I recently purchased my first BMW. It’s a 2009 R1200 GSA. My previous riding experience is mostly on a Yamaha VStar 1100 ( very low sitting cruiser). Just pushing the GSA around in the driveway is quite a bit more tricky than what I’m used to. I’m flat toed when sitting on the bike. Not sure if I should save up to buy an after market low seat, but I’m going to try riding with the original seat for a while before deciding. I’m also interested in teaching myself ( with the help of YouTube and Forums) how to perform some maintenance on the bike. I’ll start with what I think are basic stuff like oil changes and tire changes and maybe work my way to valve clearance. Hi
