  Great video mate. I’m humming and harring about a 2018 1290 SAR that’s local to me at the minute. To be honest I’d nearly talked myself out of it after reading all the horror stories online about TFT screens, keyless issues and electrical gremlins.<br><br>Watching this has given me a bit more confidence and reminded me that people usually only post when something goes wrong. The bike ticks every box for me, so it’s good to hear from someone who’s actually living with one rather than just repeating forum stories.<br><br>Cheers for the honest review.

  Can’t believe that’s been 5 years now Dan! It’s served you well and will no doubt continue to serve you well for many more years to come

  Ricardo Yelp has the videos on removing the panels and the tank on the newer 1290 SAS

  Had keyless ignition/single external button door lock on last few cars, and its a godsend - you can just have the fob in your trousers/backpack without worrying.

  I have a 2018 SAS. Thx for the video it’s great to see other owners and what they do. <br>Same opinion on the Lithium battery. I had all kinds of issues in 2019 with the original battery. Switching to the lithium in 2021 fixed every electronic issues permanently. <br><br>I just swapped out my turn signals for wieiser technix modules. Way brighter. <br><br>Where did you get the round side case?
