance. With the dash connecting directly to the ECU, the Cloud is able to show;
Throttle Position throughout the lap
Front and Rear Brake Pressure (with optional brake pressure sensors)
Front and Rear Wheel Speed
Gear
RPM
Power Mode
Traction Control
Speed
Temperature
Full ECU parameters like fault codes, lean angle, APS, TPS etc
Overlaid on the track map, riders are able to pinpoint the exact differences between each lap; allowing them to work on their performance and reduce lap times. Currently, there are 38 tracks uploaded to the HM Cloud including UK circuits such as Anglesey, Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park, Castle Combe, Croft, Donington Park, Knockhill, Mallory Park, Oulton Park, Pembry, Silverstone, Snetterton and Thruxton. Alongside that, famous circuits around the world such as Almeria, Assen, Daytona, Guadix, Jerez, Misano, Mugello, Phillip Island and Valencia. This list is growing all of the time, but most importantly, the HM Dash will still work perfectly even if the track is not listed. The only difference being that the Start/Finish line and sector position will not be the same, however this does not affect the data logging or lap timing.
The HM Cloud is all fully automatic meaning when a rider turns the bike on, anywhere in the world, the data logging, track mapping and data analysis aspects will work immediately. It will even auto recognise different layouts of the same track.
The HM Cloud is completely free to sign up to and the user-friendly dashboard allows riders to check out their own performance at each circuit as well as see an overview of the overall best lap times from every registered user. Designed to be more than just a performance tool, the HM Cloud is a social platform too – allowing users to connect with friends so they are able to chat online and compare data. They can even race each other around the same track that has been data logged with an HM logging product.
Designed to be as simple to upload as possible, riders need to download HM Trackside to their computer, then when the USB stick from the M3 Dash is plugged in the session information will automatically upload. This means riders are able to view their performance after each and every session whilst still at the track.
Whilst still in its early stages, the HM Cloud will be expanding over the coming months to include far more intuitive access for riders; including the ability to gain cutting-edge advice from race engineers and technicians from around the world’s paddocks. This unique feature will allow riders to book time with genuine British Superbike, World Superbike and MotoGP staff who will be able to analyse their data and identify areas for improvement.
The HM Cloud system is now live and available for use at www.hmdash.com whilst for more information on HM Quickshifter and their products, visit www.hmquickshifter.com.
Venhill’s British-made Powerhose Plus Front and Rear Brake Hose kits are now available for the 2017-2020 Yamaha YZF-R6 ABS
Four replacement brake line options have been added to the catalogue, two for the front and two for the rear:
Yam-6047f – Front Brake 1 Hose Kit, which replaces the rubber hose from the master cylinder to the yoke and requires the re-use of metal pipework. £29.00 Including VAT
Yam-6048f – Front Brake 4 Hose Kit, which combines and replaces all the rubber hose and metal pipework. £106.86 Including VAT
Yam-6047r – Rear Brake 2 Hose Kit, replacing just the rubber hoses and requiring the re-use of metal pipework. £56.47 Including VAT
Yam-6048r – Rear Brake 2 Hose Kit, which combines and replaces all the rubber hose and metal pipework. £56.47 Including VAT
Venhill Powerhose Plus braided brake lines feature a DuPont® Teflon® core, which is resistant to loss of shape through heat, delivering more efficient fluid flow to the callipers, and increased braking force compared to the originals.
Stainless steel braid is wrapped around the core, to prevent pressure expansion, with a PVC jacket bonded on, to keep water out and protect bodywork from scratches.
Threaded Swivel Fittings enable the hose to be positioned with zero twist. Venhill machine their own banjo fittings and dome-headed banjo bolts to ensure proper fitment and a consistent, quality finish.
All Venhill braided brake hoses exceed American DOT and German TUV requirements, and, for further peace of mind, every hose that leaves their UK factory is pressure tested to 1500psi.
Replacement Venhill Featherlight Clutch and Throttle Cables – priced £21.48 and £38.62 respectively – are also available for the 2017-2020 YZF-R6 ABS.
A simple solution to a potentially costly problem, Wunderlich’s R 1250 GS Engine Protection Cover protects the vulnerable Boxer engine casings from dirt and debris thrown up by the front wheel.
Sitting directly in the path of stones, road grime, grit and everything else thrown up by the front tyre, the 1250cc engine’s front casing can quickly pick up unsightly chips and marks – or worse.
Made from impact-resistant, corrosion-free plastic, Wunderlich’s Engine Cover forms a tough barrier between the casing and the front wheel, stopping harmful debris from getting anywhere near the alloy cover.
Precision contoured for a perfect fit, the cover won’t affect cornering clearance or access for servicing and repairs.
It’s quick and easy to mount, attaching via four existing points on the engine casing – no fiddly brackets or complex fitting kits – and unlike metal versions, adds minimal weight.
Alongside the GS, it can also be fitted to the R 1250 GS Adventure, 1250 R and 1250 RS, as well as selected liquid-cooled R 1200 models.
