Hi all, just wondering if anyone had changed the gearing to lower revs a bit at motorway speeds?

Yes, there was some discussion last year. I'm sure a search will turn it up.

As they said in the other thread, 1st is quite high as it is....
What beemer should (ha!) have done, is internally changed 6th to make it about 10% higher...

I wondered about this myself when I first got mine. Never got round to it but after a few miles I stopped being bothered by the revs and decided I didn't want to lose the instant roll on grunt.

I had a K1300GT before the XR. With my wife on the back when touring, the torque from the extra CC's had little effect of the available grunt in top gear. We are both relative lightweights.
I noticed, with the XR with her on the back that the grunt just isn't there. To gear it up a bit would probably be ok for a solo ride in my opinion but with two up?
Not sure......
Cheers
