950 Desert X - Rear Subframe Removal

Discussion in 'Desert X' started by Bigrob15, Dec 1, 2025.

  1. Hi

    I've just bought a Desert X to replace my BMW S1,000XR. I am planning to remove the subframe to have it powder coated red. I'm looking for advice from anyone who has already done this. Before I start I just want to check if there are any specific things I should look out for or is it fairly straightforward? I', hoping that with the exception of a few electrical connections, nothing else needs taken apart ie is the ABR pump an issue?

    I've ordered the workshop manual which should help but just thought I'd seek advice from any of you who've already done this.

    Many thanks