Finished in black to blend in with the GS styling, the Wunderlich Engine Protection Cover retails at £99.00 including VAT – a fraction of the cost of a replacement engine casing.
It’s available exclusively from the UK’s Number 1 BMW accessory specialist www.nippynormans.com
Suzuki GSX-R owners can sharpen up their ride without blunting their budget, with a complete range of cable and hose upgrades from British motorcycle control specialist, Venhill.
A simple and inexpensive upgrade, Venhill’s high performance stainless steel braided Brake Hoses and Featherlight Cables improve braking performance, lighten up the clutch and fine-tune throttle operation – shaving years off the feel of older machines.
Experts in motorcycle controls since 1970, Venhill have developed a complete package for Suzuki’s long-running sports bike family – front and rear brake hose kits, clutch and throttle cables, as well as choke cables for certain models.
Made in Venhill’s UK factory and designed to replace the OE set-up without the need for any modifications, each hose features a heat-resistant PTFE ‘teflon’ core, with a consistent internal diameter and smooth bore for more efficient fluid flow and increased braking force. They exceed DOT and TUV standards, and each one is pressure-tested to 1500psi before leaving the factory.
Venhill’s Featherlight Cable kits are also made in the UK and will improve feel, control and reliability. Designed as a straight swap with the OE items, they feature marine-grade stainless steel inner wire for minimum stretch, a low-friction PTFE ‘teflon’ liner for a smoother action, and are ‘bird-caged’ for strength.
Rain-X Plastic Water Repellent helps motorcycle screens, goggles and visors to stay clear when the weather isn’t – perfect for commuters, tourers and anyone who rides in the somewhat predictable UK weather!
Using the same hydrophobic water-repelling technology as the original Rain-X treatment for glass, it works by leaving an invisible, super slick coating on the visor or screen’s surface, which makes water bead-up on contact, so it rolls off quickly and easily.
It helps in particularly tricky situations – such as riding through heavy spray on motorways and dual carriageways – when visibility can be particularly poor, and reduces the need to wipe visors and goggles, allowing the rider to keep hands on the controls.
It also helps to keep visors, goggles and screens clear of road grime and other contaminants – especially welcome during the winter months.
Rain-X is safe to use on most plastics – including Lexan®, Plexiglas®, Lucite®, acrylic and polycarbonate – and is quick and easy to apply – simply spray on, wipe around the surface and then buff with a soft, dry cloth.
It comes in a handy 500ml spray bottle for easy application and costs just £12 including VAT (or £13 with a microfibre cloth). It’s available from the UK’s no.1 for BMW motorcycle accessories www.nippynormans.com
British motorcycle bodywork specialists Skidmarx have developed a Tall & Wide Screen for Yamaha’s new Tenere 700 adventure sport bike.
Made in the UK from 4mm cast acrylic, so it won’t flex in the wind, it measures 35cm tall by 35cm wide, providing more than double the coverage of the factory-fitted screen.
Like all Skidmarx screens, it’s designed to fit directly onto the original mountings, for a straightforward job – no drilling or cutting, and no fiddly brackets or fixing kits.
Available in clear, light and dark tints, the Tenere 700 screen retails at £64.95 including VAT.
YSS is the largest producer of aftermarket motorcycle shock absorbers in the world and with a wide range of applications listed on its website, parts specialist Wemoto continues to be the UK premier distributor of YSS shocks and suspension upgrades.

A simple and inexpensive upgrade, Wunderlich Footpeg Rubbers give much-needed extra comfort and grip to the standard footpegs of the BMW R 1200 and 1250 GS Adventure.
Tailored for off-road use, the original metal footpegs of the 1200 and 1250 Adventure can be problematic during everyday road riding; the spiked grips offering little in the way of comfort or vibration damping and – as many riders will attest – often causing painful injuries to the shins when manoeuvring.
Wunderlich Footpeg Rubbers completely envelop the original peg’s ‘unfriendly’ teeth, protecting footwear and keeping shins pain-free.
Each rubber is wider and longer than the original pegs, so gives a larger platform for the foot. A specially profiled surface provides added grip too – significantly more than the original metal surface in wet conditions.
They also help reduce the transfer of engine vibrations to the feet – particularly welcome on longer stretches.
Each Footpeg Rubber is precisely shaped to fit the standard pegs perfectly, and they attach using two screw fastenings, so when the terrain gets rough, they can be removed quickly and easily.
They’re made from extra tough material which is impervious to weather, remains flexible at very low temperatures, and is chemical and UV-resistant.
Wunderlich Footpeg Rubbers retail at just £39.00 a pair, and are available from the UK’s No.1 for BMW Motorcycle accessories www.nippynormans.com
They fit the following models:
R 1200 GS Rallye TE if Enduro Footpegs fitted
R 1250 GS Rallye TE if Enduro Footpegs fitted
R 1200 GS Adventure (2014 to 2018)
R 1250 GS Adventure
